First quarter ends. Site is redesigned into the "widescreen letterbox" format. Espiritu records a Christmas song. Jason Mraz concert review. Eugene and Andrew remember the strap keyboard and Bomberman. Dave and friends make a Christmas card. Don throws a Christmas party.
Now Halfway Decent Samurai?
Welcome to the newly redesigned Okaysamurai.com. While we now resemble an online magazine more than just my personal site or a promotional tool for the band, it's still the same eight guys writing the same stories about hitting geese with golf balls or having boxes of crayons thrown at them.
I leave for Atlanta tomorrow morning, but I had a relaxing and fun break back home in Virginia. As always, it was great hanging out with the band again - these guys will be my best friends for life, whether they like it or not. Santa delivered big time this year. I got the Boss RC-20 Loop Station, which has added an entire new world to my music. Andrew and I continued our gift tradition - he gave me Gigli on DVD, and I gave him a crappy Corey Feldman kung fu movie and a Playstation 2 scooter fighting game. On the video game side of things, I got Viewtiful Joe, Sarah got SSX3, and Andrew got Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - all three are unbelievably cool. I'm sure that Andrew will write about his big present after his upcoming NYC New Year's Eve trip.
Make sure to listen to Eric's Christmas Mix two posts down (great job as always, Eric - definitely hearing the recent Beach Boys influence). Is this guy amazing or what? Happy New Year and enjoy the new site.
