in which my amp redeems itself

[escapewindow]

...So the Armageddon Dildos/Inertia show was the best fucking time I've had at the same show with my guitar amp in a long fucking time.

Both bands' guitarists used it, and they sounded good. Like I told holyfilament, "I don't need a new amp. My amp needs a new guitarist." Whatever. I just had fun bouncing around drunkenly.

Das Überlens didn't work so well at the Insect show, so I brought my trusty Fast Lens plus my Voted Most Likely to be Sold on Craigslist Lens.

... Which kicked ass. It's a slow lens; it only goes to f4.0 and at longer exposures with the zoom, the widest aperture available shrinks to f5.6. (I think I have my terminology right... whatever.) But it's got the largest zoom range of my lenses (which I used to good advantage), and the show was lit well enough that I managed pretty darn well with it. I think I'll hang on to it and bring it to more shows.

leæther inertia.


my amp feeds back good.


all the wide shots, plus a great deal of the others, were taken with my Formerly Known As the Most Likely to be Sold on Craigslist Lens.




i had to bump up the exposure in some of the inertia pics... they played on a darker stage than the armageddon dildos.




i guess i was on a vertical kick.


boo--- er, inertia

the lead singer was wild, jumping into the audience and kissing the womens.
