Big Bang String Thing

Deforest Art Fair nice, much better then last year!  Very few sales but when I did sell something it was a large piece so it all worked out.

Yesterday DJ and I were at Hydro Street Brewing and there was a band there called The Big Bang String Thing and they were EXCELLENT.  Perhaps because members have toured with Leo Kottke, The Smashing Pumpkins, U2, Garbage, Asleep at the Wheel, Riders in the Sky and may others  . . . they seemed to know what they were doing.

The were the first band to play in the Hydro Street Beer Garden.

And inside

Last night I was playing around and did a few environmental portraits of the band.

I tell ya - Hydro has something good going on there.  The beer has become excellent, the atmosphere is Island Time relaxing, and they get walk ins constantly from the train station and highway.  It was a rocky start but that was expected.  This is a go to place now in Columbus.

HEY - Columbus is getting ready for the BIG Carriage Festival June 16 and 17.  This year along with horse drawn carriages from all over the U.S.we will also have a Civil War Encampment, lunch and breakfast with Abe Lincoln, a Civil War Parade, a Civil War era cotillion and fashion show, tours of historic buildings in Columbus.  

hmmmmm  I wonder if I should bring my camera  :-)

In other news Josh passed his EMT Practicals, I googled it and there are forums for stressed out people studying their butts off for this test!  As one guy put it "the problem with medical / trauma assessments is that it's pure brute memorization".  Very very very few people pass it the first time through.

Josh passed first time with flying colors!  Congrats!!!

Have a great Monday
