a blog in three images.

My friends Jeff and Becca (top) are playing at the Stork Club (center), and there are a lot of good reasons why it will probably be more fun than what you were planning to do tomorrow night(last).

come on out!

I went to

Tahoe.

Everly schmeverly.

One of my favorite things of all time are covers. I am of the opinion that there can never be too many versions of an awesome song.

My best friend made me a mix cd with a lot of oldies on it and it included that 'Dream' song by the Everly Brothers. I totally forgot how nice that song feels in my ears! And I thought the only thing that would make it supremely badass is a ukulele--
so I did a cover;

Jessica Caisse – All I Have To Do
(i think you just click on the song name.)


ALSO! Tomorrow is the opening for an awesome looking photo show in the city which I cannot make it to- which is uber lame. It's featuring my friend Sean McFarland- who also used to be my photo teacher. He makes really really beautiful images--
The show is at the Marx & Zavattero Gallery on 77 Geary St. Click that-a link for my info, yo'.

Rearview mirrors are awesome

If you're farsighted/ a slow reader/ hungover from pre-fourth of July festivities (lush.), skip the text and just go straight to the tritych at the end. That basically sums it up.

For the rest of you;

You know how when you're biking really fast down a street with parked cars on one side and rush hour traffic on the other, and you think to yourself, 'man. How much would it suck if someone just opened their car door in front of me right now and I went flying over my handlebars into the middle of the road and messed up my leg and ended up lying there in the street surrounded by receipts and tampons from my overturned purse?'.
probably not. I wouldnt know anything about that.
Until Thursday.

I actually got pretty lucky- when i realized what had happened I managed to sit up and get myself on the the sidewalk, and these three 5 or 6 year old kids were standing there looking freaked out.
One of them asked 'What happened??'
I was still sort of stunned, I said I fell off my bike.
The kid said 'Did you get hurt?'
I said I think I hurt my leg and sat back a little too look at it and there was a lot of scrapes and some blood so the kids all went 'Woooa!! Eeeeeew!'
I think one of them asked if I was okay which was cute. This woman had just come out of yoga or something and said she was a doctor and check me out to make sure i didnt break anything. The guy that hit me seemed way more freaked out than I was. He got my things and my bike out of the road and was really apologetic and obviously felt awful.
No worries, man. Karma thinks I had it coming.

DRAMA!
I'm fine. More than fine. I look seriously badass with all my badges of PAIN. I also got a chance to drive around inland and shoot some nice landscapes this weekend.

I managed to sum up the events with this lovely triptych:
