Never, ever a bad show from these guys, and sometimes a tremendous one, like last night. A few more shots behind the jump, and the rest of the set is here. I’ve been frustrated with my shooting lately — the last month or so — and am finding that I’m harder on myself than I…

the love language @ local 506
the love language @ local 506, originally uploaded by minervacat. My reactions to local-to-me bands blowing up nationally is usually mixed; depends on the band, depends on the tenor and type of press.

hot dogs i have known and loved
I get my love of hot dogs from my mother. (Hi, Mama!) As long as I’ve known her (which is a long time), she’s eaten them with chili (preferably Paterson’s, from a can), cole slaw and mustard, and as I have gotten older, I’m starting to find that’s how I prefer them as well. Never…

american aquarium cd release party @ the pour house, originally uploaded by minervacat. It wouldn’t be springtime if there wasn’t an American Aquarium CD release party at the Pour House. Some year there won’t be one, and I’ll be confused and weirded out all year by the absence. But this year there is one, and…
