My name is Riley, and I play drums and write music for a band called Thrice.
This is where I ramble about music, sports, food, books, interwebbery, and whatever else I feel like sharing. I apologize in advance.
In addition to my ramblings here, I write a piece for OC Weekly called "3hree Things" that runs every Tuesday, and I'm also writing over at Flip Collective on occasion.
I'm the co-founder of a baseball-specific twitter feed and blog with my friend Ian, called Productive Outs.
And last, but not least, I have a bandcamp page and a soundcloud page that I'll be posting my own music and remixes on every once in a while.

I can’t possibly explain the amount of respect I have for DFW’s work and the effect it’s had on my life.
“…David made me see the world through his eyes – made me think harder, feel infinitely sadder and laugh at all sorts of crazy things. We will all miss him dearly.” -Bonnie Nadell
Lovely stuff. If you’ve ever read any dfw, there’s lots to like here. From Jonathan Franzen’s contribution:
Repost from some guy I’ve never heard of (1). I’m not entirely sure, to be honest, how tumblr knew to have this come up...
peterwknox says (and I agree):
i know this is blowing up right now, but i love dfw.
My favourite thought in this collection of tributes (and there’s some heavy competition) is DFW’s longtime editor saying...
one of my favorite writers.
Very much worth reading. Clicky the top.
