Wednesday night at Off Broadway

The new camera does really well in low light, and it works with all of my old Nikon lenses.


I took this pic of Holcome Waller (in his fancy shirt!) from the balcony of Off Broadway with a 40 year old 200mm lens.


And here's Haley Bonar...


and Daniel Martin Moore.

It was a good show. Exactly what I needed last week.

Did you know they have swing dancing every Thursday? I didn't. I mean, I still would have agreed to meet for drinks - I just didn't know.

What you need for a Cat Nip double


JD, watching her friends take to the Nip

Watching Visioneers at the SciFi Lounge

Have you heard of Visioneers? Zach Galifianakis plays a rudderless man living in a world where people just explode.

JulieDill & I met our friend Byron in U City for a viewing at the SciFi Lounge.

Lambert St. Louis International Airport

Waiting for Julie's flight. The East Terminal is amazingly empty at 1am.

Ben Folds at The Pagent

Good piano-stompin' fun.
Yes, we sat so we could watch the keyboard.

Amy D's reading at The Focal Point

The St. Louis Poetry Center hosts a series of readings at The Focal Point in Maplewood. My friend Amy let loose a bunch of her well ordered words for them Back on July 22.

This is Amy, on the left.


The SLPC is a very respectable group. Respectable. Amy, Julie & I lowered the mean age in that room considerably (and I'm almost 40).



I enjoy going to The Focal Point. The have these old wooden, yet strangely comfortable, theater chairs.

Last Week @ Novak's

JulieDill offers a visual aid as Sarah lays down the lines.

At Cath's Toilet Party

Sometimes you just have to pick up your tools, get together with your friends, and fix a toilet. It's what we do in the city since we can't have a barn raisin'.




While Karen & I worked in the bathroom, Cath hunted up parts for us, and Julie finished putting away Cath's Christmas gear.


Tech note: No, I didn't think to take a camera with me. I took these with my cell phone.

preshow fun in the loop

Whoops, I thought I'd already posted these.
I know how you hate to see my life out of order and all...

In front of me, Julie:


It was a good dinner.
