This is the inaugural photo of the day blog post! Created to commemorate Zac's new camera (Canon Rebel XS), we'll be featuring a sweet new photo everyday....or whenever we feel like it 'cause let's face it, habitual activities are pretty sporadic/short-lived around here (at least in my half). So here it is - a photo of Chris taking some video footage of the moon in a blue sky.

Hi!

I just posted a crapload of pictures to our Photos page.  It covers everything from our first gig at Penn State (pre-Juno Day) to our semester abroad in Spain.  Check it out.

Overlooking Happy Valley at sunset yesterday.  At Mt. Nittany Terrace Park, just up the street from our house.

Today Zac and I gave a name to our makeshift, unofficial record label: Buenotown Records.  We reached a decision on the name after only five minutes of deliberation...which might mean that it would not actually qualify as deliberation.  At any rate, it was the most decisive we've ever been.

The process reminded me a lot of a previous brainstorming session we had during our semester abroad in 2007, in which we attempted to come up with a band name.  The idea was to shout out names with zero inhibition.  Some of the suggestions were serious, but the exercise quickly turned into a joke, and, ultimately, the results were disastrous.  Here are some of my favorites from the 3+ pages of band name possibilities:

Filit Miggnon
Mango Salsa
Glokenspiel
Chicken and Sex
The World's Wigwam
Telepierna
Bed Biscuit
The Montage (nod to our Team America phase)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Batmen
Beer
V Words
B.O.S.B. (Band of Sweet Beards)

Also on the list were Buenotown and Born in the 80s, both of which have actually been used...so it wasn't a total waste of time.  

Oh, there was also this nice little progression of thought...all frontrunners for our next band after Juno Day:

...or simply "blog" I guess...this actually has little to do with the much sexier-titled La Blogotheque.

Today is Juno Day's second birthday (sort of), and to celebrate, I'm starting a blog. This is where, for the most part, I'll be posting updates on all things Juno Day, and some things not Juno Day.  War stories, home videos, and excerpts from my gournal may very well find their way onto this page. 

In the meantime, keep listening to our humble Blue Milk EP (download sans dinero here) and keep telling your friends about this new music-creation-project called Juno Day.

Spring is in the air.  Zac is bartending.  I'm going for a Mad Mex margarita.
