We’ve got ourselves our first gig!

I’ve written about our band (Phantom Scream Syndrome, formerly Marshburn) a few times here, and now…we’re finally going to play somewhere live! We’ve got our first show at Smart City Grinds in Azusa, California on Thursday, April 27th starting at 7:30pm. We’re supposed to be playing fourth, and I think there’s six bands that night. Tickets are $8, so if you wanted to come and hear us, let me know because we need to sell at least 25. Please come, because we need all the support we can get. Thanks!

(Note: I’m basically duplicating this post.)

Update: If you’re going, please add this event from Upcoming.org, m’kay? Thanks!

Update 2006-04-14: We just got the tickets, and there’s only five bands listed. Also, we’ll be playing 30 minutes total, including setup time. It’s gonna be wicked!

Update 2006-04-24: At the Smart City Grinds website, we’re now listed with all the bands we’ll be playing with. “Channeling Conformity” should be “Channeling Darkness”. See? We’re playing fourth – yes! All of us can be found on Myspace (if you want to hear us before seeing us).

Silas and I were supposed to meet up with other photography classmates for long exposure photos from Cow Canyon Saddle by Mt. Baldy Village1. That didn’t happen. Once we got to the turnout on Glendora Ridge Rd, we just saw a sign and a road leading into an RV park. There wasn’t a mention of Cow Canyon [...]

Bill November 10, 2009

I didn’t ask Bill to pose or smile. I liked his second portrait, but that wasn’t as sharp. Boo me. Reflections of myself and Bill’s dad (upper left) was deliberate. Taken inside his dad’s garage, and hopefully soon to be his recording studio. View on Flickr

A gift of film November 10, 2009

Jon Swanson emailed me last Friday and asked if I wanted any color Fuji 35mm film. He didn’t tell me how many rolls he had in his possession. Most importantly, he didn’t want a dime. I asked him how much he had, but he persisted that I give him a number. I requested eight rolls of 200 film1. [...]

One of my first prints November 5, 2009

I tried to get this scanned print as close to the real thing as possible. I cropped out the white borders since they weren’t clean. I didn’t write down how I exposed this in the enlarger – shame on me, I guess. Lastly, since this was our first assignment, our teacher hadn’t shown us contrast filters [...]
