‘Twas a particularly special holiday season visiting the family and friends due to the fact that yours truly turned 30 years of age on January 2nd. I’m saying “so long” to my twenties. So long 2008, and all the years before you (both in the Common Era and how ever many more there were B.C.E.).
As time continued its march into 2009, I took some time to photograph family and friends.
Above is the one and only Mr. James Fain. Perhaps one of the most knowledgeable guys in my hometown, it was great seeing him and having him sit for these portraits. All the while listening to his remarkable collection of experimental/noise discs and LP’s.
So here’s to a great start to 2009. I’m excited to see how things continue to shake out.
More always,
Mike
The Neverending Quest for the Sickest Nerf Jam, v. 2009
My buddies and I recently got together to celebrate mankind’s neverending search for the nastiest dunk on a nerf setup in history.
This is Joshua Collins’ contribution. It’s apparently pending review down at the patent and copyright office. If I remember correctly, it’s called the Reverse Jackhammer Undertow Revelation: Major.
Collins’ execution of the previous dunk was so stunningly well orchestrated, that it caused the basketball to implode, and we were forced to play with a shrunken soccer ball for the remainder of our nerf study. A little Permacel grip tape, and we were back in business.
Here Collins plays a little ‘D’ on Lakin “the Smiling Shark” Garth.
Also in attendance was the renowned historian, Luke “Cottonmouth” McGuire, Ph.D–an expert in the history of Sickeningly-ill Gravity-defying Nerfdunkdom. We were very honored to have him observe our contribution to this very momentous and important moment in human history.
