We travel different roads...

Holding hands for peace and all that. This studio is on a farm.


Some new friends




Laying down some bass.



Laying down of guns.



David is a silly boy.




Michael sings... Sing Sing Sing...

The Blankest Year

Braindead.

Like a crushed peice of toast...

Well, these aren't the most amazing photos you'll ever see. I just snapped all these with a friends snapshot camera. At least it's a record of what's going on. I don't think I'm going to caption all these as we're at a studio working on musics. Anyway. these are mostly all pictures taken at the studio we're using on a farm near ann arbor michigan.

Emergency Circut

"Life is a series of disappointment and sacrifices with the occasional amazing experience that almost makes up for the rest of the time." This is what James (drummer) said today. This may or may not be true and surely varries from one life to another. I can't say that it's for sure all that grim, but I will say that it seems as though you have to make sacrifices all your life. To have something, you have to give up something. Over and over and over again. I suppose there are some people without ambition that simply float down stream and don't ever feel like they have to choose between two or more things. I am not one of those people. My whole life, I've been faced with these kinds of conflict of the mind. Idealisticly, I like to think that I have do whatever I want and build whatever I want in my life. This is true in a sense, but when I comes right down to it, there are always to opposing wishes.
People are forgiving by nature. Yes, there will be times when you might think that you've been completely written off by someone. There will be times when you think you have had so much of someone you couldn't bear to speak to them again, but over time wounds heal and everything will be stronger and better than it was before. I've seen the most hopeless situations turn themselves around. Generally it takes years. That's ok. You've got years, unless you don't have years...it which case everyone else can fuck off.
We are attracted to bars and restaurants. (I'm not attracted to bars, but that's a whole other topic. When I say "we" I mean it in a very general sense, as in "we: Humans") Why? Because of the food? For the drinks? No. People. We like to be around people. We'd like to find the love of our lives or our next close friend amoung those people. Nobody gives a crap about product, and that's alright. You're a human...Wild, huh?

Your legs grow.

Remember that one time when I slept for 14 hours? That was last night...and part of today.
Well, I feel the world around me changing. It is. I see changes in my friends lives. People moving to and fro. More fro than to. That's a little bit of a downer but I know that the bonds I've made with friends will last forever, no matter where they are. I have resolved to seek out the people who matter in my life. Erin, Trey, Fernando...these are a few who will no longer be in nashville with me.
In other news, I think I'm going to go see V for Vendetta tonight. The End.

Another Tour Enocumentary!

Here are some pictures I've taken over the last 6 weeks which included a tour with the band Mae. They're not really in the proper order, but might come close...or not.
Kicking around Canton, OH there's not a lot to photograph.




This is Lovedrug, for the time being. From left to right, Dave (Guitar) James (Drums) Michael (Keys, Guitar, Vox) I'm been hanging with these fellas for the last month and a half. Super nice guys.



Here is the practice space. I showed up here five days before we went out on tour. Never having played Lovedrugs music, is was quite and undertaking to learn 11 songs in those few days.

4 shows into the tour, we found ourselves playing for a sold out audience of 3000 at biola college in CA. That was and experience and a half.
This is a picture of the crowd. It was really neat.



Somewhere on our drive out west. This is Michael, the singer.


Stage monitor console for our first California show. This is a local band.


The light just straight up looks different in California.


Kids.



Hey, people actually live here. I will.


There are big spaces.


Stoping to take it in.



There are freaking huge rocks in the earth! Note the car in the bottom left hand corner.


Something abour this scene behind a walmart somewhere out west was reall neat.


In and Out burger. It's one of those things you hear about but I hadn't experienced until a few weeks ago...the verdict? I dunno, I hamburger is a hamburger, yeah?


Wierd over-exposed shot.


Have you seen magic?


Dave glowing. In a sub shop in Las Vegas.


Somwhere, We decided we should pose with an old wagon.



Yours truely.


Drummer boy.




There are more big spaces.


There's Mae playing in a jillians in Las vegas.





Michael doing a phone interview.





Honestly pictures like this don't really get me off, but some people like them.



Wondered at all what we tool around in? there it is. Covered in salt from the roads.


HOlland, MI. By far the coolest venue we played on this tour. Here are some cool shots of Mae playing. My camera was frozen and the fog on the lens ended up doing some cool stuff here.






Beautiful Stained glass in the background there.


Mae playing in Columbia, MO.


Weird-ass angle from the balcony.


Merch on parade.


Zack from Mae


There's something nice about this picture. It also doesn't belong here.


Sunglass mania!


People trickle into a michigan show.


Well, I guess the LA hotel that we were in was next to a wig shop.



Thanks for Looking! I love you.
