what? 300 posts!

Yeah, I'm as shocked as you are. Some of those are drafts that were never published, but still... a year and a half and three hundred posts later, we're still here. Wow. This one sort of snuck up me. It seems like just a couple weeks ago I had the 250th post. But no. Anyway, some random photos before we get to fair stuff and bike race later today.

I don't have enough superlatives for the meal I had at Musashi's last thursday. The show was fun, but the kobe beef there is tied for the best steak I've ever had. The fried rice was also really good. I like places that pay attention to their staples.

Yeah, ooh, pretty fire. Thanks to Lori for letting me show her a good time.

Completely unrelated: Justin and Miranda.


Little creepy there Justin. (photo by @maeghan).



This picture is really kinda weird. Hipshot and unintentional.

This is weirder. Tim pole dancing.

state fair photos

So I went to the fair saturday night.... insanity. The only time I see this many people in one place is when I'm not in oklahoma. But a fun time too, I got my annual fair lemonade and saw the slap chop guy (look at my twitpic, I'm too lazy to repost that one). By the way, can you tell I love my new wide angle way too much?























Katie, Erin, and some other people I only half know on the Fireball ride.

Also, Tommy and Deepak.

Ok, back to room cleaning.

Opolis show

Went down to norman with Chelsea (and now she has a twitter so I can link that: @thenakedsun) and took photos of the band "Deer People" (or is that "The Deer People"?) and anyway, hated the photos when I first looked, but really these aren't that bad. There's a second band down there, Mayola, they were good too. Louder and more energetic, but a lot simpler musically. I liked both.

On the way to Norman.

Oh yeah, there were random firedancers.

And then the sky opened up. And it rained a lot.

Like, really a lot, even for a place where the rain has been going for two weeks.

And then there were the bands. I was there covering Deer People, so naturally I have a lot of pictures of them. Here:

































Saw this between bands backstage.

Then Mayola rocked out a short set... I don't know about you, but sometimes really high energy three-chord rock is what the doctor ordered. And their bassist is a badass.

just some pics...
