  • Atlanta Airport: Playground/Amusement Park

    Made it to Atlanta. Roaming around the airport — it’s like an amusement park, especially if you have time (as I have) and if you’re not stressed (which is a state I’m blissfully sliding into: the stress of the last few weeks starting to melt away). As I sit here in the food court munching…

  • Slight delay

    Well, perfection is over-rated. The ASA flight to ATL is slightly delayed, but no worries here — I have a 3 hour layover in the city of my birth.

  • To San Francisco (2008)

    I’m heading out to San Francisco to wander around that beautiful city, sleep, hang out with King and Gwen, sleep some more, take pictures, read up on Tennessee History, go to Macworld Expo, and so on Currently sitting in the Chattanooga airport. On schedule perfectly so far. Next stop Atlanta and then winging to the…

  • Dan at Aquarium

    Here’s a tenuous goal of mine: chop up some of the interesting musical performances I’ve shot and upload them to YouTube. Sure, I’ve been doing some of that already, but the goal involves doing much, much more. (Perhaps a new song every week? Every day? Every hour? Ok, ok, once a week is probably within…

  • Summer 2007 pictures

    Here are some assorted pictures from the last couple weeks. From Nightfall, to Rock City, to Beaver Nelson, and even a collapsing building… nice times with friends.

    I done saw a building get all blowed up. The demolition of an old factory in Chattanooga (at base of Lookout Mountain).

  • SFO+Thai=Movie

    I’ve successfully arrived in San Francisco, where I was met by King at the airport. We’re off to eat Thai food on Haight St and then a movie.

    I’m on the actual plane. We’ll be taking off soon – i.e. in 2007. On the way!

  • status 7

    The Tornado Warning has passed, with no ill effects. A plane is being re-routed here via South Carolina now that the weather’s settled down. We’re now supposed to depart around 1 pm EST, from a new gate only 19 gates away from where we were (and where I was enjoying a tasty turkey club). A…

  • status 6

    Yay. They’ve announced that the Atlanta airport is under a Tornado Warning right now. It’s nice when they ask for all passengers to move away from all windows. (There are, um, a few windows here in the terminal.) So, Flight 582 is now leaving at 2:05 pm EST, arriving in SF at 5 pm PST.…

    Last night I went to a concert at Charles & Myrtle’s Coffeehouse (McBrien Road in Chattanooga) featuring Irish musician John Carty. Good show! Some fiddling, some banjoing, accompanied by guitar. Here’s a brief glimpse:
