My
good friend from college, Jim, came into town today to celebrate
his birthday. I hadn't done a good job organizing things, and a
few folks were out of town this weekend. It ended up just being
me and Jim, which was actually great since I can't recall the last
time the two of us just hung out.
I got
comp tickets to Q101's Block Party, a two-day concert event going
on this weekend. Tonight's lineup was Ben Kweller, Flaming Lips
and Violent Femmes. Here's a quick shot of the crowd, as we arrived.
The day was pretty crappy and threatened rain, but luckily things
remained fairly dry.
Right
before this, we ran into Liz and Steph (and Mandy, I think). I felt
bad that we didn't stop to talk, but I wanted to try to make our
way over to the show. I owe the girls a call, since I've got a copy
of Spirited
Away with their names on it.

Balloon!

The
Flaming Lips. I had a hard time getting a decent shot of them.
|
|
 |
Anyone
ever see "The Prisoner?"
|
|
 |
Yeah,
me neither. I just know the reference.
|
|
 |
More
Flaming Lips.
|
|
 |
Finally!
A decent one. :)

 |
Wow.
I really wonder what kind of fun was had last night. This person
was dead asleep right smack in the middle of the crowd. Pretty impressive.

A shot
of Jim, adjusting the spectacles. The whole night, we kept talking
back and forth during the concert - and it really felt like stepping
back a few years. We chatted about the path our lives have taken,
movies, what keeps us passionate and motivated. Marriage, kids,
you name it.
I was
getting pretty sloppy drunk at this point. No dinner, and three
beers into the evening. Whooo-hooo!

Even
when I'm not working, I'm in work mode. I saw this shot and thought
"Gee, I bet they'd like that to use on their web page."
God
help me.

A few
colorful folks who, I'm guessing, were part of the show earlier.
|
|
 |
Some
other nice folks who didn't mind my picture-taking.

A view
of the skyline from where Jim's car was parked. After this, we headed
back to my place, got some beer, and played GameCube for an hour
or so.
Beer
and video games. It's like ten years went by, and nothing's changed.
