more blurry concert photos

here's a pic from the Derek Trucks Band playing Jazz Fest a few weeks back. it was really jamtastic and smelled heavily of patchouli.



this pic is from Saturday night at the Picador. Owen, from Casiotone For the Painfully Alone, is playing us another sad song here (Toby, Take a Bow i think). this was the second time i've seen him play. if you aren't familiar with his music, you can give a listen here. a little background info here.

tinnitus

Tinnitus (IPA pronunciation: [tɪ'naɪtəs] or ['tɪnɪtəs],^[1] from the Latin word for "ringing"^[2]) is the perception of sound in the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound(s).

Tinnitus can be perceived in one or both ears or in the head. It is usually described as a ringing noise, but in some patients it takes the form of a high pitched whining, buzzing, hissing, humming, or whistling sound, or as ticking, clicking, roaring, "crickets" or "locusts", tunes, songs, or beeping.^[3] It has also been described as a "whooshing" sound, as of wind or waves.



Why I need to start bringing earplugs to shows:

fountain

an empty pedestrian mall this morning. i like it this way. there's no drunk jackasses yelling aloud, no sorority girls shouting into cell phones, nobody puking.....almost perfect.

robusto

here's a (perhaps) slightly more robust, unbespectacled, quasi-angry, Vegas version of me lifted from the nether reaches of the web. thanks to Kirk Burge for the link.

spring flowers, part 6

so i'm thinking this is probably the final installation in the spring flowers "series". these are heady times, my friends. since summer is nearly upon us, i felt the need to purge my camera of these images. i hope somebody enjoys them.








all of these were taken outside AC's place, near Burlington and Summit.

bikes and beers

you know, there are few things that i enjoy more than stopping by the local brewery on the ride home and imbibing a mug or two of their fine brew. couple that with soaking up some rays out in the beer garden with friends and you have yourself the makings of a truly enjoyable Thursday afternoon.
