Just some cellphone photography.

126 images, mostly from Richmond, Virginia, but some from our Gamelan concert/trip to New York. Great fun. Thanks to Andrea for hosting us!

Art

Anne Bucci

This robot painting is my favorite painting in the world and was done by Anne Bucci.
:

It’s going for $350 I think?

She paints at: http://thepaintingclass.com which is @ 1229 Bellevue Ave. Richmond, VA 23227 in Northside.

Her works are at The Mill on MacArthur (which I have started calling The Milf for some reason) right now so go check them out! You might find me at the bar staring into a glass of beer.

Bands

I don’t go to many shows anymore, but here’s the folks I do like to attend:

Dave Watkins
http://www.facebook.com/davewatkinsddsp?fref=ts

If Dave is doing any kind of event, just go. You’ll have a good time. How can one man with a bunch of loop pedals sound so damn sweet? Listen to the magic of the Electric Dulcitar.

Dave’s album: When No One Else is Here And Everyone Is Asleep
http://davewatkins.bandcamp.com/album/when-no-one-else-is-here-and-everyone-is-asleep

Hannah Marie / Cardinal Compass / Hannah Marie and the Bearded Ladies

Hannah was trained in classical guitar and she’s in my gamelan troupe and she has an amazing voice. I have her album Born Homesick on a thumbdrive in my car, but whether i play them or not the songs haunt me all the time I swear. In this gallery are pictures of a show with the Bearded Ladies at Weezy’s (Bluegrass covers) and a Cardinal Compass show (her original works) at The Republic. I really need a new phone with a better camera. I think I’ve got an upgrade credit coming to me from Verizon.

Nelly Kate

I haven’t seen her in a while actually, but I first heard her at The Camel at Dave Watkins’ album release party. Her album is ISH ISH, found here: http://nellykate.bandcamp.com/

Great voice, more loop pedal magic.

Gamelan Raga Kusuma

My gamelan troupe! We are awesome. We’re playing this Sunday @ Balliceaux at 8pm, FREE. Come dig us.

Our director Andy has ears that can create a 3-dimensional model of all of the sounds going on in a room at once and his eyes can shoot laser beams of disappointment at you that corrode your soul until you improve. This is us at the last Balliceaux performance. I think the same dancers are coming down on Sunday.

Games

Tribes:Ascend

I love this game so hard. It’s free-to-play and gorgeous. I play it almost every day and still feel like an amateur compared to some of the big boys. Here’s a brief lowdown on what it’s about:

Podcasts / Humor

The Big 3 Podcast

I listen to this silly show every week. It is so complicated I can’t even explain all the inside jokes. Did you see the film Windy City Heat? It’s required to understand even remotely what is going on here. The whole premise is to make Perry angry because he is completely gullible, arrogant, stupid, and he screams like a girl.

Now they do live shows on VPN! Whoo!

Order of the Envelope

Write more letters ya people! Otherwise your hand muscles might atrophy from lack of hard labor. These gals have gotten me writing letters and postcards again. It’s fun.

What an incredible waste of time and yet one of my treasured connections with art and beauty on a regular basis. I should be paid for this.

108 photos, that’s a magic number
Ranged from 12/29/2012 – 1/24/2013

There’s the attempt to clean the black beans that got spilled in my car. Bert flicking me off at Hermitage Grill. Chris and Sarah visiting from Philly. A vinyl Christmas tree. New Years at Alyson’s house and Honey Whytes. Busby on my chest in the morning, every morning. That poor little frozen Quail. Unsavory Chic-Fil-A ad. My hand, I was meditating in Bryan park. That yield sign was cool. The solar cat we got as a gift from my parents. Birthday party, buying molding, my new office, too many pictures of Sarah (she makes me), started reading Infinite Jest, Fat Dragon (previously Stronghill on Boulevard) Sapporo Samurai Sword beer tap and under the glass of the bar is a ton of those Japanese coins with the square hole ~ I always thought it was a koku, but I guess that’s wrong, Miss Hannah Standiford (Cardinal Compass) playing at the Republic, my new office, a cat postcard that Jessica Louise Dye sent me, Tim helped us at work and won a chocolate medal, at Great Wraps for South Beach Tuna they accidentally have “sprouths” on their sign, drunk me at Dot’s after the first snow (for any kind of apocalypse, head to Dot’s Back… they’ll be open), cleaning the fridge for the applicance repairman and Doof got in there (“snax in here?”), DMV was closed for General Lee/Jackson day… mmm… hmm…, sitting by myself in Phoenix Garden but I had a nice lunch, shipping a guitar loop pedal for my brother (he upgraded to something better), bought myself some Scotch and it came with a wee 18 year bottle that was delicious, last of the snowmen, Mommy’s Time Out wine at Brian’s party, going to the Village with a girl with a cracked phone… mmm… what was her name again? Cute little thing too bad i’m instantly insane as soon as I get near her, a piece of red cedar cut fresh from a chainsaw (hopefully will help fix the car smell although the dryer sheets seem to be working), Branston pickle and cheese sandwich at mum and dad’s, whoo!, a beer making kit with a cheesey guy on it, a picture of me when my mom was a stunner and I had girl hair poofs, I LOVE A DAYLIGHT MOON, I really do, more Alyssa cat doodlings, testing a fire extinguisher, happy face car in the snow from the neighbor’s kids, a tiny chocolate Jim Beam bottle, and a slate painting of Bourbon street that is hanging on my wall in my office and I think my old girlfriend Missi got it for me back in the diddle and it’s her birthday today, yay.

Then stuff people sent me. That screw that’s almost the size of a lighter was in Ziera’s leg. Yuck.

You know the drill. Click photo, use cursor keys to bring up the rest of them. Sorry cellphones, you’re all ass out. Then scroll down to the Stuff People Sent Me gallery. Man, screw wordpress. Sometimes I just want to migrate to Tumblr and get rid of this blog. I don’t type words anymore anyway.

a dead bird outside the house (Doof!), the priests of heavy lifting (Tim and I moved heavy stuff and Dad bought us those lifting straps as-seen-on-TV), moving the heaviest bench in the world,

From my Facebook: “My parents have had this picture for ages and we never knew what it was about. // Turns out a Mughal emperor once matched the weight of his son with gold and jewels on his coming-of-age birthday. He then distributed the wealth among the people as a gift.”

… Tim and I chillin at the lake at parent’s new house, the cat binge-eating cat food like a drunk with beer cans, ziera and that nutstache,

a secret neck vagina in the picture in the men’s room in Dot’s Back!
