epic karaoke

The highlight of the support meetup this time was easily the karaoke night; the last meetup it was appearently fairly epic, but I slept through it. I was glad that we set it up again; I even sang. A lot of pictures this time. photo of me coutesy the inimitable “@jessicaspacekat”:http://twitter.com/jessicaspacekat, who I handed my camera just before taking the stage. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_karaoke/640/0015.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_karaoke/640/0017.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_karaoke/640/0018.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_karaoke/640/0021.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_karaoke/640/0022.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_karaoke/640/0023.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_karaoke/640/0024.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/epic_karaoke/640/0025.jpg’ /> </div>

arrival/new faces/old friends

I got to SF in the morning, like I always do, and ended up wandering around a bit looking for the wrong café; there are two places in SF called “Justine’s,” one in a hotel, and one at the top of a really big hill. This is SF, where the hills really are fairly huge and daunting. Getting to the wrong one involved, of course, walking up the hill (with luggage) to find that I was in the wrong place. That wasn’t really a big deal though. I made it to the hotel late enough to check in, and did that; met with some of the co-workers for burgers, after which there was considerable drinking. This is just the best team. A bunch of brilliant, hard working dudes. Over the next couple days, I’m going to be doing some changes to the site; nothing huge, just some extra links to a portfolio bit that I’m working on, and an email link. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/arrival/new_faces/old_friends/641/0009.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/arrival/new_faces/old_friends/641/0010.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/arrival/new_faces/old_friends/641/0011.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/arrival/new_faces/old_friends/641/0012.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/arrival/new_faces/old_friends/641/0013.jpg’ /> </div>

going west

Going west involved an airplane. The sun was coming up as the plane was taking off, and since we were going west fairly quickly, golden hour lasted through most of the flight. I got these shooting out the window of the plane; really great light. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/going_west/642/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/going_west/642/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/going_west/642/0006.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/going_west/642/0007.jpg’ /> </div>

a few days at home

Or a week… something like that. Things happened, laundry was done, and then I took off again. I got to say, “I’ll see you in Barcelona.” Then I went west for a bit. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_few_days_at_home/643/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_few_days_at_home/643/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/a_few_days_at_home/643/0003.jpg’ /> </div>

camping (aka the start of the travel season)

I went camping with a bunch of cool folks at the end of September. This was simple car camping, not anything involving crazy hikes with a giant backpack or mountains (as if oklahoma had any). It rained on us all weekend, more or less; there was time to get the tents set up, and a little time for breakfast on saturday, and the rest of the weekend was spent under a tarp or inside our tents. Protip: tents are not sound proof. When I say the travel season, I mean the time when I personally find myself going all over the place for a period of about 6 weeks, biannually. This time, it was Camping, San Fransisco, Barcelona, and in tomorrow, I fly to Denver. As Tim told me, ‘The game been good to me’. <div class=”center”> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camping_(aka_the_start_of_the_travel_season)/644/0001.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camping_(aka_the_start_of_the_travel_season)/644/0002.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camping_(aka_the_start_of_the_travel_season)/644/0003.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camping_(aka_the_start_of_the_travel_season)/644/0004.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camping_(aka_the_start_of_the_travel_season)/644/0005.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camping_(aka_the_start_of_the_travel_season)/644/0006.jpg’ /> <img src=’https://images.matt.pictures/camping_(aka_the_start_of_the_travel_season)/644/0007.jpg’ /> </div>
