a sunset, some clouds, and myself:

oh yeah, and a bourbon tasting. MMM free booze. although I was exhausted and continued to be for the rest of the weekend.

What's wrong with this picture? Somebody out there knows.

Romantic Disaster at HiLo

Romantic disaster is a local band that's doing amazing things. They've got a great sound and a great look, the kind that even comes through when they're all wasted and playing a quick set at an AIDS benefit show at a dive like the HiLo. In fact, it probably added to the rawness and unpredictability of the whole thing. Of course, your humble blogger was drunk off his ass, so maybe I was just responding to the visceral loudness and hotness of their lead singer. But I've heard them play before, when I was sober and so were they, and they're good. Put them on your list of bands to catch, and then someday, you can be like, "I saw them in this tiny ass club in OKC. The bassist used to make my pizza." Oh wait, that's me.

Norman Bike against Hunger Alleycat

Not much to say except Ken deserves mad props for putting together the whole bike against hunger series... and to everyone else who organized, Pearl, Stewart, Isiah, and whoever else I'm forgetting, thanks you guys for putting together an awesome set of events; every one I went to was a good time. Now, photos:

























And last but not least, a sunset. I've gotten in the habit of shooting these recently. They're cliche sure, but pretty anyway.

friends at the hilo

I'm doing something I've long threatened to do; these are here as a nice tight edit, and there are more over in my flickr. Also, romantic disaster was there, photos and review to come.
