Grand Circus Park

I took a little trip to Detroit today to take some photos around Grand Circus Park.

Greetings from the east

Trusty old Phillips Emporium has working wireless today, so I am checking my email and double-checking directions for my trek to New England for New Year’s. The local genre bookstore has moved into the space as well. Sergeant Pepper on the speakers. Kids playing chess in the corner. Staff talking about their exes and the new world order and running for local office and MySpace and how it’s easier to get heroin than weed here. Every time I visit it’s the same, but worse.

I hope you’re all having a safe and good holiday. And if it’s not a holiday for you, that you can take off the time anyway and take advantage of the Judeo-Christian machine for once.

Sea things.

Monterey photos

I have some video to upload, but in the meantime, some photos from Monterey.

I’ve typed up my session notes and will write up something interesting when I get home.

Chicago is real

Despite John Hodgman’s protestations, I have photographic evidence that Chicago exists, and that its people are open to visitors, except when they try to squat in their hotel ballrooms.

I love Chicago

I will returning to The Deuce late tonight.

My media is not downloaded off my camera yet, but some folks have been diligent in updating the Internet in regard to our exploits.

Here are some places to see preliminary glimpses of what we’ve been up to:

AJ’s photostream
transiit’s photostream
Pilot’s .mac gallery

Today is a day of leisurely left-over pizza eating, lunch with a good friend, kite delivery, and trains.

Chicago

I will be at this place this weekend, doing things.
