Los Angeles: The Beginning.

i told my friend last night, “if i don’t wake up in 20 minutes, kill me.”

death is coming my way.
none of the work i needed to finish has been finished. i have a paper due at 5 (haven’t started) and need to get these photos up (haven’t started), so i’ll be tryin’ my best to multitask.

fucking alarm clock.

Gillman, after (successfully?) overcoming pneumonia.

i rented a crazy intense camera from the art & design building at school.
it makes thingz look fun!

the only good part about airports are traveling walkways and cinnabon.
(well, and loudly asking gillman, “did you ever get those tuberculosis test results?” as she coughed her way through a flight)

like dog tags…but not.

dinner, animal style.
(i had better pictures, but they’re missing. if only you could share in our caitlin cooper glory. sorry, folks.)

i once got peed on at the canopy club.
it was while i was in front row at an umphrey’s mcgee show, and the drunk high school kid behind me couldn’t handle himself with all the gatorade and shitty vodka flowing through his veins, and he whipped it out and peed on me.
now, i’m not technically saying that this counts as atmosphere…but it’s a hell of a lot different than the snoozefest crowd at this show.
of montreal was fantastic as always, but you’d never know it by looking at the lifeless crowd.
for the most part, no one bobbed, no one wiggled, no one danced.
it was bright, it was clean, and it was running waaaay ahead of schedule.
three bands hustled in and out in two hours so that a skanky dance party could occur. and though this photo looks fist pump-tastic, it was only the superfans in the front.
moral of the story: canopy is better than other places, of montreal deserved a more energetic audience (because they’re amazing), and i don’t think i like getting urinated on.

obsession.

if i wouldn’t have bought my dream sweater here, you would be able to spot me on the quad cam wearing these babies.
