The Panic Channel @ the Dragonfly

After work last night I went down to the Dragonfly & caught most of a short acoustic set by The Panic Channel. It was a benefit show & the place was packed. Rather than fight the crowd to get close, I resorted to holding my camera over my head to try & get a few photos. I'll probably trash the rest, but I really like this one of Steve Isaacs.

Saw a few friends there & it was a good time. Tried to go outside for a cigarette after & was stopped by security asking me if I had a wristband. Huh? Then I saw Dave Navarro standing a few feet outside the door. Okay. Security tells me to go around & come outside from the other door. Whatever. Make my way through the club & as I'm nearing the other doorway, there's Dave standing there again. No hassles from security this time. It's a good thing, or I may have had to resort to grabbing the cigarette from Navarro's hand. Don't try & keep a girl separated from her nicotine, dammit!

Ms. X and I wandered down the street afterwards to a little corner bar she had spotted on her way to the Dragonfly & I got her a birthday drink. The place is too cute. Dark booths with fuzzy pillows, a big stage area, large outdoor patio, and friendly patrons & staff. It was karaoke night & although you will NEVER see Ms. X nor I onstage singing, we had a lot of fun watching everyone else.

Found a poor, dirty, abandoned Elmo on the sidewalk & Ms. X gave him a good kick. Poor Elmo.

New Logo

It took me the better part of a day to come up with this (I'm no graphic artist!), but I really like it. This logo will appear on my web photos from now on, in place of the plain font I had been using.

Just For You, Daryle

Yes, I know, I haven't blogged in ages. To be honest I've been having a hard time lately & it's difficult to focus on the positive. As I sit here typing, my jaw aches from clenching it & I've smoked far too many cigarettes today. My stress level is high. I'm angry and frustrated. I really can't say much about this except that it revolves around the music industry and my photographs. The past month has been chock full of battles over copyrights. You have no idea how shitty the music business can be.

On a lighter note, I was an extra in the Panic Channel video for Why Cry, which was shot downtown on June 16th. That was fun. Photo by Gianna C.

Yeah, I have an idea how shitty the music business can be. That's probably why I never got off the ground. I wasn't prepared to be that shitty. Give me a call. Tell me what's going on.
