MagTard’s Launch Party — Sort Of

MagTard’s Launch Party — Sort Of

Posted 15 December 2009 | By Giles | Categories: Equipment, Personal, Photography, Photos I Like, Shoots | 1 Comment

This past Friday night, at EJ’s loft in downtown Macon, MagTard held a launch party for their new CD. While it started at nine, I didn’t get there until almost 9:30 — but knew I had plenty of time before folks really got into the evening. Miles and Trish were there: I don’t get a [...]

Home Update — and a MagTard Bonus

I’m grateful that the huge project that has been my home remodeling is drawing closer and closer to the finish line, and I’m grateful for the attention and support from folks near and far. Indeed, this support has been vital. Many thanks to you all. A special call-out to these two: Guys’ Hero Shot Jody, [...]

Please note: I’ve added a few updates to the remodeling gallery (latest — 10/30), for those following along. (Thanks.) More soon. While my house remodeling continues, I’m much more restricted on what I can work than I imagined. There have been several power problems, and I’m without my big computer for days at a stretch [...]

Please note: I’m working backwards, from Friday’s event in downtown Macon, through a friend’s special event last weekend in upstate New York, to the past couple of weeks in Maine — all of which resulted in some great photographs. Despite a going non-stop since getting back, please stay tuned for another post this weekend, then [...]

Sapelo Island, off the coast of Georgia, has become one of my favorite places to go. It’s relaxing, it’s peaceful, and, at the beach we stay at, it’s possible to see for miles and miles — in either direction — without seeing a house or any sort of development. Ultimately, however, it’s as much about [...]

On Cocktails and Birthdays

On Cocktails and Birthdays

Last week not only served up a Cocktail Hour hosted by Creighton (aka the Originator) and Carolyn, but in a Thursday-Friday two-fer, Dan Zook’s 42nd birthday. I took a very few photographs on Thursday, spending more time chatting with some new folks (as the various school seasons get underway, the new teachers and professors have [...]

Cocktail Hour marked its return from the summer hiatus this past Thursday, and I was there with a camera. It was nice to see folks, including hosts Gerald and Autumn, also marking a return — this time, from their trip to England. Gerald was also using the occasion to start the celebration of his 40th [...]

MagTard at Bragg Jam

In keeping with the narrative: as mentioned last time, I rolled back into town — from a great weekend in South Carolina — just in time to catch the last performance of Bragg Jam. Sweet. Bragg Jam 2009 covered a bunch of venues and dozens if not hundreds of musicians, with an estimated 5,000 attendees [...]

As mentioned last time, I was headed out of town Wednesday. Indeed, I rolled back in around 11 Saturday night — just in time to catch a couple of songs from the MagTard midnight performance at Bragg Jam … before collapsing from exhaustion. Stay tuned, as MagTard’s photographs will be posted tomorrow or Weds. Charleston, [...]

Sorry for the quiet; been running, running in about fifteen directions the past few months — most of them not near the web site. More on that in a few weeks. Meanwhile…. Enjoyed the heck out of a session with the local band MagTard last week. Posted up a few photographs yesterday, but am only [...]
