a very petey year in review: 2008

well this is it. the end of a beautiful year. tomorrow is a brand new one. as my hot chocolate cools down, i take a wiggly flashback-style look at the montage of 2008.

• i got to be on vh1's 'i love the millennium' for almost 35 seconds, talking about spiderman. woohoo!
• 'sweep the leg' featured in MLB 08, on the playstation3 and xbox360.
• directed my first animated music video, and got to work with one of my favorite animation studios: ghostbot.
• went to billy zabka's wedding and didn't spill anything on my suit.
• neil and i wrote and recorded our second studio album, due out march 09. yay!
• played some great shows: linton music fest, sky show in new hampshire, … in san diego, .. in denver. met a lot of really great people.
• cornell university's renowned acapella group, the chordials, recorded a version of 'sweep the leg' for their CD 'smash'.
• finally put some artwork up for sale online at daspetey.com. hooray for procrastination.

some great moovees and music came out this year. here are some of my favorites:

top ten movies:
1 the dark knight
2 wall-e
3 iron man
4 hulk
5 kung fu panda
6 quantum of solace
7 horton hears a who
8 pineapple express

top ten songs:
1 grounds for divorce - elbow
2 lost - coldplay

6 robots - flight of the conchords
7 another way to die - jack white + alicia keys
