Store Grand Opening!

This is just a short update to let everyone know that The Bearison Online Store is now OPEN!

It's a page on our fancy flash website: BEARISON.COM

The site itself has also been updated to Version 1.3, which sounds pretty sweet. It just looks better than it did. It's also about half the size of the previous version, which means about half the load time. You're welcome.

Now go buy some stuff!!!! That required 4 exclamations.

Michael not Dunston checks in...

So, let me start this by saying that all the members of Bearison looked awesome this Halloween.
Lucas was a spitting image of Heath Ledger's joker.
Matt went as the sex machine Brian Fantana from Anchorman.
Jesse dressed up as the legendary Ron Burgundy from Anchorman.
As for myself I was just a zombie with a big bolt sticking out of my face.

We had a good practice yesterday(11/2/08). The creative juices were definitely flowing between the four of us. We have 2 more songs started that I think are awesome. I can't wait to get all of our other unfinished material....well....finished! It is going to be interesting next week when we try to finish some of these songs. Keep your fingers crossed for us and maybe we'll get something completed.

I made french toast for the first time this weekend too. It was awesome, but it would've been better if I had powdered sugar to add to it. Sugar makes everything better. Wait, so does ranch dressing. Hmm french toast with ranch dressing...I wonder....nope nevermind that sounds gross!

I'm finally getting my tattoo started this Saturday. I'll post some in progress pics once I get this beast started. I'm hoping it will only takes a couple sessions, but who knows when it will be done.

Well my bear cubs story time is over and winter is approaching. You better go and get ready to hibernate.

jesse at the helm...

band news:
we had practice today, and it was really nice. we've had a bugger of practices lately, but this one went really smoothly. we hung out, worked on two new songs that have a lot of potential, and a mere 75% of us ate papa bear's chili (while a wholehearted 100% of us nibbled at papa bear's new culinary delight - salmon biscuit things).

overall participation points for the day:

mike | 100
lucas | -20
matt | -30
jesse | 110

too hunkered out (from rocking so ridiculously hard) to do links.

personal news:
may be heading northeastish at the end of this semester or for next school year. back to the indy area. doing my classes online next semester. more time in a comfortable place (ie. the internet) and less time in an uncomfortable place (ie. a classroom). i signed up for astronomy and earth science and some classes unworthy of a mention. lyns'll be going to iupui maybe, and i'll be in the fifth dimension (the internet), so i'll just follow her. why wouldn't i?

books:
i got some new books. i love reading so much all of the sudden. i can't stand reading what i'm supposed to (college), but i am completely infatuated with space right now. the cosmos and all.

currently reading/looking at:
Cosmos by Carl Sagan
Notes From the Holocene by Dorion Sagan
Cosmos by Giles Sparrow
and all kinds of shit on the internet...

i picked out a telescope i want.

---
music:
currently listening:
The Hawk Is Howling by Mogwai
The Lemon Of Pink by The Books
Dear Science by TV On the Radio
Intimacy by Bloc Party

first two = really good. second two = jury's still out thus far.

anyone on earth could potentially find something in The Books. just give 'em a chance.

---
currently awaiting:
Thursday split with Envy
Selftitled by United Nations
Eros by Deftones
Mean Everything To Nothing by Manchester Orchestra
No Siraeb by Bearison
whatever's next from Animal Collective

i just ordered the first two, and should get them this week... i'll definitely let you (the BeariSONS) know.
