Oh, how I've missed having live music that reminds me of everything meaningful that music can be. From enjoying a set live, to wanting to dust off my old violin- slowly bringing back the finger memory.

Tomorrow... I'm sure I'll play at least a little bit thanks to this amazing show.
This was also my first adventure in concert photo taking- I have plenty of room to grow, but enjoyed myself thoroughly (despite the fact that I still kinda feel crummy). I'm on the way to "well", and that's what matters.

And if you haven't heard St. Vincent- please let me know. I'll be happy to help. :)








Then, of course, Mister Andrew Bird.













Any other photos are on my Flickr.

I was inspired by a book my friend Katie had on her Amazon Wish List. Following the life and art of local Blacksmith, Philip Simmons. He changed the ornamentation of ironwork in this area. So to send along with her book and card- I went downtown to some spots featuring Mr. Simmons' fine work. It was fun, and slightly stressful as the sun was setting far too quickly.






(why yes- that is a gold egret and gold cross found within the iron gate- interesting)
I felt slightly creepy taking this photo, as it actually is a part of the back side of someone's every elaborate carport now. Weird.
