Carbondale, Ho!

And guess what? Next weekend, I’m hopping on board an Amtrak and heading to Carbondale for a few days. Going to go hang with Abbey, an old college friend of mine from way back in the Bloomington days. She’s throwing some sort of Shakespeare Midsummer Night’s Dream party, and I’m going down to party it up with grad students. Rumor…

A Day Comprised of Various Naps

I woke up at a decent enough hour, and got an ok start on going through the images from last night’s photoshoot. However, I kept napping, off and on, all day. I zonked off at about 5:30 PM, and didn’t really wake up until around 10:00 PM. I’m not sure where this came from. I know I ran around a…

You Are I Am

I ended up having to leave the festival early, so that I could get back into the city. This evening, I was slated to take photos at a gallery opening for You Are I Am, a show by the folks at You Are Beautiful. I dropped Will and Chelsea off, ran home, taped up my car window, threw some water…

Prepare for Pierogi!

The group, about to head out. Chelsea is out of the frame to the left. Then it’s Gretchen, Julie, Carl, Kristen, Hillary, Justin, Will and Rob. I think Dave is off to the right of the frame. As we were driving along, we got stopped at a bridge for a passing ship. Will jumped out, and took the following pics…

The day starts off… poorly

My intent was to wake up super-early this morning, get all my crap together, and head out to get the car washed. I was to be driving as a part of a caravan to Whiting, Indiana for Pierogi Fest. But when I walked out to my car, I saw this… Lots of glass, still half-stuck to the windowframe. And all…

You Are, I Am

You Are Beautiful is doing a show at Open End Gallery, entitled You Are, I Am. I’m going to be helping out near the entrance, and taking photos of people as they come in. Each person is going to get a sticker/nametag that they can fill out. And, if they’re interested in participating, I’m snapping shots all night. I think…

Guess where I’m going tomorrow? Bunch of us are meeting at Rob and Gretchen’s place, and driving out to Whiting, Indiana for the Pierogi goodness. Should be a blast, and I’m sure I’ll have tons of pics.

My Shuffle

Can’t show off the app just yet, but we’re slated to launch something that should be pretty neat next Tuesday. This project is a fairly big one, for all of us involved (and has us working on several fronts). Justin is doing some hardcore data crunching to populate the thing, Ben and Chris are both working on the branding, and…

Everyone…. everyone here is a winner

The official rules, as designed by Ben and revised by the group, off and on, for the rest of the night. Remember all that tequila we got? Good. Becuause I don’t remember much. Will, actually contemplating his hand instead of aggressively betting, willy-nilly like the rest of us. Ok. I was the only one who did that. Chris and Justin….

The one Photo I took today

Since I didn’t take any pictures today, I grabbed one of the various stuff I’m trying to digest currently. First off, Ben and Chelsea are both responsible for the Sufjan Stevens purchase. Ben posted a lot of mp3’s on his old audio blog by Stephens. And more recently, Chelsea mentioned to me that he was someone she thought I’d really…

Chess Club

Forced myself to go to Chess Club, even though I had a ton of emails to respond to and a gazillion things to attend to. Why in god’s name do I follow through with chess, but decide it’s too much trouble to, I don’t know… exercise? What’s up with that? Did better tonight. Played two games and won both. Although,…

DJ Justin

I was a bit late in my venture over to Danny’s, but was able to catch Justin doing his DJ thing. Hung out with Howard for a while, and got caught up with him. I was feeling particularly worn out today, and ended up calling it a night shortly after midnight.

362.29

Met up with the girls at Leopard Lounge (we werer later joined by Matt). We all traded stories about our college/undergrad days, and I had a ton of fun helping Liz celebrate her official entry into the graduate student life. One of the nerdier things I’ve ever done. In honor of Liz’s impending study of the library sciences, I printed…
