I’m heading out west this weekend for four days of R&R with the misses. It’s our 10 year anniversary this week and we wanted to get away. So, here comes seafood, salt air, big cities, good coffee, and lots of photography fun. Oh, I guess I’ll have to let her go shopping too. I’m a lucky guy in that regards. Towards the top of her shopping list, North Face. Got to love that. Heading to a concert at the Gorge on the way back too.
Happy times, here we come. Watch out big city, country bumpkins are coming. Hope you’re ready.

Quite some time ago, either someone forwarded me a link or I found it on Digg, can’t remember now, for a great YouTube video. I know there are a ton of really crappy ones out there, but this one was cool (click here if you want to know what I’m talking about).
The video was a guy playing a guitar. The dude was amazing. I found out who it was and looked him up on Google. Turns out he was a musician that was just starting out. Oh, his name, Erik Mongrain. I think he’s French Canadian, but can’t be 100% sure.
Either way, I kept checking back every once in a while when I got the itch for new music. His site kept saying that his album was coming soon, but soon never came. Well, that’s been at almost a year ago. I just happened to be thinking about it the other day and looked him up again. Turns out he was selling his album on his site. Not available any where else yet, but I’m sure it won’t be long before he’s on iTunes.
So, I downloaded it and have really enjoyed it. I don’t normally share my music tastes with everyone as everyone has just different likes in music, but this guy is very talented and I would think most people would enjoy his music. So, go check out his site and play some of the YouTube videos and see what you think.
