well, at lest we went to the rooster and had a pitcher and it was friday. the rest needs work still, including my bike, which I need to get done before tonight, which is going to be madness itself. And then there was a house party, oh yeah. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/booze_cruise:_the_return?/1075/0013.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” >See how much fun the guys are having?

before all the madness that is about to rain down on us, let’s pause and just relax and have a mimosa: <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/mimosa_break/1073/mimosabreak.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />

I’m not going to bore you, my more general audience, with event photos of Open Beta. The fun stuff, as always, was at the afterparty. Some people might notice curious black spots in a couple of the photos; this is where that someone has been removed from the background. This person has especially delicate privacy issues (read: other journalists might be interested in harming him and his, and that’s not what these photos are for), and I have to respect that. Odd social circles I find myself travelling in these days. Anyway, the photos:<br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0006.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0007.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0008.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0009.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0010.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0011.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0012.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0013.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0014.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0015.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0016.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0017.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0018.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0019.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/open_beta_after_party/1076/0020.jpg” alt=”Photos” />

now, you’d think that with everything going to hell in a handbasket, you expect to see flea markets like this:<br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/the_state_of_the_economy:_flea_markets/1077/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br />but then we went to another, and it was better:<br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/the_state_of_the_economy:_flea_markets/1077/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><br />Win some, lose some. This has been a moment of zen between moments of madness, brought to you by Matt’s moments of Zen.

I last posted, and these photos aren’t what everybody is waiting on, but hey, all the selects are made, now all I have to do is go through and color balance and adjust some exposure, and everything will be wonderful. Meantime, here are these, which have been sitting on my hard drive for a week, waiting for me to have a working display again. There’s a long saga involved, but I really don’t feel like going into my broken laptop problems. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0006.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0007.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0008.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0009.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0010.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0011.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0012.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0013.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0014.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0015.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0016.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0017.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0018.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0019.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0020.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0021.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0022.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img src=”https://images.matt.pictures/it’s_been_days_since…./1079/0024.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br />
