South

I'm settling into the bus now, so (once again), hopefully soon I'll be spending more time on my photography. I have a couple other projects going on, as well. More to follow on that soon, with any luck.

About a month ago I got back from a couple week trip down south. Christie and I went down hoping to catch some warmth, but unfortunately timed ourselves to catch the bitter bitter 2 weeks of winter that New Orleans got this year. It did get up to 65 one, day, though. We wore shorts!

Found it.

Caught one of my favorite bands, Lemuria, play at a warehouse space

On New Years Eve we found a spot on the levee wall with a ladder behind some abandoned junk yards and climbed it and watched the fireworks being shot near the French Quarter from just down the river while sitting atop some train cars.

This is actually earlier in the day. We came back at night.

We also went to a wedding of a couple crusty punks on top of the smoke stack building next to the river. A pretty awesome spot and ceremony. The vows were followed by an acoustic rendition of the hokey-pokey.

Across the street

While in that region we went to hang out with my friends in Athens, Georgia for a few days. As far as weather, we might as well have stayed in Indiana there, too. But, it was good to see some friends and do some exciting things.

The best swing.
