So after the Lakers received a Game One walloping from the Thunder, Russell Westbrook decided to throw on the #swag-most outfit in his closet. It prompted the following quote from Kobe Bryant:
”I didn’t see it … I know he wears a lot of weird s*** though. It must be a generational thing.”
You may or may not recall this fashion shoot Kobe did for Vanity Fair a while back, but just in case you didn’t — well — it’s here.
Caught 1.125 of these guys’ SXSW sets and it was a burner. All hail Cloud Nothings.
My second Oklahoma City Thunder story
The first was explicitly about basketball.
This one’s about charity.
I started a new job.
Some — but not all! — of the stuff I do falls within the pretty cheesy category. But my new employer’s running an exciting business model and I’m learning tons about business culture, public relations, and writing for web-hosted business; all of which I’ve found terribly interesting.
And on top of that I’m earning really good money and still have time to talk to guys like All-American Rejects and local rappers who record excellent music. Could be worse.
As the new gig unfolds, it’s becoming more and more self-evident that my enthusiasm for writing and research is unbridled by a specific focus. I want to do so much and please so many people that I think I’m sort of pinballing from opportunity to opportunity. 23 and single’s alright for that though, I suppose.
Hey Glen. You’re my favorite.

My first Oklahoma Gazette cover story, about the excellent and surprisingly prolific Stillwater, OK band Other Lives. They’re about to head off on tour with some dudes called Radiohead.
