there will be a lot of posts coming up.  i know you are excited.  i am.  i spent some time with my father out in AZ, then hit up the WPPI photography convention in las vegas.  they convinced me to use twitter more.  from there, i photographed amadeus (drummer, producer, best friend - lol) at the jay-z/trey songz/young jeezy show the td garden.  the dropkicks played a matinee show on saturday afternoon at the house of blues.  it poured for three+ days straight and i spent most of the weekend helping my parents pump water out of their basement.  had a deep conversation with my (step) father about life/death.  well, he did most of the talking.  he usually does.  stupid cancer.  sunday night was the alice in chains show at the orpheum - and i stayed JUST to hear 'man in a box'.  i am waiting on their management to approve the review/photos.  divas!  phew.  whirlwind.  oh!  i broke down and purchased final fantasy xiii for xbox.  it's still in the wrapper.  i don't know if i'll ever have time to sit and play the game.  but at least it's here.  i've only been waiting.....six years!

i took ONE blurry/terrible photograph of jay-z last thursday night before being yanked from the pit by security.  smh.  more on that later....
