So, apparently the wedding pictures I took weren’t too horrible because my friends presented me with a very unexpected thank you gift in the form of the most awesome Lensbaby 2.0 (maybe they’re just really nice, awesome people). I have had it for less than a week & have yet to dedicate sufficient time to [...]
Where do they play music east of the Mississippi?
Snowball 37 is starting to plan a tour for October so I was wondering if your hometown has any cool places for musicians to play original music? Primarily, the focus will be on areas east of the Mississippi and north of (but including) Tennessee. Please comment with any ideas you may have. Also, if anyone [...]
SAPCC # 40 – Traffic AKA – Why the auto industry is failing (PT 1)
My best friend & I used to play a game called “mine.” When we were driving around, we would point out the nicest cars on the road and claim them as ours by shouting “mine.” She usually opted for Mercedes & BMW while I tended to call the convertibles. The real fight was over the [...]
Third Monthly Challenge – Assorted
After work, I picked up “Big Whiskey and The Groogrux King” wondering when I would be able to give it a first listen. You only get one chance to hear a song for the first time so I like to make it memorable whenever possible. For instance, I remember hearing Queen’s “Who Wants to Live [...]
SAPCC #35 – Comfort
In order to remember the theme each week, I usually think of a song lyric or quote. This week, for “comfort,” I cannot get “Happiness is a warm gun” out of my head. I do not own a warm gun & I do not feel like looking for my cap guns because I am sick. I feel [...]
SAPCC “Monsters” – Second Monthly Challenge
This is the story of Monster & Little Monster. After seeing him at Target a few times and almost bringing him home, Monster finally became a part of my family on September 21, 2008. He made his home in Big Papi’s cup holder.
One of his favorite things to do is say, “look what I can do” as he [...]
A New Jersey Hour
I dropped off my 1.8 lens at Canon Friday for repair. Despite receiving the wrong directions when I clicked “directions to” from their website, I had a very nice drive. I was able to see some of the farmland area where my dad grew up. It was quite sad to see how little was still [...]
SAPCC #32 – Trace
I really had a difficult time even remembering what the theme was this week. I think it is because I had no clear cut ideas for “trace” when I started out.
This is from the Snowball 37 show Friday night. The room was dark save for a few little lights & an illuminated disco ball. This was ISO 400; [...]
March 15 – NJ to TN
I cannot believe it has been over a month… I suppose it is about time to start posting some pictures & stories from the SXSW road trip. We left NJ at 11pm on March 14 & arrived in Memphis around 7:30pm (6:30 their time). The ride there was somewhat unremarkable. When we entered PA, we put [...]
Van Gogh At Work
I am pretty sure the sky I saw Friday had to be the work of Van Gogh.
I have never seen a sky quite like this.
