General update/to-do list.

• Still must write and post reviews of NIN|JA, Band of Horses, John Vanderslice, and Zoop! concerts. If I end up going to see Old 97's tonight, that will be added to the never-ending to-do list.
• In the next few days I plan on blogging about an upcoming EP from an Denton, Texas band called Sleep Whale. The EP is very good indeed, and I'm excited to share it!
• Today marks the first day of the Infinite Summer. Are you in?
• Thanks to the support of everyone, I raised $1125 for the autism walk, besting my goal by 50%. Now I have a ton of cover songs to record. If anyone else still wants in, I will be accepting requests until June 30. Click on the thermometer to your left or go to http://tinyurl.com/thom09.
• Seriously, should I go see the Old 97's tonight? I have never seen them before, so I'm thinking maybe I should.
• Oh yeah, I have been vegetarian for nine days now. It's a small, possibly lame milestone, but it's a big change for me and I'm proud of it. I will blog more about it later this week, possibly. (See, I told you this wasn't just another music blog!)
• Seeing the film Food, Inc. later this week. You all should, too.

We're gonna build read something this summer.

For those who are joining me in taking on the challenge of Infinite Summer, here are some valuable tips and resources that will hopefully help us in our light reading project:

How to read Infinite Jest.

Printable Infinite Summer bookmarks with the reading schedule. (after reading the previous entry, I would probably recommend printing out the 5-bookmark sheet)

Note that while I will likely be reading ahead of the official schedule, I will make every effort in any blogging or discussion in which I may engage to avoid revealing spoilers.
