Eternal Joy and Never Ending Splendor

The name's Tom. Freshman Geology Major at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. From Milwaukee, WI: the greatest city in the world! I love Phish, music, laughs, friends, running, nature and architecture. Ask me anything!

So college

Yes, the kid that runs up next to the reporter is me performing the role of "crazy college kid" to perfection

It's been a while, Tumblrverse. So much has happened in the past year or so, I can only try to catch up. It was the most memorable year of my life in so many aspects. I finished my running career, I was a part of 3 incredible retreats, I formed amazing friendships, I graduated, and now I attend the University of Wisconsin. What better way to spend all this college free time than on Tumblr?!

Notable Concerts in the past year (in no particular order):

Alabama Shakes, Passion Pit x2, Shouting Matches, Volcano Choir, Phish x3 in Chicago, Avett Brothers x2, Tame Impala, White Denim, Snarky Puppy, The National, Wilco, Bob Dylan.

Rest assured, I'm still the geeky Phish head.

Phish - 7/21/13 "Waves › Piper"

"Waves - Piper" from Phish's 7/21/13 show at FirstMerit Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island in Chicago, IL. Download the entire show at: http://livephi.sh/15DcQW3

So glad they finally posted this. What a great show to experience. This Piper is one of the most overlooked jams of 2013. Concise and absolutely brilliant one by the one and only Page McConnell.

View of the Northern Lights outside my dorm over Lake Mendota here in Madison, WI. Note I did not take this photo, as the lights were visible from 4 to 5 in the morning on a Tuesday, but I would give my left nut to go back and be able to see this.

Hey everyone!

So my 5 month Tumblr haitus is going to end today.  Welcome to 2013. Wow, what a crazy 5 months it has been.  To begin, I had an amazingly unforgettable senior year season of cross country that I'll never forget, worked my ass off in school, finished all applications to college, where I've gotten into St Louis University and UC-Boulder so far (hopefully Madison!), and my band, Moonsocks, has officially released our EP. Also, what a MSG run for the Phish from Vermont. 12/28, 12/30 second set and 12/31 second set are absolutely incredible.  Also, I've revamped my entire guitar rig by getting a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp and an Ibanez Jet King 30H. Excited for 2013!

I havent posted in forever, and I assure you I will start getting back into it soon (crazy busy with school and cross country), but this needed to be posted.  I just met Jerry Seinfeld AND received my signed Trey Anastasio lithograph.  What a night.
