I write for a reason… I’m much better at it.

It was a free awards show with amazing bands playing and stars abound. So what could’ve been bad about it? The entire event was possibly one of the most poorly-planned gigs I’ve ever seen.

Last month, I attended Coachella as a guest of Sony. I was only able to attend one day, but you bet it was worth it!

Alongside a few personal updates, I have for you an article on hipsters, a cute animation, and a happy little pop tune.

This week, you should check out a great food blog, Ellen’s needless apology to Apple, and some new music from the Gorillaz.

Aubrey Sacco did not board her plane on Saturday and is still missing in Nepal. Members of her family are planning on traveling to Nepal to continue the search for their daughter while it appears that no leads have led them any closer to finding her.

Boulderite and Colorado native Aubrey Sacco, 23, is missing in Nepal after failing to contact her family after a solo, week-long trek in the region of Langtang. Please help find her!

I arrived in sunny San Diego on November 8, 2009 with no idea what to expect. Had you asked me then where I’d be in six months, I’d have given you an answer quite different from reality.

For a few weeks now, I have been so busy! I’ve even been too busy to post a Must Read/See/Hear update; there’s just so much going on, like moving, finding a job, and attending boatloads of events.

I figure some politics, gigantic iPhones, and a great song from an awesome Denver band will make for a great start to this week. This week just has to be better than the last!

It may be yet another week following far too short of a weekend, but there’s really no choice but to own up to the Mondays and dig in anyhow. I guess that’s part of why I write this on my blog — to get over my “Mondays” and start the week with something good for me to share, and hopefully, something good for you to read.

What’s on the plate for Monday, March 15? Whether it’s Manny Pacquiao, OK Go à la Rube Goldberg, or the always-reliable Spoon, here’s something worth checking out for your Monday morning.
