booze cruise: the return

So last night was the first booze cruise I’ve been to in months… between time off the bike and booze cruise itself kind of dying out, it just hasn’t happened. I don’t know about anybody else, but a week doesn’t seem complete without riding my bike around on a friday night and getting smashed. So I did. Unfortunately, the night was ruined at the end, the second or third stolen purse at blue note. Sucks. The photos weren’t all that great, I wasn’t really focused, but as always, there are a few cool things. Anyway, next up is a post from barcamp okc, which is going on right now.<br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Casey at rooster.</span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/booze_cruise:_the_return/1140/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Faye terrorizing Ken.</span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/booze_cruise:_the_return/1140/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” >Faye and M__, who’s name I should remember, but I don’t.

starbux is giving away pastries

And I’m not drawn in by their evil conspiracy. It’s taken years, but now they’re finally making a move. Wake up, Sheeple! <br /><br />(At least one person reading this will get the joke. The rest of you, don’t worry, I’m not any more unhinged than I ever was).<br /><br />I’m writing this from my restored and much loved macbook. Friday night, before I went out to shoot these pictures, I was leaning over my desk to grab my bike off of the wall, and I knocked over a 16oz cup of coffee right into the computer. I knew there was nothing I could really do then; the best thing to do is let it dry first. So I did, I went off to the party, had a good time, (moar hellkats=more good times), and rode home. <br /><br />Next day, I tried to restart it, no dice, so I opened it up and there was a ton of gunk on everything, of course. Coffee+2.5yrs of dust, pretty much. Disheartened, I gave up and went to Mcnellies to be attacked by the photographer from lookatOKC. No, I don’t want my picture taken. No, I won’t sign a release. Go talk to the wedding party. It’s my own fault for wearing my houndstooth fedora; that thing draws attention like whoa. <br /><br />Paperazzi deflected (yeah, I’m aware of the irony, but at least I know the people I take pictures of), I went home, and little elves hadn’t come in and fixed my laptop, so the next day (sunday), I started dousing it with alcohol, and then I had the bright idea to get out a toothbrush and scrub away the crud. I let it dry overnight, plugged everything together, and it worked on the first try. Go me. <br /><br />also: the more I use my new camera, the more I love it. I’ve already shot 2000 photos with it. ok, fine, I’ll shut up about it already. But the good news keeps on coming, I have a job interview tomorrow, I fixed this laptop, etc. <br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0001.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0002.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0003.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0004.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0005.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0006.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0007.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0008.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0009.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0010.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0011.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0012.jpg” alt=”Photos” /><br /><br /><span class=”caption” ></span><img class=”photo” src=”https://images.matt.pictures/starbux_is_giving_away_pastries/1145/0013.jpg” alt=”Photos” />
