Sunday we went to the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles …. Wow. Seriously. We planned on around an hour or so to see the Elvis at 21 photography exhibit (there til March 28), but we could have easily spent all day at the museum.
Why didn’t anyone tell me!!?

I definitely want to go back to the Grammy Museum and spend more than an hour. You could make this an all-day event. Especially as it’s on the campus of L.A. Live. Go to an early lunch, and then spend the whole afternoon …

You turn the corner, and walk into the hallway where you know he is.
Your expectations are high, but you try to temper your excitement so you’re not too let down. Just in case.
You try to avoid looking up to save the moment as long as possible but it’s too hard.
You know that the place is packed all because of him. You’re elbow to elbow with other camera-toting-but-not-allowed-to-take-pictures tourists all facing and moving toward one end of the room.
Finally, unable to postpone the moment you look up. Past all the heads. …

On our last morning in Florence, the one thing that we DEFINITELY planned on doing was visiting the Accademia. So much planned ahead that we bought time-scheduled entrance tickets a couple months ahead of time to make sure we were able to get in ….
So, noonish, we headed over to that side of town (remember, walking across the length of Florence is fairly easy to do in less than an hour) … and found several lines out in front of the museum.
One for reservations (score!) and a longer one for …

Enough about me. What do YOU think about me?
Ah, the narcissism of blogging.
In all sincerity, I really would love to know what you think about Those Crazy Schuberts (the blog – let’s not start pointing out MY faults).
So far, I know Linda loves the Etcetera posts. And I know Andrew loves everything I do.
I don’t like to lead such discussions too deliberately – but I hope that the discussion is better if …

crafting link round-up from around the internets

Saturday we made a pilgrimage to James Dean’s crash site.

Although, can you technically call it a pilgrimage if we just accidentally stumbled upon it.
Serendipity.
Andrew and I left early Saturday morning to go to Paso Robles to check out a wedding venue with his co-worker (my April bride/groom). Google Maps took us via the 5 north and 46 west.
The drive up we had been discussing future daytrips we could take (since California is awesome), including visiting James Dean’s crash site.
And not 1/2 an hour later we passed a highway sign that …

A link collection of DIY projects to spice up your crafting time.

Happy 2010!
Have you set your goals? Made your vacation plans? Ate your weight in Christmas cookies?
Andrew and I are in San Francisco today – loving it.
Just for fun, I thought I’d link to the top content of 2009 (according to my Google Analytics stats from the middle of July forward:
Top content for 2009 (in roughly most hits to least)

Tattoos (far&away #1. This post of Andrew’s gets a couple of hits per day!)

I love living in Los Angeles.
There are always so many things to see, visit, tour, experience ….
I make Andrew come with me to as many as I can (it’s not as fun going alone), and recently we went to the Getty Center to catch the Irving Penn “Small Trades” exhibit before it went away.
Not only do I love the art – photography especially – at the Getty, but I love making a ‘date day’ out of it. On this Sunday in December, the museum was remarkably empty. We had a …

Andrew had access to the recording part of the studio for a few days at the beginning of the month …
He’s getting great at making the connections to expand his freelance work.
Speaking of – if you’re looking for a recording engineer for any kind of audio project, feel free to contact Andrew for a quote and availability.
On a Friday night, I stopped by on my way home from work and Andrew and Pangea were recording the keyboard parts for an upcoming release (I don’t know all the details, but …

There are a handful of pop singers out right now that I feel like I don’t know any of their music, all I know is the scandals revolving around their sad lives.  Out of the blue will be a name that one day means nothing and the next day I can’t escape it.  Like Chris Brown or Rihanna or Lady Gaga etc. etc. etc.  I have no idea what the songs sound like that these jokers sing.  And I’m irritated that I know their names and that I even vaguely …

I’ve been in the studio with William Keegan’s band Pangea since Wednesday of this week.  It’s been great so far (it’s Friday and I’m about to head back to the studio to do vocals and guitar overdubs).  We did 8 songs in one night.  Well, just the live tracks, but that’s still pretty great.
I worked with them in July of ‘09 and we did 5 songs.  A 7″ came out on Stress Domain records a couple weeks ago with 4 of the 5 songs.  Pick it up.  It’s limited to …
