buying music

Getting shit done before I run away for a week. (Yes, I am hiding away for a week.) Had a show last night, was suppose to get work done but my girl j.mena took a sick day so we went shopping. Thrifting. What we do best.

Back to work. Then off to a birthday dinner. (I am never done celebrating my birthday)

Side note: I purchased 3 CDs today. Yes, I buy CDs. I like the idea of actually having something to hold on to and read. It's the music lover and pack rat in me.

The purchases: 

macklemore & ryan lewis - The Hesit

NaS - Life is Good

and Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d. city

All were worth the price. I believe in supporting artists and supporting GOOD music. So I only buy GOOD music. You should too.

Guttesnipe Tip - Go shopping at places like goodwill now for the after Halloween deals. Buy costumes for next year maybe. 

Garage Sale X Garage Bands

Yesterday I went to an AMAZING garage sale! Best part; it wasn't just a garage sale it was also a free show of some of the best local bands in Seattle.



This mix of garage sale & show case of "garage bands" was put on by local DJs Hoot N Howl. Best known for their 80's/90's Tuesday nights at Havana on Capitol Hill. (If you are every visiting Seattle you MUST go see them! And if you live in Seattle and have never been... What is wrong with you?)

My sister Claire and Caela were selling clothes and so were a lot of other lovely peeps. I went and checked it out with my girl J. Mena.

 Look! It's the boys from Gran Rapids!

 As for today, well, I am off to have a nice breakfast by myself (the best date) so I can read my Sunday New York Times, then work, then dance the night away. I might love the fall but I will miss summer days like these.

I got the idea of tying a knot in my dress from my fashion icon Jules who blogs over on Sincerely, Jules. She's bloody brilliant with color, dresses with sneakers, and her wrist game is on lock!
