Ryan: Does seem to maybe be drifting a little towards the alt-country/modern folk corner of the musical world; this week he was at a wedding with the Dave Rawlings of the Dave Rawlings Machine, who some of you may know better as Gillian Welch's long-time musical partner. I note this as the alt-country people are a very different kettle of friends than his current collection of socialites. Tangentially, the lightbulb joke Ryan repeated came from Rory Guiness, who is indeed one of those Guinesses. He is, as it happens, also a musician, and, with his sister Rebecca (writer for Vanity Fair), step-child of J.P. Donleavy, author of (among other things) The Ginger Man, which Ryan appears to have read back in the spring.
Following the wedding there was some getting lost and some buying sweater vests, then some shenanigans with Z, and then a diverse (if not dizzying) collection of films: Pippi Longstocking, the Crips and Bloods documentary, and Big Daddy. Musically he made a reference to "Sex On Fire" by Kings of Leon and also re-tweeted a link in support of Jason Boesel's new record. (Boesel is also part of the alt-country/modern folk crew, having previously been affiliated with Rilo Kiley, The Elected and various Conor Oberst ventures.) Finally, he was pleased that the Shit My Dad Says twitter is going to be made into a TV show, wished Dan Angel Snow Freak a happy birthday and congratulated him on sharing it with Lou Ferrigno, and bantered about his "munchkin fashion sense" with a friend.
Brendon: Went to Brazil and Chile, and discovered that sometimes terrible television is better in Spanish. Also combined references to "It's So Cold in the D" (song) and The 'BU (OC parody show by Lonely Island crew set in Malibu) in one tweet, and traded Back to the Future allusions with Dallon. There were also a couple of tweets about what is clearly the best breakfast of all time, a pancake-hashbrown-sausage sandwich, followed by an introduction to Hawaiian slang. (Broke da mouf and ono-licious are both indicators of tasty food.) Finally, he also wished Dan Angel Snow Freak a happy birthday.
Spencer: Discovered that good tv is still good in Spanish, but bad tv in English is still bad, was symapthetic (and a little sarcastic) at Haley about the cancellation of Dollhouse, and shared a picture of a tarantula. (It's kind of cute, actually, but arachnaphobes, be warned.) He also wished Dan Angel Snow Freak a happy birthday.
Jon: Has changed his profile picture again! His face continues to be undistorted, and it looks like he may have cut his hair, or at least done something with it. To me he looks a little thinner, though that might just be the camera angle and the refracted effect of the big sad eyes. I also thought maybe he'd gone back to the eyeliner, but on closer inspection that was wrong.
In other news, he also won his game of Star Wars Monopoly before kicking off a very interesting week, cultural reference-wise. He mangled some quotes from War and Peace and Victor Hugo, joked about working on Thanksgiving and Christmas records (I have totally had to sing Thanksgiving songs; anything he came up with would surely be an improvement), quote a line of Do You Hear What I Hear followed by a cold-weather play on "It's Getting Hot in Here" by Nelly and then was evidently swarmed by ladybugs. He also told someone (or a collection of someones) to write their own songs; the "I take it back" that followed may or may not be related.
