california calls you

xythian photographed my going-away party last weekend. The whole set is really moving for me--there are a lot of people I care about in those pictures. But maybe you don't care about all of them, so here are a few of my favorite photos:

• me and Colin hanging out "backstage"
  
• me and Kate at work
  
• Dave Ray digging the show
  
• an action tableau!
  
• Tom, happy

Ken also photographed Tin Cat's last show, coincidentally at the same place we played our first show, where Ken took the photographs we used for our web page. I especially like the last one, with me and Dave holding still around the edges while Tom and Evan and Meredith work up a storm in the middle.

tapes

Over the last year I've listened to a whole lot of my tapes from high school and college, and set aside some of them to remind me I'd like to get them on CD. I'm typing these in now mostly for my own records (since I don't want to move them to Minneapolis just so I can replace them), but who knows, maybe you're curious about what I listened to last century.

( Or maybe not. )

Looking back, a lot of these are pure nostalgia picks. I remember Radio K.A.O.S. fondly, but I doubt I'd ever listen to it. On the other hand, I'd love to have the Wallets back in my life, and I'm not sure how I've gotten by without Naked City.
