the summer of pop
okay, i don’t want to let my tumblr die just yet. no more graphical lyrics/wordstuffs, sorry! i graduated a few weeks ago and now i’m on the hunt for a job. i’ve had some spare time on my hands, so i decided to throw together a summer mix. here’s the playlist. i’ll post one a day for you folks, and might even use this tumblr as a real blog.

I know I said I wasn’t usin’ this tumblr no more, but might as well rep this. I’ve been spending the last few months throwing this gig together, so I’d be tickled if any of you tumblrs and tumblettes would make the trip to Athens, OH on June 6th to see some amazing music. There’ll also be a craft fair with dozens of local artists and vendors selling cool stuff. Make it a date. It’s a free festival. Come rock out! I propose June 6th be an official Tumblr meet-up for the Midwest kids. Any takers? If you have questions or wanna get a hold of me, hit me up at promo@acrn.com.
Thanks!
Nick H.
(also, this rad poster was designed by my bud Ryan. Follow him, he’s an amazing artist and musician.)

I think I’m finished with this blog. The novelty has worn thin. Tumblarity is an upsetting idea. I have a lot on my plate at the moment. I’m at an impasse.
Thanks to those who appreciated some of the same things I appreciate. I was happy to share.
I don’t really have a personal blog for you to follow, but you’re more than welcome to befriend me on Facebook and MySpace or follow my sad little attempt at poetry.
Best of luck to all of you,
Nick
