old shoeboxes…
my niece kaitlin at age 1
i love it when i find old stuff i’ve forgotten about…especially film. after the move, i went through all my old camera equipment and came across 4 or 5 rolls of film that were undeveloped. a couple of them were nothing spectacular, and one is still being processed (they said it will take about a week or so). but this one just made me smile. these shots were taken with my Canon AE1 - it was my dad’s and i still love using it. i think some of my best shots ever were taken with this camera.
these were taken with black and white fuji film and are about 2 years old - pretty sure around thanksgiving to christmas of 2005.

happening in dallas this weekend
alrighty, another fun-filled weekend coming up! tonight i’m headed to the richardson wildflower! arts & music festival to see pat benatar play. since i’m tagging along with some girlfriends, i didn’t know much about the fest until i looked it up - there are some really good bands playing out there! tonight’s lineup is loverboy, eve 6, le freak, pat benatar and then everclear - blast from the past much?! but then tomorrow is america, blue oyster cult and the guess who! too bad i can’t make it for that night, but someone should go and tell me how it is!
tomorrow i’m headed to ikea to round up the rest of my baskets for the closet. saturday night i’m going to my first ever roller derby! the assassination city roller derby girls are playing against arkansas and i’ll be there to support them in their bout. the after parties i hear are pretty fun and are usually held at lee harvey’s so come on up! go to their site for more info on tickets, bouts, and parties. this should definitely be a good time! also on saturday night, kyle caldwell and the astonishing wonder featuring the kick-back kid are playing at alexandre’s starting at 10 pm. they are a riot and you will definitely have a good time. but if you’re not into that, tulsa local band congress of a crow is playing at the lakewood bar and grill.
sunday funday!! radiohead!! yes, it’s finally here, and i’ll be heading to the superpages.com center to enjoy the show (seriously, that name is so lame, i’ll still call it the smirnoff for a while). tickets sold out almost immediately, so if you wanted to go and you didn’t get tix in time, call me….and i’ll give you a rundown of how awesome the show is! oh that’s mean, but really, i’m sure there will be lots of scalpers out there. i’ll have pics and all that good stuff next week.
hope you all have a good weekend and maybe i’ll see you around town!
