It's summer, and I'm sitting in the Mark O. Hatfield Library??





Has the world gone mad? Isn't Willamette supposed to shut down and disappear during the summer? Well, apparently not, the library is hoppin' as is the Mill Stream Market. Dan and I spent our first night at Katie's house ("The Shire," apparently) after squatting for days in Lausanne 111 for lack of a bed. We live in the basement area which was kinda dirty etc. but has a nice view of the mill stream meandering by the back yard. Today we saw some "baby" canadian geese today. Man are those things oogly! They look prehistoric, like they'll grow up into raptors. But cute at the same time.

Last Thursday the Motz team tried to record but Andrew Smith's recorder kept stopping randomly and we couldn't make it through a single take. So we spent two days ebaying and craig'slisting it up to try to find a new tape recorder. We finally found one in PDX and drove there on Saturday. We picked it up from a house in North East pdx from a woman who gave us blessings and told us to look up her band on myspace. I think it was called Spider and... something. Then, of course, Brian ( and Evan) really wanted to check out John's Marketplace which has the largest beer selection in the world! (slash Oregon). Dan and I roasted in the car while they spent HOURS looking at beer. JK JK, no really.

Turns out we didn't get to be in Sam's movie because he didn't have time to film us. Darn. But our music will still be played for a scene or something. Yesterday Motz recorded all afternoon and Brian's mom treated us to a tasty dinner at Word of Mouth. yummm.

Stina has been rowing multiple times a day. I hope she's wearing sunscreen.

The End.
Love yall,
Madzz
