More Dunks Stuffed
-- Tuesday, March 27, 2007
I received 2 more pairs of Nike Dunks to stuff. Not sure why I procrastinated so long in getting the work done, but I did. Thankfully, the final product looks great. Hopefully, the customer thinks they were worth the wait too. Judge for yourself.
March 5th, 2007: Bane, Verse, Ambitions, I Rise, Soul Control @ The QVCC
-- Wednesday, March 21, 2007
Doors were at 6pm. The show was supposed to start at 6:30. Here's the crowd being a little restless because the show didn't start until 7:30. This was courtesy of Bane jack knifing the van at the end of Pete's driveway and holding up the backline.
First up was Soul Control. Jim C, Matt Dude and dudes. Real dudes. Good band. Great set.
Before I Rise hit the stage, I decided it was a good time to play with various settings on my camera. After all, if I'm going to get any better, I should probably know what all the little buttons and doo hickeys do.
Black and white.
More black and white.
This time in color.
This time real blurry.
Hey, still blurry.
I Rise had a great set. Kids were moshing, Pauley Edge was singing along, the home town scene was super supportive. Also nice to see Nicky X'd up. You almost wouldn't know he was straight edge based on his hair. HA!
Ambitions was up next. Same reaction as the night before basically, and pretty much the same set. This time, no Misfits cover though.
Verse hit the stage next. The guitarist had a blow out in his pants, but that didn't stop him from rocking out. It didn't even phase Sean.
Drafty
Bane rounded out the night nicely. The crowd was super young, but a lot of the older songs still got a great reaction. Possibly one of the smallest turn outs I've seen for Bane in Worcester since 98. This didn't stop Bane from having a blast. And it definitely didn't stop the kids from having a blast.
At one point, Raio stole my camera and started taking random pics. I think he does this with every camera he can find. Also, Amanda P felt the urge to do the same thing. She however wanted to take pics of muffin tops and beards. Most of those pics came out super blurry so they got the ax. Here's what made the cut.

Tour tradition. Stevie would have captured it better.
Bane, The Geeks, Down To Nothing, Ambitions, ... @ The El N Gee 03/04/2007
-- Tuesday, March 20, 2007
Way back on March 4th, after the Celtics game, I grabbed Bedard and we headed to New London, CT. The Geeks, Ambitions, Down To Nothing, Bane and a few other bands. Here's the crowd at various points through out the night. It was a little weird. It seemed real empty, but finally during Ambitions and Bane, it really filled in.
Fuzzy
Deep thinking
Upping the Artsy Fartsy scale
More Arty
Super Arty
First up was Down To Nothing. Literally, someone else played before them, but I missed them. Down To Nothing rips. Dave is a pos man through and through.
Then The Geeks hit the stage. The Geeks ripped too. Ki was dropping knowledge on people, and the residents of CT were appreciative. For a dude who isn't a native English speaker, he still did a great job of saying insightful ideas. Some deep philosophical shit too. Ki was also front and center singing along to every band. He is probably the Korean Pat Flynn.
After The Geeks, another band played. They talked shit on Bane merch.
Here's the Bane Merch that was worthy of shit talk
No pics of that band. But they did smash a cake over someone's head and made a super slippery mess on stage. Here's Stevie working his super roady skills.
Next up was Ambitions. CT is lucky they have such an awesome band. And the new songs are starting to grow on me. THE ILLUSION!!!
Wrapping up the night was Bane. They set it off correctly, and the crowd was into it. Overall, great set. Good mix of old and new.
Best Pic I Took All Night
Here are some goofy/ chill shots. Enjoy.

Great night, great dudes, chill venue. Good times.

Needed a Pic For Decibel Magazine
-- Sunday, March 18, 2007
The other day, I was interviewed for Decibel Magazine. Check your newstands. I think I'm part of the April article. Anyway, I needed a pic to go along with my portion of the interview. I asked a few dudes for some 300 DPI pics, specifically, Dan Future-Breed and Illissa, but no luck. No reply from Dan, and Melissa said I was pulling a mosh retirement the day she was around with her camera. Unlikely. That's what I said.
So Briggs and I took on the job. Now remember, I'm no Dobek. My picture taking skills aren't so pro. So we hit the streets. We started here.
Briggs was checking out a squirrel
Then we hit the streets for our afternoon walk. I was racking my brains on a good pic when I pulled this one.
Getting closer. I then realized something was missing. ME! So I went for this shot.
Better, better, but something still seemed lacking. Then I hit this pic and felt good.
It was a good thing I pulled that last pic because around the next corner, we ran into IAMON. And he doesn't mess around.
That's it. I sent the pic to Decibel. We'll see how it goes. I might need to resubmit something that works better. We'll see. Dan, if you are reading this, hit me up. Peace.
PG Rated Bachelor Party
-- Saturday, March 17, 2007
2 weeks back, I went to the New Garden for a PG rated bachelor party. It was so family friendly that the bachelor's dad was there. It was nice. A good game. The C's won in double overtime. But I did have to sit next to a guy wearing a Timberwolves jersey. Yuck. Here are some ridiculous pics.
You may recognize those blurry C's
I got props on these sneakers
Here are some dudes chilling in the crowd
And finally, here I am FAPE spotting. Artsy too.
Overall, good times. I'd do it again.

Keep practicing, son.

I know I'll never be Ansel Adams, but I'm working on taking & framing better pictures. I'll probably post up some random shots from here on out, so get ready for something a little different.
I am just trying to keep up with the Dobeks. You know?

Bane in Nashua NH, March 03, 2007
-- Monday, March 05, 2007
Tons of great memories from this show, and thanks to Future-breed.com, there were plenty of pics taken. Nicolette would agree that my splash of color made sifting through all of his pics an easy one for the mission of spotting me. Here's what I found. Ps. I didn't include the pics with just an arm, or a sliver of my hood.
What's so confusing here? Probably Pete's hair.
Unfortunately, there are no pics of my one stage dive that ended up with the side of my foot striking dude's face.

- Thanks for enjoying my pics and posting them! I actually just spent an hour or so sifting through the reviews on this site and finding new bands to check out, so it was a weird coincidence to see my photos right after that.
