NC logs, part 1.

It’s 2:25 a.m. on Thursday, and I am still hiding out after a week in New Bern. Jet lag apparently will not fade, as I am finding myself up very late and having trouble waking up prior to noon. I’ve stayed pretty quiet this week, other than shooting a wedding and taking approximately a million [...]

NC adventures part 2: Introducing Aaron to the South.

After a long weekend of airport waiting, flying, and shooting/editing photos until the wee hours of the morning, and attempting to catch up with lots and lots and lots of people I hadn’t seen in nine months, all I wanted to do was nothing. And what better place to do nothing than New Bern, NC? [...]

NC adventures part 1: Exploding neighborhoods, broken planes, sleeping in food courts, and Hopscotch.

Earlier this year (probably March or so), I was stalking Raleigh news (as usual) and noticed that some friends were putting on a music festival. Not like our standard NC music festivals, which involve shitty U2 cover bands as headliners. This was a legitimate music festival, with good, independent, relevant bands. It was to be [...]

Homeward.

After awaking from my 15-hour couch nap, I was onward to Phase 3 of my trip: hitching a ride to my hometown of New Bern, NC. My brother was off work for the night and offered to tote me. He would arrive at 1:00. This would all be great, if my belongings weren’t strewn all [...]

A visit to Raleigh: Out downtown edition.

Greetings from North Carolina. I write to you as I wait patiently for 4:30 AM, the time I should awake and begin preparing to head to the airport. I have just finished up a week in my glorious home state. I arrived at approximately 9:49 AM Thursday morning. I had expected ample sleeping time on [...]

Raleigh in San Fran.

I keep finding myself crossing paths with Raleigh folk in this new city of mine. I feel like a good many alumni of NCSU’s College of Design either migrate to New York or San Francisco… and I don’t blame them, as they’re both meccas of design and technology. It’s basically the same reason I moved [...]

This year’s Raleigh hodgepodge.

Just a hodgepodge of random Raleigh photos from 2009.

Graduation.

I finally graduated from college. I say “finally” as if it took me longer than expected, but I finished in four years. I’ve just been ready to graduate for about 3.5 years now. Graduation jump. The day eventually progressed into what became a night of drinks and debauchery with an eclectic group of folks, including [...]

Tour Log: Wilmington to Charlotte

8/9/2007 – Wilmington to Charlotte I wake up in a mysterious female’s bed (mysterious female being gone, obviously) with a giiiiiaaaant headache. I wander out into the living room to find a bunch of greasy homeless looking people who happen to be my tour mates. After a good bathe and a trip to Bojangles, we [...]

Tour Log: Raleigh to Wilmington

8/8/2007 – Raleigh to Wilmington We are looking forward to our second leg of the summer tour. We’ve already played more than 25 states, driven through 39… so this is more of a replay for us, with bigger crowds, larger $$ guarantees, and a couple of new cities in the mix. All of us are [...]

Tour Log: Chicago to Raleigh

6/10/07 – Chicago to Raleigh We wake up in time to go explore the city a bit. We basically tried to see and experience all of the cliché Chicago things we could.. Wrigley Stadium, beer, deep-dish pizza, the “train” (NOT the subway apparently). On the way back towards the venue, we accidentally took the wrong [...]
