Ventured out of hibernation to attend the Sarah Donner and DoubleClicks concert. Had a great time and enjoyed actually setting down the camera for a bit. I have a lot of pictures of The DoubleClicks from various other concerts, but this was the first time seeing Sarah Donner.
Enjoy the shots!
After 3 ½ months of searching during one of the worst times for a govt. contractor to be searching for a job, I finally landed a position! Sarah also started a new job as well. It’s been a super stressful few months and I am really glad for the emotional support of my friends and family during that time. But hey, that’s done and I have joined the productive society again! I am now working in a local (to Northern VA) hosting company doing Tier 3 Windows support. Should be interesting getting back down in the support weeds. Who knows, it may lead to a whole new variety of twitter jokes.
Sadly, this does bring an end to my series of “Cover Letter” jokes. please feel free to go back and see the hilarity that ensues when you try and add the wrong things to cover letters.
In the month since I went to shoot the LADEE launch, quite a few things have happened. One of the reasons I haven’t written much since then is primarily due to the crappy depression that accompanies something like unemployment. (That and the lack of sleep, irritability, feeling of worthlessness….you get the picture) So lets see if I can shotgun these out.
We started doing a Webcomic over at RetroNickRadio!! It’s really cool and you should go read it.
I went to shoot some Roller Derby!
Two Words….Midget Wrestling. (yeah, that happened)
Sarah and I celebrated our return to work with a trip to Universal Studios.
We got to attend a great concert by Wil Wheaton Vs. Paul and Storm
And finally, two of our super awesome friends were finally allowed to be married in Maryland so we went to wish them well.
The next month should prove interesting as I adjust to a new work schedule (read that as “Actually working again, and not in my Pajamas”)
Last Friday Sarah and I got the opportunity to attend a superb crazy excellent super cool concert of awesomeness! The Ladies of Ragnarok tour (a Dammit Liz Production) was sponsored by Thinkgeek. Sarah and I trekked out to Jammin Java in Vienna VA to take in this amazing spectacle. (there, I think I used enough adjectives to describe the concert)
The key players in the concert were The Doubleclicks, Molly Lewis, and Marian Call. I, of course, brought along the camera to further practice my Concert Photography. Equipped with my[amazon_link id=”B004V4IWKG” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]D5100[/amazon_link], I swapped between my [amazon_link id=”B004Y1AYAC” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]50mm 1.8[/amazon_link] prime and my [amazon_link id=”B004FN1W2I” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]18-270mm[/amazon_link] zoom. Thanks to some great friends we had seats maybe 30 ft from the stage and dead center. Due to it being a very crowded venue, I didn’t get the chance to move around a lot so most of these are shot from my seat. The downside to that being that there’s a lot of microphone eating in the shots.

Just got done with the concert! It was amazing, as per usual. I took a TON of pictures. Once I go through them and polish them up I will have them uploaded. Should be sometime this weekend. Zoo planned for tomorrow, I guess all the events this weekend will make up for not really doing any shooting this last week!
Sleep now…..
