Beale Street Music Festival work

BSMF blogging, year three

Okay, kids, once again I’ll be down at Music Fest this year, logging photographs and observations of the goings-on. I’m pretty excited since I’m actually getting to go all day, all three days. Usually I either have to skip a day or go down for partial days. Of course, I’m sure I’ll be sick of it all by the end of the weekend, because three days of anything is enough to make me spontaneously develop…

blogging

Welcome. I think.

Well, here we are. I say “I think” up there because I’m not entirely confident that I’ve got the kinks worked out to the extent that I should be letting people look at what I’ve done here. I mean, I know for a fact that there’s some wonky shit happening downpage — scroll and take a look — and I am having no luck figuring out why some posts are bleeding into others and why…
