oh Mardi Gras pt 2

The internet is truly fascinating. I write this silly blog and someone from Malasyia logs on and reads it... Apparantly, someone has also put a link to my blog on their facebook account... Um, please let me know if your doing this!! Common curtusy isn't it?

Well, with Mardi Gras now in full swing I have no choice but to concede it's victory over me. I spent an hour driving 3 miles yesterday trying to get to work. I was on the road a full hour and 45 mins before any parade was about to roll... But when I got to work, all stressed out, Paul made it all fade away. The Rolling Elvi set up shop at St. Joe's before there were to roll with the Muses parade. Paul takes on a whole different personality when he is in his red jump suit and it made my day. I unfortunately didn't take any pics of the group because I had planned to skip out on work to go shoot them as they rolled past the corner of Jefferson & Magazine. The crowd was too dense though and I just gave up. I'm not the most ambitious person when it comes to photographing or taking part in parades...

I spent the majority of last night at the Hi Ho Lounge photographing musicians. Felix played, along with DJ Urine (from paris), MC Trachiotomy and his band and a few others. I plan on posting a BIG photo blog once Mardi Gras is over with all the pics in one spot. So hold out a few days. It was a great night with crazy music. I wish there would've been more people to witness the show.

I may have lined up a photo of DJ Urine while he's in town too! If you haven't seen or heard this guy you should. It's SIC (sic)! It's definitely out there, some might say noise pollution. I say it's mad genious!

I woke up today with my right eye in serious pain. I have a stye in my eye! Under my eyelid! and it hurts like all hell. I hope it goes away by monday because I'd like to shoot more photos and it hurts too much to put a camera to my eye and scan the viewfinder.
