Into the Trash

Signs that the kegerator on your back porch has seen better days:

• It is older than you are. (Note: This only applies if you are old enough to drink.)
  
• It requires a fresh batch of Freon to work, which is no longer legal.
  
• It needs a new seal.
  
• It shocked your roommate when she tried turning it on.

Big in Europe

This past weekend, Bryan and Anna had a Wig and Mustache party to celebrate their birthdays. I've posted 29 pictures from that evening in a gallery for you to peruse. Pretty soon, I'll update this post with another gallery of photos taken by Bryan and Anna, so check back later.

Update on June 21: Over the weekend, Bryan and Anna gave me some of their photos from the party, so I've posted them in another gallery.

Bury Your Heart, US of A

Another photo of Fugazi from the Fort Reno show in 1997.

A few days ago, DJ told me that Fugazi was releasing 20 CDs of live performances. The discs go all the way from their first show in D.C. back in 1987 to a concert in Ireland in 1999. I'm not sure how many I'll pick up, but I'm sure I'll be adding a few to my music collection.

Now and Then

What is Your Landmass?

Dianogah, performing at the Black Cat.

Scaffolding

Another old photo scanned in a from a print. If you look closely, you can still see the fading in the lower right corner that I've corrected in a half-assed manner.

Rain in Brooklyn

Mark, taking shelter during a sudden downpour in Brooklyn Heights.

Requisite Outkast Reference Witheld

Today's weather was beautiful, and a bunch of us spent the afternoon having a barbecue for Hart's birthday. Rather than shooting with my Nikon, I shot a ton of Polaroids. Here's a gallery of some of the Polaroids from this afternoon. I used Simple Viewer, a nice Flash image gallery program that Anil linked to earlier in the week. I like the way the Simple Viewer galleries come out, does a Flash gallery work for you?

On Castle Rock

A Ton of Rusty Junk

Uncle Louis' tool shed at the cabin.

I'm trying to decide what I want to do for vacation this summer, and as always, one of the options is a trip out to the cabin in Wyoming. I'm not sure whether I'll make the trip, but while I think about it, I think I'll post a few more photos of the cabin.

Lost Negatives

Sometimes when I'm looking through old prints, I come across prints that come from negatives that I've lost over the years. I hate that I've lost the ability to print a new copy from the original, and that all I have left is banged up print. This photo from a tattoo parlor is a pretty typical case. It has tons of dust and marks on it, but I suppose that if I ever want another print, I can fix all of that stuff in Photoshop and print another copy. At least this way I can create another digital copy, and have a backup of the image. Now, if I could just find some of those old, moldy prints from the Shellac/Dis/Uzeda/Hurl tour, I'd be really happy.

Cody

It's Easter Sunday, which means I'll be heading up my parent's house for dinner soon. In some ways, their place will always feel like home, but something is definetly missing now that Cody is gone.

I Promise I Won't Be a Menace

The Monorchid, performing at Carnegie Mellon.

Kathryn told me to post band photos, so there you go.

Going Up in Alphabet City

Uh Oh, Weddings

Phil and Allison with a bunch of kids at their wedding reception.

I was just answering an invitation to a wedding next month, and I ended up flipping through some photos from weddings over the past couple of years. Don't worry, I won't bombard you with wedding photos, at least until I get back from the wedding in Milwaukee.

The Dirtiest Chair in the World

V I R G I N I A

I finally picked up a flatbed scanner today, so now I'll be dropping in some pictures taken with my Holga on occasion. Note to self: get some black electrical tape to fix the light leaks in the Holga.

Murky Waters

This is the surface of a small lake near my parent's house. When I was a kid, it was often an unhealthy, toxic green color. We never went in the lake.

I wanted to start posting some Holga photos today, but the power cable for my roommate's flatbed scanner is missing, so that'll have to wait until we find the cables.

I Dare Ya

When I was in elementary school, we would dare each other to run through this tunnel at night. The tunnel wasn't very long, but it sure felt like it stretched on for miles when I was inside there.

After Breakfast

Twenty One, That's a Good One

There are a total of nine photos from Club Japone.
