The entirety of Friday was spent in anticipation of one show: The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I have been obsessed with this band since 2004, when Amber put one of their songs on a mixed CD she made me for my summer in Birmingham. I love them so much and I love Karen O for being such a ridiculous badass, so the idea of getting to photograph them from the pit thrilled me to a degree…
Some tales are so absurd that they can’t really be told. “You had to be there” is not just a cliché; it’s a truth. Expand it to “you had to be there … inside my head” and maybe you’d be able to understand why I am at a loss to try to explain the events of Thursday night in a way that conveys their very ridiculousness and surreality. So I biff off toward Nashville Thursday…
No time for art. Just packing. That container has since been filled to the brim and now I’m trying to see what I’ve left out. One thing I’ve got to pick up is boxed wine. Oh yeah, and food. Tomorrow morning (ugh, well, later today) I leave out for Nashville, where I’ll pick Amber up at the airport and we’ll truck it to Murfreesboro to pick up our tent and other camping goodies from her…

Got to see my friend Jacquie from DC for a split second. It was her first time in Memphis and she was only in town for a few hours, so the kids took her to the Orpheum, Ernestine & Hazel’s, and the P&H. That’s about as thorough an introduction as a person can get, I’m pretty sure. [Project 365]
Django secretly loves me (he would never admit it in mixed company) and Geisha still looks at me with the eyes of a crackhead. [Project 365]
(This entry originally posted Friday at The Memphis Blog) The World Championship Barbecue Cooking contest is heating up in every literal way possible. I moseyed down there for lunch today to visit my friend and co-worker Mike (below, at right), CA plateroom/prepress man and the brains behind Sow Luau, and sweated buckets in the sun. But it’s a beautiful day so I can’t complain too much. I got some free food (a hamburger, a hot…
Amber: We need a bucket and laundry soap. me: yeah Amber: Biodegradable laundry soap. So we can drink it and get fuuuuuuuucked uuuuuuup. me: woooooooooooooooooo *urp* Amber: lols me: i guess my biggest concern is the bathing situation. i get grumpy when i’m dirty and especially when my hair gets greasy.
