Sometime over the next couple of weeks, I will organize these shots, clean them up a bit, toss out the blurry shots and shots of complete and utter blackness. For now, you get to enjoy my mistakes for the bandwidth wastes that they are. I also need to add some captions so that you can figure out who is who and such.
For your viewing convenience, I've at least separated the pictures into a variety of pages. There is the utter and complete full page of pictures, about four and a half megs in one sitting, or the six pages representing each time I copied the files off my camera.
Page one is the initial friday night that the bash kicked off. I pulled the camera out at some point that evening, and flashed it in the face of many a disgruntled MOOer. See Drone make a funny face. See Dinh laugh. See zeek turn away. See goya light the fire. See Serena and Roach. See Simon smoke.
Page two contains a bunch of poor crappy shots. After getting a whole ton of evil looks the night before for using the flash, I decided to go without the flash. After all, the restaurant had plenty of lighting, right? Right? See the horrible results. See tress and Tammy smile. Gaze at Ymir as he stares into the water. Watch ix hide. See Ross tell that waitress that they DO sell whole pies, goddammit. After that, there's a couple of shots in the light. Ed and Ross, a couple shots of Danika, etc.
Page three documents our visit to the mall. Tresspassor struts his stuff. ix withdraws cash. Ymir, Tammy, and ix stare at Roach's palm. Kingfox (me) yells at the camera. Then, back at goya's, we get to see the Madison, WI crew. Bullseye and Darius are there, drinking, and have brought Snapple and palmer along. Sabyt even stops by for a visit.
Page four is.... how do I put this? Page four is not worth your time, except for the last two pictures. We went out to Yesterday's, the bar that tons of LAXers have told me I needed to go to over the past couple of years. Great place. Once more, not having learned the lesson from the crappy restaurant shots, Kingfox goes without the flash. It is one thing to blind MOOers in the face. But not random bar patrons. But the last two shots are worthy. Watch Snapple snicker at a drunken Darius, as tresspassor consumes his vegetable free sandwich. Then see Bullseye and Darius slumped in front of the bar, defeated soldiers.
Page five is actually worth seeing. Bungle shows up for a brief visit with a couple of friends. Bull gives me the finger. Dinh's girlfriend watches him make gestures. Drone gets ready for his close-up. Darius gives me the finger. Fat Jesus gives me the finger. Palmer and Snapple play dead. goya and Drone ponder man's place in an infinite universe. Car chase ensues, Drone gets pissed as Roach rides his ass.
Page six can only be described as a big honkin' waste of time as well. Got a few exterior shots of Yesterday's, including the WLI scribble and Drunk Up graffiti. Then I took a bunch of shots while driving from Wisconsin straight to New Jersey without switching drivers. There was a gorgeous red crescent moon in the sky, and I had to take a picture. Too bad I missed it every time in my quest to stay on the road.
Finally I've managed to Bull/Dar to scan the pictures they took
and send them to me. You can see them here.
