This weekend I went on a camping trip with 5 other guys from my small group.  We hiked to the Bridge to Nowhere.  It is a bridge that was built in 1936 to connect the San Gabriel Valley to Wrightwood.  In 1938 a great flood washed out the East Fork Road.  The project was abandoned.

Check out our pictures!

Kotaku has article about GTA IV and it’s about the multiplayer side of the game. After reading it I can’t wait to play this game.

So I finally found a design that I like.  This one allows my other pages to be seen as tabs at the top of the site.  It will take a little bit more work on my part but I think it will be worth it.  New pages and content to come soon.

Amaradio is an up and coming artist bringing a fresh sound to the music scene. They have high energy songs that send a positive voice to their audience. Click the picture to listen to them. While you are there vote for them to play at the Vans Warped Tour! You can vote once a day. They are currently third place in votes. Which I think is pretty awesome in itself but these guys deserve the exposure the Vans Warped Tour can bring. They are great guys committed to the music.

The lead singer, Ryan, is a good friend of mine and is going to be in my wedding this summer. So I am a little partial to this band over others on the site. But I honestly wouldn’t recommend them if I didn’t truly like their music.

So vote!

If you would like to see them in concert they will be playing at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, CA on Tuesday April 15th. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at www.allages.com
