the weekend
went up to dallas for the weekend. eileen got married on friday and the wedding was quite fun. dancing till 1 in the morning! did some engagement pics for ck and joey on sat which was a lot of fun. sat nite went to a show where my friends ryan parker and kendal haug were playing. got to see lots of friends and overall had a great time. last nite went to a john mayer show in san antonio which was really great. busy weekend but worth every second!
and this is the cause of that pain. i got a bike 2 days ago!! im super excited about it and have already taken it out for 2 long rides. it looks like this guy here. and of course i got it off craigslist for a steal. what's even more exciting is that i have my website on the bottom of all my outgoing emails so the guy i bought it from checked it out. he said his wife has been wanting to get some pics of their kids so we chatted a while about things, i gave him a card, and hopefully he'll call and set that up. gotta love craigslist.
so back to my new wonderful bike. i just love it. ive been wanting a bike since i came back to austin, oh, 2.5 years ago, and finally got one. i have a tendency to lose control at times but have only flown off it once so far. ive gotten close a handful of times however. great fun. hopefully with some more time and practice ill get much better at handling him. so far he's seen my neighborhood, town lake, lamar st, target, and bluebonnet ave.
OH. my favorite summer show, so you think you can dance, started a few weeks ago and i really encourage you to watch if you haven't before. it's really absolutely amazing how good these dancers are and you will be blown away at what they do each week. right now it's on wednesdays AND thursdays and i still can't get enough. love it, love it, love it.
im unemployed yet dont seem to have enough hours in each day. im not quite sure how that happens. life is good though.
this past weekend i put in about 900 miles or so on my car from friday - sunday. i was the official golf photographer for the 98th annual texas amateur golf tourney in trinity texas. i happen to know the right people and was asked if i would be interested so of course i said yes despite knowing anything about what a golf photographer would actually do. it ended up being really fun and im hopefully going to help them out in some future tournaments. i got to drive around in a golf cart all day and basically do whatever the heck i wanted. i learned a lot about golf and decided that i will never have the patience to be able to play the game. the main benefit was of course making money which is quite important when youre unemployed.
got put up in a hotel friday nite in huntsville bc trinity is so podunk they dont even have hotels yeah. oh and did i say hotel? i mean motel and it was super shady and i really thought i was possibly going to die there. that was neat.
i came back sat nite for a patty griffin show in austin which was great. shes just amazing live and played a bunch of stuff from her album that just came out. the only downfall to going to the show was all the extra driving back and forth and lack of sleep. by the end of the weekend i was running on caffeine and was feeling quite delirious.
thats the latest on that. not much else going on. im in the process of trying to get a bike off craigslist and might just have a contender. pretty excited about that. the last time i had a bike i was in college station and had gotten a steal on one at a garage sale for $20. wait no, not a steal. i got exactly what i paid for. i had to put wd40 on the brakes each morning otherwise they squealed and squawked something awful. thus, it received the nickname of 'the goose.' and yes, the wd40 did slow down the braking process. i had near accidents on a daily basis. oh the memories...
