last nite connolly, olarn & i went to see the ocean blue at the double door. it was a really great show. i'd never seen them live before (probably because they haven't been really touring much lately), but connolly has seen them twice prior to last nite's show, and he was really excited when i told him they were coming to town. i even met a guy at the show who drove all the way from cincinnati (!!!) to see them in concert! frankly, i didn't even know what the band members looked like before the show--i just really like their music. i'm glad they're still together and making music.

i really liked taking photos at the double door. i found my little hiding place near the front of the stage so that i wasn't too conspicuous as i was shooting my photos. and it always helps to have the wall behind you to hold you up when you're footing is not so steady (i don't normally walk straight anyways and it just gets worse with alcohol and the passage of the night).

i took probably over 200 pictures last night, but it's going to take me a while to sort through them before i can post the decent ones on my website. and i have another concert i'm shooting tonight (clem snide w/ stickman jones & somebody else) so i'll be pretty busy i imagine, and most of my free time is being spent at the hospital with my dad, so i don't get much of a chance to do stuff online. hopefully he'll be home in a week or so, and that'll make things a lot easier on my mum & my bro who'll be the primary care givers as he recuperates.
