Hi there, I’m Brian McKinney

Developer, designer, musician, recording engineer. In other words, I like to make things

Miniature vanilla donut or miniature vanilla scone for breakfast? It's like playing Russian Roulette except you always win.

Word on the street is that I'm getting home made chocolate chip cookies on Thursday. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to this

@slimfender So good. If there was a Winstead's in Lawrence, I may find myself the slightest bit content here.

I'm at Bourgeois Pig in Lawrence, KS [1]

For some reason, Winsteads just popped in my mind. I freaking love that place.

Whoever said Tres Mexicanos is good on Tuesday nights is full of shit.

Finally broke down and bought Bat For Lashes Two Suns. It's just that kind of day.

@brittdetienne Oh we did sir. Two cigars to be exact. Beautiful night, wish you could've come out. Next time!

A small celebration is in order for tonight. A few beers, a patio, I may or may not partake of a cigar even.

Just What I Needed by The Cars. YES!

@thisphrase No luck yet, but I'm hopeful that I'll find some place that will allow me to record in peace.

So my last.fm album charts for the last 6 months are rather telling: [1]

Driving around looking for recording friendly apartments and listening to Layla on the radio. Not a Bad Sunday arvo.

@thisphrase 96 tears! ? And the Mysterians. So awesome.

Why do I still feel like I'm behind a velvet rope at the Driskill hotel bar again?

@slimfender Yeah, there's definitely a reason I live in Lawrence, but from time to time, I find myself missing my old stomping grounds.

@slimfender You're making me nostalgic for the K-State campus. Wish I was working there today.

Secluded patio, beer and some work to do. Couldn't be a better Saturday.

There's a boat in the back of my truck!

Awesome band at the Jackpot tonight: Radio City.

Related: Neko Case is one of the best singers I've ever heard/seen.

The New Pornographers are going to be at Liberty Hall on July 26. Could be a good show.

Check please!

In honor of the fact that the Walnut Valley festival is a mere 166 days away, I will be listening to the Steeldrivers this morning.

I'm looking over Neptune City...I'll come down and walk around a while, until I'm sure I can never go home again.

It's a beautiful day to work from a patio, a wonderful day to work from a patio. Would you be my? Could you be my? Neighbor.

@slimfender Ummm, hate to break it to you, but I work in an office and I'm distracted by this socialish junk all day long.
