Hostel Environment

My last week in Taipei, Jules and I stayed a few nights in a one room/two bed hostel. We went bar hopping one night, and when we got back, I snored and grinded my teeth all night long. The sound was/is so horrendous, Julie stayed up all night begging and pleading for me to stop breathing. The poor thing couldn’t sleep but a few hours.  (I also know she contemplated smothering me w/ her pillow.) The next morning, when I woke up bright eyed, and bushy tailed, I asked a poorly rested Julie, “Hey, how did you sleep?” From that point on, Julie knew NOT to share a room w/ her good ‘ol Nav. 

Will the real Julie please stand up?

In Austin, Julie and I were going to share the guest room in a house martine and Marisa had found to rent. Julie wouldn't sleep in the guest room because there was taxidermy. Martine removed it from the wall and put it in the closet, but that was still a little too gross for our Jules. :)

Julie and I went to SXSLucero this year, shortly after we met. She is a SXSW pro, and had a mission to see Lucero as much as possible. I drove to Austin and she crossed town to meet me so we we could walk to the next Lucero show together. We stood in line at Club 96 for, what felt, uncomfortably too long. We (okay, Julie) were afraid we couldn't get in, the line was so long. We barely made it (or at least we told ourselves we were the last ones let in the door), and as soon as we walked in, we found out the promoter from Fender was an old friend of mine. He got us VIP wristbands, and we stood nice and close to the stage.  Julie thought I was Lucero magic, but it was definitely just a lucky break!

We sent this to our fried Wes when we hadn't heard from him for a while. Pouty Julie gets results!

Jaime's good friend Julie

Well, here's the text feed from Jaime realizing that WE DONT KNOW THIS JULIE...

We asked everyone to send pics and stories behind them...Jaime kept sending me these weird stories and pictures of this girl.  Finally, we resolved the Three's Company plot...

Oh. My. God. Hahahahaha!!!!  Okay, all this time I thought you were my friend Julie Grantham's friend. I just met Julie Guerra a couple months ago!!  But still, I may have some photos. 

That is so funny!  I got all of my mutual friends involved (of Julie Grantham's), and both of my Julie's share the same birthday. Sorry for the confusion!

Well, here's the

Family Fun

Just look at her face - can you tell how much she loves her grandmother??? And her cousins too of course.

She looks really comfortable holding that gun, but you should have heard her freaking out before the first time she shot it. Surprisingly she was a pretty good shot!

One of many fantastic Thanksgiving celebrations with the Bertinos!!!

The photographer didn't get the memo about not showing your bare feet!

Festival Feevah

Our first ACL Birthday Extravaganza!!! Oasis, Jet, Franz Ferdinand, the Black Keys - not too shabby!!! Here's to another beautiful birthday, Jules!!!! 

Julie refused to smile from the camera and proceeded to belt out the lyrics to the Lucero song. How dare we not pay full attention!!

Things you may not know about Who...

Sally Jessie Who?

Oh - you didn't know Julie used to be a straight up thug gansta? Oops.

Slaves, Gypsays, Tramps and THEEVES...HUH!

The salt-in-the-water trick worked like a charm on Julie at this restaurant in Venice. She had no idea what was in store for her as she raised her glass of ice water for a refreshing drink. Hahahahaha! We got it all on film! Yes.
