I also shot a concert tonight (We Were Promised Jetpacks), but the show was just so-so, and I'm gonna bombard y'all with band photos next week. So you get scenic architecture today instead. ]]> tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.440 2010-03-09T03:47:52Z 2010-03-09T03:59:15Z

Leslie ]]> Kyle dj during the bar's local music night. After a nice cold Grain Belt, we headed home to snuggle in with the dogs and watch some Battlestar Galactica. We just started season 2 and right in the first 15 minutes the DVD stopped working (frak). I'm pretty sure that's the only copy Blockbuster has. And no, we don't have Netflix. So if any of you locals own the series, you know where to find me :)]]> tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.439 2010-03-07T06:27:58Z 2010-03-08T06:33:36Z

Leslie ]]> Tonight was the Oscars, which I work every year to help out with the fashion page. And in the time-honored tradition, we all bring food so we'll have a nice spread while working on a Sunday night. I am so ready for the warm weather that I couldn't resist these lovelies, and I made tomato salad with fresh mozzarella, basil and fresh pepper. I thought it would cure my longing for July, but what do you know, it made it worse. Good thing I'm heading south in t-minus eight days. tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.438 2010-03-06T06:10:15Z 2010-03-07T17:18:12Z

Leslie ]]> Tonight was the Are You Local? show at First Avenue. My favorite part was Peter Wolf Crier opening with "Helter Skelter" -- they absolutely killed it. But this is a photo of Bight Club. They put on a pretty entertaining show in the Entry, and won themselves a ticket down to SXSW. tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.437 2010-03-06T02:52:26Z 2010-03-06T03:01:40Z

Leslie ]]> Brad. It was a pretty mellow day off. Just like I like it.]]> tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.436 2010-03-05T03:42:19Z 2010-03-05T03:54:18Z

Leslie ]]> here. This shot is of the guitarist for Foreign Born. Lots of smoke/fog machines and lights with this band, which was good. They needed it, and it worked with their sound.]]> tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.434 2010-03-03T03:37:51Z 2010-03-03T03:47:15Z

Leslie ]]> Tonight was my monthly dinner with Nyberg, and we decided to head over to Nick and Eddie (sooooo good). And after about a year and a half of meeting monthly for dinner, I finally got a photo of this lovely lady. For those of you who don't know Nyberg, we worked together at the paper for many years before she took a buyout and improved her life by about 2000 percent. Also? This is the third photo in a row featuring a cup of coffee. Yeah. I notice these things. tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.433 2010-03-02T03:40:29Z 2010-03-02T03:54:52Z

Leslie ]]> We met up with our friend Chris tonight for dinner at Kings. Chris' partner Alby is working in Hawaii for a few months (yeah, we're all jealous). But we thought it would be fun to take Chris out and entertain him for a bit. Which we need to do much more often -- lots and lots of laughs with this one. tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.432 2010-03-01T01:29:34Z 2010-03-01T01:35:10Z

Leslie ]]> I met up with Julie today at Spyhouse for some catching up. I love that place. Great atmosphere, delicious food and a damn good soundtrack. Plus? Laughs with Julie is a great way to spend an afternoon. tag:www.shuttersmack.com,2010://1.431 2010-02-27T04:21:50Z 2010-02-28T05:37:38Z

This shot was some of the gear from the Fetus show at the Entry. I thought about using a performer, but hey, I did that yesterday. You can see more shots (including performers) right here. Except that last shot in the bunch isn't from First Ave. That's Jeff, whom we hung out with a ton at the Chizbacher wedding last summer, and whom we were quite fond of. And now that I've seen him in short shorts and that t-shirt! Playing with ELnO? What a guy. And yes. That's a wig. Oh, and I just realized you can't see the short shorts in the frame. You're just gonna have to trust me on that one.

Leslie ]]> Brains on Fire, who was also at the show. Eric was in elementary school when Jamie and I first kissed. Yeah. That doesn't make me feel old AT ALL. The photo above is of Janiene from Budian.

Leslie ]]> Aesthetic Apparatus designed. I *love* this design team. If you have never poked around their site, you should. And if you live in Minneapolis, get on over to their headquarters on Saturday. They are having a scratch'n'dent sale and posters are going to be starting at FIVE BUCKS. You can't beat that with a stick.

PS: That Raconteurs show kicked ass. It's in my top 10 of all time. Maybe even top 5.

Leslie ]]> Mmm... lunch. Margaret brought me in some homemade soup for lunch today. It was turnip-ginger soup with bacon bits. Deeeelish. I wish I had something more exciting to report, but today was full of work and meetings. Texas vacation can't come soon enough.
