PLASTIC LITTLE.
Publicist @ the H&H
Wow, it’s been way too long since I posted here. I’ve been quite busy, doing a lot of freelance, shooting for Pig Destroyer, TaxLo, taking pictures at a few shows… etc. I’ll be posting alot over the next few days, hopefully.
Above is a shot of Publicist from the recent Plastic Little/JC & DLake/Publicist show at the H&H (put on by Taxlo & Rabbitfoot). Good times – Plastic Little is one of my current faves and Publicist was fun since he was obviously pretty hammered so the fact that he could play drums at all was astounding!
blackie knight & the daylights.
blackie knight played tonight @ the nerve center. i had never seen them before. i drank champagne in protest of the standard house show natty boh hegemony. it was a good time. check out the pictures.
Chris X’s birthday.
Last thursday, we gathered to celebrate Chris’ birthday… This was the second time I’d been to Rocket To Venus, the new bar in Hampden, both for birthdays. I like that place! Awesome jukebox, nice decor, not TOO crowded…
juiceboxxx @ taxlo.
Caught Wisconsin rapper Juiceboxxx at Taxlo friday – he was great! Totally animated, he flailed around constantly, did a million or so call and responses, and managed to get on every surface in the place, including the pool table, one of the speakers, a rickety table (two people had to hold it to keep him from spilling to the concrete of the lounge). Good times. I bought his collaborative LP with Dre Skull (who was DJing for him), but I left it in Simon’s car.
Here are some more photos from friday. More Juiceboxxx pictures after the break.
more from friday.
More shots from last friday are up on my flickr and on taxlo.com. Check after the fold, as is usual, for more of my faves. Still have quite a few to go through.
started on this friday’s pictures…
taxlo tonight.
See you there? I posted the last of the shots from the 22nd today… Tonight I’m going to experiment with doing it totally sober. We’ll see how it goes… more shots after the break.
taxlo the 22nd.
I finally am uploading some more pictures from Taxlo 12.22.2006. Check the flickr set, or check Taxlo.com. I’ll post more later. Read on for a few of my favorite ones…
more from friday.
I like this one. More here. I also posted more to Taxlo’s flickr as well.
New Year’s Eve @ the Ottobar.
New Year’s Eve at the Ottobar was a good time – a suprising amount of people showed up (suprising because I don’t think most of them like country)… will country be the next big hipster trend? Is it already and I just didn’t get the memo?
Regardless, it was fun… we also managed to get kicked out of Sonar and I even swung by Dionysus solo, since they were open til 6 AM!!! It was basically a SIN, though.
(Read on for more shots.)
last week’s taxlo.
Starting to put the pictures up from last friday. Some are here. They will be on Taxlo.com in a few. And more will get posted tomorrow, or tonight, as well.
(Read on to see a few more shots.)
the Mishaps.
I’d been meaning to take pictures of my friend Neil’s band for awhile and by chance I ended up at a show they played last night at the Ottobar… much to Neil’s suprise. I posted four for now, more to follow.
(Read on for more Mishaps pics.)
north dakota for one more day.
Still in North Dakota, fighting hackers, playing cards with my parents, over-eating. I fly back tomorrow.
what a day.
Server issues (on launch day, of course) kept me busy most of the day, so I didn’t process that many of last friday’s taxlo photos. Here are a few.
Annoyingly, they also kept me from spending much time with my grandmother, OR going to shoot guns with my dad. Hopefully I can do both tomorrow- it’s my last day here.
I also want to try and take nice portraits of my parents and my grandmother. Yesterday I discovered that my mom is sensitive enough to the pre-flash of my SB600 flash that she always blinks if I use it in auto-exposure mode. I can’t discern the preflash from the main flash, be she obviously can since she blinks every time if I have it on. This might explain why Neena always blinks, too…
speaking of TaxLo…
Last week was pretty fun. Dave Nada was there, so it was a good time. He is probably my favorite DJ, I never fail to have a good time when he spins and he always plays something unexpected.
Not as good a time as these guys, though.
More photos soon. I have a lot of free time at my parents.
diplo @ the talking head last monday
Last monday I shot Diplo at the Talking Head. It was the last Taxidermy Lodge (TaxLo) night at the Talking Head – also probably the last time I’ll ever go there. While I never went to Taxlo there much, I went to TONS of shows there over the years, both in it’s current incarnation, and when it was the original location of the Ottobar. It will be sad to see the place go.
It was a fun night overall – packed, with a lot of people who never seemed to come downstairs, too. Carla managed to make it out, and Joe, and even Abby, Kara, Peter, and Abi! All my friends managed to get in even though there was alot of drama about it selling out. The door guy eventually had it with people asking Cullen or Simon to get them in, so he just yelled at everyone to beat it.
Eventually, it thinned out a bit – Diplo kept it going til after 3AM, after which all the people that didn’t have to get up at 8AM for work (that means, not me) went to some fancy afterparty. Who says there isn’t anything to do in Baltimore on a monday?
pig destroyer in the studio
A few weeks ago, I went into the studio to take pictures of Pig Destroyer recording their new EP, and I have slowly been processing them. I like several so far, but the studio setting isn’t the perfect place to capture them, I don’t think.
