Title: Photographic retrospective (aka best week ever)
Post by: danz on Oct 26, 2010, 09:01 AM
I take my point 'n shoot around almost everywhere, but I never take this many photos at shows - this time, I just couldn't resist.  Here are mine favories from last week, in chronological order

Brooklyn, Monday afternoon

Tomoaki, who came all the way from Japan, with Jason aka The Steam Engine - rad dudes!

It seemed like Jim was exceptionally happy this week, just like us, and rightfully so :)

There were many supernatural events throughout the week

I see seven forum members :) If you came from far away (Dave,) I automatically liked you

I finally figured out what the EU cover art is all about!  It's Johnny's silhouette sagaciously overlooking the metaphorical classroom

Danz,
You have an amazing talent......great pics......I am honored to have been included in your top shots.......the final shot is my truck getting ready to pull away from Magees at about 2:30am Sunday after the final show.......I was providing chauffeur service to my wife who hurt her leg trying to tackle Jim James on Friday night.

Bob, I don't blame her: after several nights of conditioning, the realization that we won't be seeing JJ on stage the next week should compel everyone to do what they can to prevent him from leaving us.

Dan-Z!  Good meeting ya those few times before and after the shows at McGeetahs.  I never doubted your talent once you told me your profession, four wheels rule bro!!  Hope you enjoyed that Casey Jones before ISM, that pumped me up for what was about to happen!  

These pics are amazing, I could see you the whole EU show from front right second balcony while standing next to Ms Yvon and Paul.

Peace,
Monkeyboy

Miss you all :)

Dan, these pictures are AWESOME.  I especially like the one of Carl on the sax.  You have a true gift of catching some really great moments.

It was really nice meeting you and getting a chance to chat for a bit at McGees.  I hope our paths cross again!

i'm going to have to give it up to Kory; he has worked much at harder shooting MMJ stuff.  But I could be his subordinate ;)
