Who let me hang out with rappers?



These were recorded last month when Astronautalis and P.O.S. were in Portland for a show. I guess this site Absoulte Punk is crazy about those guys so they arranged a “backstage session”. I met Andy (Astronautalis) through some mutual friends in Seattle a few years back. We were on the same team in Capture the Flag. The rest is pretty much history. Back then I just thought he was a really great guy- I didn’t know that he was also an incredible musician and performer. P.O.S., it turns out, is great too. That was one of the most invigorating shows I’d been to in a long while.

Anyway, why am I standing in the background of this video with three kinda big-deal indie hip-hop dudes playing guitar? I’m still not entirely sure, but I now know that sometimes it’s just who you know. If I have any advice to give it’s to make excellent friends.
