Mr. Braddock: Ben, this whole idea sounds pretty half baked. Ben: No, it’s not. It’s completely baked. Watched The Graduate the other afternoon, which I hadn’t seen since it was on tv on a saturday(or was it a sunday?) afternoon in fall of 1996(UPN channel.) I did see part of it at Beth and Josh’s […]

Workout Routine
By Brandon Adamson
Workout Plan By Brandon Adamson (circa 2004) Some girls are all about wishing things would’ve worked out or wondering why things didn’t work out don’t work out won’t work out or if only this or that then things could’ve worked out. It’s as if instead of working things out and things working out all they […]
We called him tortoise because he taught us
By Brandon Adamson
At the used book store in the Milwaukee Airport in 1988, I made my mom buy me a book called “Winning Through Intimidation” mainly because, as a little kid, I liked the illustrations and was drawn to the cool looking turtle on the front cover. I kept this book under my pillow(along with about 8 […]
The Summer That Never Was
By Brandon Adamson
Summer is nearly upon us, as the sun hangs above ever longer with each turn of the Earth…and yet still these are dark days. Absent is the optimism, the excitement, and the anticipation that preceded all previous summers, even those awful ones which each fell victim to their unique curses. I guess it is something […]
Charlie Don’t Surf the Net!
By Brandon Adamson
So the weekend was strangely uneventful. I ended up not going out due to falling asleep during the prime time hours (10 p.m to 5 a.m thurs, fri sat and sunday night.) Also, for the entire weekend the movie “Apolcalypse Now Redux” played on repeat in my room. That’s not meant to be a metaphor […]
SideQuests on Kindle
By Brandon Adamson
A poety book I wrote a few years ago is now available on Kindle for a measly 2.99. Not that you should buy it or anything(unless unchecked narcissism and megalomania are major turn-ons for you.) You can buy it here:
coldfront III
By Brandon Adamson
So the day of Soundwave I was sick and had a major fever, but I still didn’t want to miss it because it was such a unique event. I definitely should have dressed warmer, and if you know me…you know that I already wear very warm clothes as it is. Anyway, security wouldn’t let me […]
Coldfront part II
By Brandon Adamson
Photos from the Soundwave Music Festival at Big Surf. Nothing special really. You’ll notice I took photos of Josh and Ron DMC in the men’s room, where we retreated to periodically to get out of the rain and stay warm.
Coldfront Music Festival
By Brandon Adamson
So, Soundwave Music Festival was a clusterfuck. First there was a surprise $10 parking fee, which there was no warning about(when’s the last time you had to pay to park at Big Surf Waterpark?) and you didn’t find out until after waiting forever in a line of cars. Finally, long after it was too late […]
Soundwave Music Festival 2011
By Brandon Adamson
Somehow I managed to fall asleep last night leaving the front door wide open. No wonder the rain seemed so loud. Today is the big day of the Soundwave Music Festival at Big Surf…which would be really amazing except that it’s pouring. However, it’s going to be amazing anyway. There all kinds of DJs and […]
