March in Summary

March started off a bit slow and dull. I came back from Zihutanejo somewhat refreshed and very tan. Things seems good but boring and then....

My friend died, a loved one got diabetes, I was assigned to shoot a musician for a magazine which then declared bankruptcy, I met a ton of people at a photo reception where I got hired to shoot a party at SXSW, I went home to Boston for the funeral and met with old friends, I flew to Austin where I worked and partied hard, got some pictures published on rollingstone.com

and elsewhere, met some rockstars (who I didn't know at the time), stayed up all night at the Blender party before my flight back (via Denver!) at 7am, slept in a really awkward position the whole time, slept, slept some more.... then I went out with some Massholes to drink hard liquor before, on and after St. Patty's Day, met a real Irish drunk who kept saying "fer FUCK's SAKE!", had a slumber party with my friend passing through from London, saw another friend pull off some fantastic standup comedy with a big high school reunion to follow...

(inhale)

...then I came back to New York and got hooked up at a Knitting Factory show where I picked up the hard drive that I had WON at SXSW (!), shot a casting, had a rockin' night at the Crystal Castles show at Studio B, hung out with a hot basketball team and looked at local celebrities at Todd Barry's birthday party, went to an AA meeting with a friend just for fun, had a college reunion brunch, went to Queens and danced with an inflatable man which led into dancing at a UCB dance party which turned out to be yet another acquaintance's gigantic birthday party, had a kick-ass photo shoot with the Orion Experience and then shot the Diffa event where I ran into another photographer that I worked with years ago.

Oh, and my high school's drama teacher found me on Facebook. No, its not like THAT. He was always buds with the kids and we now have 14 friends in common - he was a COOL teacher. I love Facebook.

Now I am home editing and wondering what April will be like. I wonder...

Now I have to ask, those of you who found this blog by Googling, "white girl, fat ass", is this really what you wanted to find? My post titled, "White Girl with a Fat Ass", is a reference to my friend's blog of the same name which is geared towards weight loss and charity fund-raising. Just curious. Let me know if you came here looking for porn and still found this entertaining.

SXSW/St. Patty's Day

This is what a series of all nighters in Austin at SXSW followed up by St. Patrick's Day in Boston can do to an otherwise nice girl.

Happy Belated St. Patty's Day!

SXSW - Day 4

Blender Party in Austin. Flight in the morning. Too late to sleep. Might as well stay up....

SXSW - Day 2

I'm trapped at the front of the stage at Emo's. Great spot for photos but I can't get a damn beer!

SXSW - Day 3

I still haven't gone to sleep since day 2. Good morning, Texas sunshine!

SXSW Day 1 - Bond. Jane Bond.

After more than a decade I finally got to see Jane Bond live, in person. Here's a picture of us at the gate at Beauty Bar. The line was too long but she gave me a kiss on the cheek before she ran off to Beerland. I hope its not another decade before our paths cross again. I'll have to catch her at one of her next shows here in Austin.

Golden Bear show was great...
Its way past my bedtime.

Zihua Blue!

Post wedding celebration at Zihua Blue in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. We danced all night! Okay, well at least until we looked around and realized no one else was there anymore...
