thanks to all the folks who played vegetables with me at first fridays last night. i grabbed a cucumber & bag of carrots out of the ‘fridge, then went to the grocery store for a butternut squash, and hooked them all up to the makey makey. i’ve played carrots before, but this was the first time for a cucumber and squash. almost everybody who passed by wanted to play veggies. some girl even told me how much she loves weird stuff like this and gave me two bucks.

explosions are going off in the neighborhood as i write this. it’s the fourth of july. tomorrow night i’ll be the one making startling noises at first fridays because of mondo beep.

thanks to everyone who came to our (mine and jenny’s) 25th anniversary 80s dance party last saturday night, and thanks for all the cards & well wishes we’ve received over the last few days. we feel VERY fortunate to have all of you as friends and family.

jenny & i are camped out at a state park in clear lake, ia. we found a cool little coffee place that was just a few minutes away from our tent where we could eat bagels and drink fresh roasted coffee.

i paid money to see ghostbusters at least 5 times in theaters. i spent an obscene amount of quarters playing donkey kong in the 80s. what’s another eleven bucks for this t-shirt? temptation, thy name is tee fury.

bought a roku a couple of days ago. one of the channels i can stream to my tv now is VEVO! VEVO is home to 75,000+ music videos, many of which were made in the 1980′s. i found a way to take back my old MTV.

if you stopped to play carrots with me on 18th street tonight, this tweet makes perfect sense. it was awesome weather for first fridays and mondo beep. i hooked the carrots up to the laptop and invited pedestrians to play… and we played those carrots ’til the battery died. thanks everybody!

i had to miss last first fridays to attend graduation activities in may, but hey it’s june! tonight mondo beep returns to the usual spot on 18th street (between the hip hop crowd and the fire jugglers) with a monotribe, a casio, and vegetables hooked up to a laptop! and if you’re one of the pedestrians that picked up a flier with davidcedillo.com on it, thanks for checking out my blog!

in a couple of days i’m going to listening party for a 4 disc set that the flaming lips released in 1997. zaireeka was originally on four CDs (that have to be played simultaneously), but on national record store day the band released it on vinyl. the nearest record store that is hosting this event is a 5 minute walk from my house.
