Caught Abbey Rode at FBI Rock Club #2 Last Night

// August 13th, 2006 // View Comments // Uncategorized

If you don’t have a good time at an Abbey Rode show, something is wrong with you. Abbey Rode is becoming as much known for their audience participation as they are for their spot-on performance of Beatles tunes.
If you haven’t checked them out yet, you’re missing out on a great time. Grab a gaggle of friends the next time they play and come on out for a good time. Bring your bubbles!

Better late than never?

Well here’s one from the whoopsie! file. I was going through photo directories so that I could do some archving, and came across shots of Jailbreak from a gig in April that had never even been processed.

So here they are. Now I’m off to look for more lost goodies.

Powerload at The Concert Pub

// July 17th, 2006 // View Comments // Uncategorized

Jay, Cindy and I went to The Concert Pub on Saturday night and saw Powerload, an AC/DC tribute band. They were very good, and I took a few shots.

We only stayed for half of their set because my allergies were killing me, but we were there long enough to see Gordon, and his son who had just returned from Iraq. Powerload honored his service to our country by bringing him up to the stage to do shots. The crowd gave the soldier a rousing ovation, and I’m sure there were many people thoughout the night thanking him for his service. I’m sure Gordon, himself a career soldier, must have been proud. I know I was!

Whoa, Nelly! Lots to tell, too little time. But I’ll try.

We had a great time in Chattanooga and even managed to find a Steak ‘n Shake while we were there! (Hey, we’re malt connoisseurs, what did you expect?) My family was great, and my cousin Darryl makes the best BBQ you have ever had. Simply sinful! We visted Ruby Falls, and Rock City. I took bunches of photos – too many in fact – and I’ve started putting some of them up tonight.
Now that we’re back, I’ve started looking for exactly the right job. I seem to be the kiss of death (or fortune, really) to all of the companies I’ve worked for. They’re always acquired! Of course, although this is fortunate for the respective owners, it does put a bit of a crimp in my style. I like to call this an example of doing my job too well. Ah, well, such is the risk when you specialize in small-to-mid-sized companies.

I’m still doing freelance work on the side until I find THE job – I do have to keep myself in camera lenses and CF cards, after all. I’m currently working on another band site, and a site for a general contractor in Louisiana. I’ve seen this GC’s trim work, and he’s truly an artist. I’m looking forward to helping him showcase his masterpieces.

I have a couple of promising leads on the job front, however, and I’m really looking forward to going back to work full-time (or 3/4 time.) I am hoping to get in with a business that will need as much of my diverse skill set as possible. (Design, photography, copywriting, etc.) I am ready!
