For weeks now whenever anyone has asked how the wedding planning’s going my stock response has been to say, “We’re pretty much set!”, which it turns out is kind of a lie? I don’t know. Sorry, I’m just the GROOM. I don’t know anything! When’s the wedding again? “Siri, remind me to get married on March 31.”

Karl Hyde (vocalist, Underworld): We used to go out drinking in Soho and I ended up in the Ship on Wardour Street. All the lyrics were written on that night. A drunk sees the world in fragments and I wanted to recreate that. I was inspired by Lou Reed’s New York album and Sam Shepard’s Motel Chronicles. I was into flash photography as well, so I was walking around Soho...

Lindsey & Michael - a Downtown Engagement
heartshoppe:
after my first successful test shoot, i was invited to second shoot the engagement session of my good friends Lindsey & Michael in DTLA.
here are a few of my favorite captures from the shoot (and some of the reasons why i love shooting film so much):
We originally wanted to shoot our engagement photos in Santa Monica, retracing the steps of our first date,...

I’m exhausted so Rob offered to cook dinner tonight, which is sweet, but I also hate it because it brings out all the control freak parts of me that I can’t stand.
He’s just making something simple, a dish we eat at least once every other week, and I appreciate that he wants to pitch in…but. BUT. There’s this ugly side of me that gets panicky to think about him doing stuff the...
Gallagher!
andytwood:
Big thanks to @ChaseRoper for putting together all of my tweets from Saturday’s Gallagher show in Ventura. Here they are for your perusal:
Gallagher Live Tweet 11/12/2011
This is essential reading. April and Andy saw Gallagher so you never ever ever ever have to. Truly the Springsteen of racist comedians (smashes things with mallets division).
“Everything changed, though, on a fateful pass-interference call in the second...”
– If you can read How to Take Your 4-Year-Old Daughter to a Football Game and not want to immediately go out and have kids, you are a stronger person than I. Cuteness forever.

Zut and I just last night were talking about what I’d do if there was a zombie invasion. The first thing I said was that I’d get a sword. Then I went on and on about the specifics of everything because what I’d do was HIGHLY dependant on the type of zombies that existed.
HAHAHAHAHH. Okay, of course. WAIT, what do you mean TYPE of zombie???

my first test engagement session… was a roaring success! taken over Labor Day Weekend 2011, my good friends Lindsey & Michael were willing subjects, happy to let me fumble around while learning the ins + outs of my new Contax 645.
here’s a short story from the shoot:

In fact, in a lot of zombie movies, hordes of completely intact zombies crowd around a living person and devour him entirely, with entrails flying everywhere. How did those dudes become zombies? And what of the guy they’re all eating? Do his scraps turn into a bunch of tiny zombies?
How about I was just thinking the exact same thing last night. How are new...

Ryan Fitzpatrick, quarterback, Buffalo Bills
Fitzpatrick laughs at himself too. He coined the nickname “The Amish Rifle,” drives a pickup truck, and might be the only quarterback who wears his wedding ring when he plays. He’s married to Liza Barber, a former soccer star at Harvard, and their engagement story is a classic. During his rookie season, Fitzpatrick bought a ring with money from a joint bank account he...

This happened right across the street from my apartment! I could’ve watched this whole series of hilarious events unfold from my bedroom window!
I’m one to talk though. When I was 8 I was something of a petty larcenist. I used to walk to a liquor store down the street from my apartment to buy baseball cards, chips, soda, candy, etc. One day I went in and bought some baseball cards and...

Sunset Junction Permit Has Been Officially Denied →
downtownlobby:
Feel bad for our friends in the Dum Dum Girls who (along with other acts, vendors, etc.) are out a payday but I don’t think anyone is really bummed about this getting canceled. It lost its way a few years back when they decided to chance entrance fees from a donation to a mandatory $20.

Trying to find a definitive list of stadiums with...
I’ve always taken for granted that if you’re going to a stadium and have to go to the restroom you’ll find troughs. Dodger Stadium, the Coliseum. I’ve been to a few others and while I can’t remember what the set up was like, it just seems like troughs are the most efficient way of relieving (heh) bottlenecks in restrooms. Because when a guy has to pee, it’s not...

GET ME TO THE CHURCH ON TIME
Had my first stressful dream about the wedding last night. I think I was told (or maybe Lindsey was told and I was nearby) that the closer we got to our big day the more anxiety induced dreams we’d be having. GREAT, only 8 more months of this.
Basically everything that could go wrong did. The awesome teal (one of our colors) tie I was wearing was unraveling at the seams so I had to find a...
