WatchThe Doomtree Crew Record drops TOMORROW ya’ll. Here’s the first video from the album. That’s one bike gang I wouldn’t want to cross. [via Shanai on FB]
Kate Bush is kind of amazing.
The ants are winning.
We swept, we mopped, we sprayed. We thought they were gone. But this morning we got home and they were back in full force. No longer solely interested in just the kitchen, they’ve designed a new route that manages to hit pretty much every room on the first floor.
I’d estimate their numbers somewhere around ‘way too fucking many.’
I’ve been in the mindset that...

We saw Scott Seekins at the Pizza Farm in...
No joke.
He was there with 4 or 5 women that were about half his age. Scott Seekins is a Twin Cities artist who is famous for being famous here in the TC (like Julia Alison, but before the internet).
