Can they do it?
So I am not a Yankees fan and was glad to see the Red Sox come back to beat them, and while I may be a National League fan in general (the Giants being my favorite of course), I have to pull for the BoSox out of sentimentality and knowing that it'll make the Yankees pain increase.
Of course pain reminds me of creative inspiration after talking to Bim today about the book he was reading. I still have this twisted desire to have my heart broken to gain the rush of emotions necessary for more emotive creativity. Of course by virtue of wanting it, I am already lost... oh well...

Am I an American Elf?
I walked into a comic shop on my way back from a shoot and picked up an issue of Flaming Carrott and also James Kochalka's American Elf. I liked that the book was a journal of five years of daily cartoons that he drew kind of like the 31 project I did a while back. Knowing how painful that kind of project could be, I picked it up with interest and liked some of the strips I read.
Here's one that I can totally identify with that seems to sum up my life in certain ways...

Faked Heart Attack?!
Let's see if it happens - I doubt it now that it's leaked though...

Castles, Caves and art
Got invited to a party for Big Magazine on Saturday night that was at the Albion Castle in the Bayview District which makes for an enjoyable Muni ride. Once I got there the place was totally fresh and really amazing. Two underground caves with fresh spring water flowing, about three different levels, and a solid vibe and cool photography. A pleasant surprise for sure...

ouch...
At every show I go to I like to find new talent to showcase and at the GNC Show of Strength, finally met up with someone I had been talking to for a while who I had a chance to shoot with and also try some new stuff with.
Also tried to introduce her to as many people as possible to help promote her but you can probably see that she's already got what it takes. Working with women like Melissa is always a pleasure and makes the long contest weekends even more memorable.

Chick-fil-A
So I was thwarted in my attempt to eat Chic-fil-A in Denver. I saw a sign on Sunday for a Chick-fil-A near my hotel and planned on eating there on Monday since they are closed on Sundays. I love Chick-fil-A and it's my favorite fast food fried chicken (albeit not traditional fried chicken - that award goes to Popeye's). So since I'll be in Atlanta, I am looking forward to some Chick-fil-A and as I sit here on my flight into ATL with my stomach growling and about to descend, it's the #1 thing on my mind. Sad in some ways, but the rest of this weekend will be a blur of work so I need to take this one minor pleasure. Not that I won't enjoy covering the Show of Strength and catching up with a few friends...
Of course, this is what I ate instead.

Juxtapozed Living
Finished watching 24 Hour Party People with Kora which was a flick on my old 'to see' list that fell off it more for the reason that I don't keep it on paper anymore than any other reason.
Having visited Manchester just to experience it, it was nice to get a little backstory on Factory Records, the Hacienda, etc.
Made me think about the juxtapozed lifestyle I lead being in one city then another and as in the case of this week for myself, three in three different time zones. Within less than a 12-hour period in Denver, I experienced photographing...
