Since it’s uncharacteristically chilly in Orange...

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, the interwebs and whatever else I deem worthy of sharing.

In addition to my ramblings here, I write a weekly column for Getting Blanked called "The Battle Of Los Angeles" and a bi-weekly column for PureVolume called "Everything In Its Right Place".

I'm also the co-founder of a baseball-specific twitter feed and blog with my good friend Ian, called Productive Outs.

In the past, you may have read my column at OC Weekly called "3hree Things", which ran every Tuesday for a couple of years, my writing on the Los Angeles Angels and Lakers for SB Nation Los Angeles, my newsdesk contributions for several of SB Nation's regional sites, or my sporadic contributions to Flip Collective .

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.

Since it’s uncharacteristically chilly in Orange right now, I broke out a jacket I haven’t used since 2008, when we were on tour with Rise Against, Alkaline Trio and The Gaslight Anthem. In the pocket of said jacket, I found a ticket stub to 1/16th of what was an 0-16 season for the Detroit Lions. I’ve been a marginal fan ever since.
