James Richard Lane blog

During recent activity I've been up to a lot again. My cousin Andrew came to town this weekend after purchasing him and I tickets to see Bloc Party at Rams Head but before all that, I went to a skateboarding art gallery party with James, Adam, Hannah, and a few other friends it was sick. There was a half pipe, music, and beer everywhere. Afterwards we left and walked to Club Charles for more drinks which I got way to wasted due to all the drinks bought for us. I would later stumble down Charles street and not arrive back to my house till 4am. It was slightly terrible but still a really fun night. The next morning Andrew arrived as I was getting ready to prepare for my show at Charm City Art Space that night by me learning Thom (my drummer) his parts and having young Michael (Pablo) to play all my guitar parts. It took all day! The time had come so we all arrive to open for Arab Spring, Sea Patterns, Glow Kids, & A Troop Of Echo's. I set up my drums Mike got ready with his g...

I went to New York to watch the ball in the city, it was awesome and very well belongs in my blog. Although it was so jam packed and I didn't get to actually watch the ball drop in fact I went back to where I was staying in LI to toast and drink champagne for the rest of the night. That being said I hung out in Long Island for the rest of the week and explored the beaches and the town's wits and played Madden all week. Then I came back to go to the metropolitan museum! It was huge and amazing for the little I saw. I arrived back in Baltimore to go to a BNote appreciation dinner in which and would turn out to be a vegan feast where I ate many vegan options including vegan meatloaf, it was delightful. I would later go to continue to drink large doses of wine to go back home and pass out. The next day I would get a lot exercise from a 13 mile walk from my house to the inner harbor and back but before then I would get a free water taxi ride, etc. Yesterday I would wake up at 6 am t...

It's Christmas Eve and I haven't updated this thing in ages so I will fill in the blanks on what has been happening in my life that makes this blog so interesting! For starters I've been with my girlfriend for a lot of the time enjoying every second I spend with her but just yesterday she went off back to NY for the holidays but during the time we went to the Washington Monument light up, we hung out on my 23rd birthday! We went to a Dan Deacon show, we've been eating breakfast, hitting bars, it's been really awesome! & I'm meeting her in time square for New Years to watch the ball drop! Can't wait. I also been out with friends and have been getting into some odd adventures such as going to a charity fund raiser/radio hosting interview of 3 of the Baltimore Ravens (Jacoby Jones, Carrie Williams, & Torrey Smith) I got to meet all of them! It was slick, plus the food was great. I've been doing strange jobs again where I did a focus group at the U...

In October 2011, my friend Michael mentioned a contest on Facebook about how you could win a Mercedes C-Coupe 2012 by sending in a video explaining why and what you would do with the car. We looked more into it, and it seemed pretty legit so he drew out a map of driving it from Baltimore-California, then we made the video and submitted it. 1 month later we heard back from them, letting us know we were in the top finals but the only thing is we would get the car for only 7 days! We needed insurance on it, we would also be given 4 Grand, and a camera to film the whole trip for advertisement purposes. I was at work one day and Michael called me telling me we won the car! I nearly lost my mind, and the crazier part was we had to pick it up in Hunt Valley on December 5th, 2011 which was my 22nd birthday. It was fucking insane, incredible, and unrealistic but it happened. I drive home we discuss further plans on what we were going to do, lots of ideas and thoughts came into plan but the fi...

I left for Montreal June 2nd, 2010 7:30 AM by myself, leaving from Toronto in which I was staying in a hostel there. I left because I wanted to see what it would be like to go to a place where the first language wasn't English. I was also very lonely after a 1 year break up and disbanding from my best friend of 5 years. I remember the bus ride taking at least 6-7 hours all during the time I was going through Ottawa, Kingston, and Scarborough. I made it to the station, got out and noticed everyone going to their families, and friends. It was weird because I didn't know anyone, nor did I have a place to sleep for the night I just wanted to be there and think and feel and learn. So I walked around anxious and hoped in a cab with a man who barely knew any English and asked him to take me to the HI hostel of Montreal which luckily he understood and drove me. I arrived and it looked crazy! It just reminded me of what every picture I would look at of my personal friend going on trip...

I  forgot to mention in my last post that my cousin Andrew and I hiked the Appalachian trail around the Penn Mar route in which we forgot the flash lights and matches and any other source of light besides my Game Boy ironically being in my book bag however it was a cool experience, we hiked it all day long! With heavy items to bring and camp. We made it to the top of Mt.Washington, and you could basically lay in the clouds. Finally made it to camp, and found a note that said there was recent bear activity so bag up your food well! Now to this week/ends present time. I decided to record the tracks for The Shaky Experience new release The "Clear" Album with 10 songs mainly all relative to my summer and a little of time after it too. It's a great listen that describes multiply dating, swallowing foods, and waking up on a friends futon hungover every morning with a lady at the time and below is a link! I've also been listening to a few bands albums over and over recently ...

Being honest with myself I'm still completely exhausted I can't fake how tired I am from Denver still. If only I could pay someone to live my life for me for a week but maybe that's too much to ask for a normal person to cover which leads me to this blog update thing...whatever the fuck this is. I had no clue what I was going to do for Halloween so I got an offer to go with my friend Kyle and his girl friend to DC for some electro hype house music rager to see Crookers at U street music hall which was incredible I wore some (hush puppies) multi color psychedelic swim shorts I had when I was 4 which I just told everyone I was a 4 year for Halloween. Easy! I got super wasted did a ton of dancing and passed out in them shorts I own I probably looked like the hottest creep ever. Anyway I made it back home it was cool, so that leads me to November 1st, 2012. I crashed my desktop I had Mike come over he fixed it, next I drive us to a party in Arbutus in which I randomly run into ...
