Jacksonville, FL. Paul and I went for a short walk up to the Chamblin's Uptown used bookstore this morning a couple blocks from the venue. Wish I knew more about the towns I have the fortune of visiting.

Recipes: Mama Kwon's Kimchi Fried Rice (김치 볶음밥)

2012-01-25T13:20:18Z

Mom was over at the house yesterday and I couldn't resist having her make me some kimchi fried rice before she left. She explained to me that kimchi fried rice is a dish that everyone loves in Korea. It is a dish probably originated, yet again, in the poorer communities of a way of using up every bit of resource. Kimchi is a fermented cabbage that has iconic state in Korea. There are hundreds of different permutations of the side dish, and every family has their own recipe.

A festive meal

This is a composite of our family's Thanksgiving meal of 2011. I know it's a little late, but I often get the questions "What is a traditional Korean Thanksgiving meal like?" so I hope this satiates that query. You can see it's a mix of western and eastern foods. All of it delicious, not only because of the food, but mostly because of the company that comes along with it.

Cheers,

Before the Avett Brothers

2011-12-15T15:48:53Z

So, before I joined the Avett Brothers on their journey, I was in a band called Big Pretty and the Red Rockets, which morphed into a band called BUS. We had some good times all over NC and beyond, and figured we were going to take over the world ;) It didn't pan out, but it was a blast while it lasted and it led me to where I am now, so I am forever grateful for those days and that music. Just before I came on full time with the Avetts, BUS recorded an album in Greensboro, NC, titled 'Moving People.' Then the band members went our separate ways. It was our swan song. We toured the album for a bit, but years later, we still have boxes of the album in our closets, which is a shame because we think it turned out really great. In the hopes of sharing it with a wider audience, putting all these CDs in stereos and ears, and making some cash to put toward a reunion show someday, we are selling the physical CD on CDBaby.com for $8. You could get the digital download of the album for $9.99, but then you wouldn't get an actual physical object to hold, with all the lyrics and artwork wrapped in 'American Chrome' (the official yellow paint color of school buses, no lie). The music will have to speak for itself, but I think it rocks. I hope you think so to! Happy Holidays!

Get the CD here.
