Just got home from another amazing year at the DCI World Championships at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. I’m blown away every year by the level of marching skill and musicianship these kids show. They give up their summer to travel the country performing in the sweltering heat at a level of professional athletes. If you’re looking to support youth in music, check out Drum Corps International (DCI); we joined the Friends of DCI this year and plan to continue our support next year. Though I support all the corps, I tip my hat to Carolina Crown (below) who had a performer injured during the show. He broke his leg near the end of the show, which was heartbreaking to see. But they finished their show, “A Second Chance”, and placed 4th with a score of 95.95. Check out the entire set here.

Breaking the Fourth Wall
Here’s a little short by Nathan Fielder with Katie Crown about a guy and a girl having a “moment”. It’s a little awkward, and gets more so as the clip goes on. Of course, I was laughing the whole time…

Because I Love Design…
And because I was a kid in the 70′s. I think I experienced this kind of design in our neighbors houses. Ok, it was my house and included green shag carpet. Anywhoo… for a blast from the past and some grrreat design, check out “Ugly Rooms for the Beautiful People” at lileks.com.
