this past weekend, my buddy max put on an art show at byu even though that place sucks. it was called the alphabet show. he had some of my art up under the letter n for narrative. on a side note, i enjoy using italics. the whole thing was pretty cool. as part of the show, he got funding to fly out clint miller, who is quite possibly the most talented man i have met in person. for a little background, he is an incredible musician who can play a crazy amount of instruments, is an internationally published poet and philosopher, is an award winning playwright and also goes to harvard. yeah, i feel unaccomplished.
my friend tyger knew clint from his hometown of abingdon, virginia and gave me clint's cd a couple years ago and i've been hooked on it ever since. i think that was a run-on sentence. damn.
here are some pictures from the art show. they're kind of crappy because they're taken with my phone so don't judge me. that would make me sad if you did that.
did i mention that byu sucks? everyone there is only interested in flirting and finding a spouse. that's the only reason they go to any kind of event. they're rude and don't pay attention to anything. it feels like high school there. i wanted to punch a bunch of people in the face while i was there but i didn't because that would be assault.
anyways, tyger tried to get clint a real show while he was out there, but couldn't find anything (which is a shame) so we had a nice little show in tyger's basement. it was pretty sweet anyways. did i mention clint is an absolutely amazing musician? here are some photos of the show.
here be some videos to enjoy. sorry, some of them are kinda dark. DEAL WITH IT.

amazing cover of house of the rising sun
after the show, cole, kesia and i took clint and tyger to my place where we laughed merrily and discussed many things that were humorous and funny in nature. then, in the morning, i took clint and tyger to the airport and i was sad.
suffice, to say, clint is a great guy and all of you should go buy a copy of his album, ballad of a modern day cowboy. it's well worth the money.
you can stream his album and buy it herrrrrrrrr.
after listening to this amazing piece of art, think of how cool i am because the man you heard singing and playing all those instruments slept on my couch last night.
