Game On!
Everything is some sort of competition here.
And I should have expected that. Straight from the tasting notes, “Here at Murphy-Goode, we love making wine. Flat-out love it. We’ve won plenty of awards and plan to win a whole lot more. That said, we also love football.”
Football? Really? It might seem a little out of left field, but after a few days with the M-G crew, it makes perfect...

While You Wait
for my adventure to begin, feel free to occupy yourself with the following videos of my brothers dog.
He lent me his Flipcam for the weekend and it was loaded with the most adorable footage of his Boston Terrier, Pendleton.
I’ve taken the opportunity to post them online. Hope he doesnt get mad.

Jackpot!
Just found a really great article on how Kendall-Jackson chose their ad agency a few years ago. It’s the same agency that just did their latest ‘Taste of Truth’ print campaign, RPA (I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the ad with the big boots and the little boots recently in Food & Wine).
I’m taking two very important pieces of knowledge from this article. First,...

I am trying to make very-long-blog-URLs become a trend. So far, just @Tao_Lin and I are the trend setters.
A Sign
My bike was stolen out of my office last night. I think this is a sign. During the last phone interview (which seemed more like a job counseling session) with Murphy-Goode’s recruiter, I was gently reminded that everything happens for a reason. If I get the job, now is the time. If I don’t, maybe I’m meant to spend more time in new York. My bike being stolen is simply the powers...
Obsessed with Bruni’s Pizza roundup. He mentions “squatters”, “new loft activity” and “frat parties” in Roberta’s bit. http://cli.gs/H4qSYX

This weekend was unbelievable, and sort of bittersweet.
It really had me thinking about the trip coming up and a potential move to Sonoma County. It is, from everything I’ve heard, a very foreign place where there aren’t many fixed gear bikes, where I doubt I’ll be seeing any shows by bands names “Fucked Up” and “Ponytail,” and most importantly, where...
5 days until I go to California. I can’t believe it.

So I can keep all of my voters/supporters up to date, with a play-by-play account of all the shenanigans out in Healdsburg during the 4 day interview, I’m starting this Tumblr.
This is shaping up to be as epic as the entire season of Real World Boston, but with much higher stakes and smarter cut-throat competitors, so I know you’ll all want to check in often.
Posting the itinerary...
