Atlanta, Charlotte, New York

This post is a little delayed, but here nonetheless.





Oreo Brownie Earthquake. Holy Crap.



We spent a lot of time with the cat.



Even though it's a little devil and likes to bite, as one can see in this picture. It actually hurts a lot, I was just being a man for the photo.



The Smelly Cat, great coffee place in Charlotte.









What I saw upon entering my new apartment.





The view from my room. Not bad, considering the Met Life tower is probably my favorite skyscraper in New York.



Video shoot for Ignorant Swan, a Jaydiohead track.

Austin, TX



Love this guy.



And this guy.



I miss Texas thunderstorms.



Prepping for the surprise birthday party.



She was surprised.



Dancing.





Two of the best people in the world.



It was a microphone.

San Francisco, CA



Saw Up in 3D.



Farmers Market.





San Francisco is foggy.









Dead pigeons.



We rented a car and drove down highway 1 to Monterey.





Driving past lots of this listening to Hoppipolla. Needless to say it was incredible.

Portland, OR





The lush Portland skyline.



Met Abby Metty for the first time. Oh mutual friends.



Ethiopian food. Pretty tasty. The guy did have to show us how to eat it though.



Portland is microbrewery capital of the world apparently. Abby is a photojournalist and these last two were hers.

Seattle



Pike Place Market.





Top Pot Donuts. Holy Crap. Best place ever.



Abby unassumingly suggested we go to Top Pot, little did she know how it would change my life.





Awesome library, the books gently spiral around the staircase for several floors.



I want to work on a freighter.
