Ghost Buffalo to play their final shows, May 12th and May 14th

I don’t know what is in the Spring air, but a week after we announced Stereotyperider’s final shows, we got the news that Ghost Buffalo will also be coming to a close. We are truly bummed. In a statement titled, “The time has come to say goodbye”, Matt Bellinger wrote:

So unfortunately Ghost Buffalo has reached the end of the line. It is a sad day for all of us involved but the time has come. We would like to thank all our amazing friends, family, and anyone who has supported us over the years. We couldn’t have done all the amazing things we were able to do with out you.

We have two final shows lined up, one in Denver at 3 Kings on May 12th with Eyes and Ears, Bryan Hartley, and Sonic Vomit. And then we will be playing the Rocket Room in Colorado Springs on the 14th of may with the Nicotine Fits, Bryan Hartley, and Sonic Vomit.

We would be honored and blessed to have our friends there to help us bury the Buffalo.

We are hoping to still record our final four songs and release a 7″/ EP. We are too stoked on the material we have written to not document it.

Marie has plans to start working on a solo record which I will hopefully be helping her with, and I will definitely be working on something soon myself.

Again thank you all, we love you.

Matt and Ghost Buffalo

We wish Matt, Marie, Jed, and Ben nothing but the best. We love you guys and will truly miss you.

Video: SURPRISE Vinyl Collective Recycling PSA

We just got 2 recycling bins in recently as we had been feeling really wasteful. Kristin who works at Vinyl Collective/Suburban Home is probably our office’s most vocal crusader when it comes to becoming more Green. We asked Kristin to film this PSA about recycling, but we had an ulterior motive. I don’t want to ruin anything, but I highly recommend you watch the video to its end. There is a nice cameo by our own Andy Thomas!

After watching the terribly embarrassing Spiderman 3, watching this restores my faith in the super hero.

Drunken Video of the Hoff

Good thing we don’t all have 16 year old daughters who want to show us a lesson of our drunken behavior. We would all have incriminating videos like the youtube video posted above. You gotta love the part where the Hoff grabs the burger and it just makes a mess all over the place.

We all love the Hoff and it wasn’t that long ago, the Suburban Home crew got a photo opp with him in Las Vegas for this year’s punk rock bowling tournament. Looks like we should have given him a drunk dial business card.

HOWTO: Open A Beer Bottle With A Piece Of Paper

[youtube]qrXmDiYHUY0[/youtube]

Have you ever been at a party with a 6 pack of good beer and no bottle opener in site? I have friends who can pop their tops with a lighter, but this video shows you how to open your beer with a piece of paper. This could turn the game of Rock-Paper-Scissors on its head. Now we all have a weekend project to attempt! Let me know if this works for anyone.

We are getting crazy at Suburban Home this Friday afternoon

What happens when we receive our American Apparel wholesale order and it comes with a free sample of men’s underwear? The photo says it all. Marshall was dared by Seabron to wear the undies around the office for the rest of the day and she would give him 10 bucks. Marshall scared one of the other tenants in the office downstairs when he came out of the bathroom wearing only his undies and a t-shirt, but it is all in the name of fun.

Every Friday, we start drinking beer shortly after lunch. This afternoon, I decided to bring back some 8th grade nostalgia, the Mad Dog 20/20. I had everyone have a little sip so that we can recall the days when we drank the 20/20 on a regular basis! Kyle from time to time plays some 2 Live Crew which he is doing right now and this inspired me to listen to some N.W.A. Everyone should celebrate the entire N.W.A. catalog!

Happy Friday everyone!

Have you ever had one of those mornings?

Alright friends, you know that I am not one to bitch and moan, but I have had a rough morning. My son, Logan, has had a cold for the past 10 days and he has not been sleeping well. When he doesn’t sleep well, guess what? i don’t sleep well. Last night was the 3rd night in a row with very little sleep. I actually woke up at 2:30 am and decided to read the book that I am reading. I read for 3 hours and decide to take a “nap”. The nap lasts til around 7am when I decide to get up and start my day. On my way to work, the Thai food I ate the night before takes its toll on my bowels and it takes every ounce of strength and will power to not shit my pants on my drive to work. I think about possible scenarios and my frantic drive turns desperate. I finally make it to work after running red lights, speeding in school zones, and doing everything I can to break my record to get to work. I run up the stairs and head straight to the bathroom and narrowly avoided a disaster. While finishing up in the bathroom, my wife calls me to tell me that my son has a rash and the doctor’s office needs him to come in immediately to check for possible allergic reaction to the antibiotics he is on. Because of this emergency I forgo the morning coffee I usually get so I can meet my family at the doctor’s office. We are forced to wait an extraordinary amount of time at the office to find out that Logan is in fact not responding well to his antibiotics. He gets prescribed more antibiotics and some anti-histamines to clear up his rash. My wife and son head home, I go to the nearest coffee shop to order the largest Latte they have. I head into office cracked out of my mind from the lack of sleep. We at Suburban Home go out to lunch every Friday and we had planned to go to Tom’s Home Cooking, a favorite of everyone’s especially me. Someone tells us that they are closed for vacation and the thought of eating there was seriously what was getting me through the morning.

I had a choice to make. I could either let the first half of the day’s events ruin my afternoon or I could chalk it up to a bad morning and get through the rest of the day. I chose the latter, had a great lunch with the staff outside in the beautiful sunny day, and Hannah just handed me a beer(a Newcastle)! The day is already looking better and I plan on hitting a happy hour with some college buddies as we all plan to go see the Denver Nuggets play the Detroit Pistons. I am not a big sports’ fan, but I am looking forward to seeing some friends I don’t get to see as often as I would like. I also just got an offer from Nick Storch (booking agent) for Tim Barry to open an upcoming William Elliott Whitmore tour. I called Tim and he is going to let me know on Monday. i am crossing my fingers as this would be a huge break for Tim!

Here’s hoping that everyone else has had a better morning than I had and hope that everyone has a killer weekend!

Flatulence forces emergency landing

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – It is considered polite to light a match after passing gas. But not while on a plane.

An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing Monday morning after a passenger lit a match to disguise the scent of flatulence, authorities said.

I find lots of humor in fart and poop stories and love that this was newsworthy. If you are interested in reading the entire story, click here.
