We Went!

Pat and I risked the rain and had a delightful morning at the farmers' market at Bishop Park. Saw many friends. Bought many veggies. Had some delicious Ethiopian coffee from 1000 faces coffee. Soaked up the sounds of Sean Arington and Mike Eudy. I've posted images from our trip on my SmugMug site.

I snapped some shots of the reunion performance. You can check out all of them on my SmugMug site in the music section. I've posted one that I especially like on my photography page.

What's New

Over at my jazz site, I've added some local gigs the calendar. And I've posted a shot over at my skate pix site of Tristan coming oh-so-close to grinding the bricks. Ian's at a training session to be a junior counselor at camp. The two of us had our teeth cleaned today. So we're minty fresh and a bit lighter in the wallet :)

Ciné Jam Photos

Check out my images from yesterday evening's weekly jam session at Ciné, featuring house band Sonny Got Blue.
