The Writers of Wrongs

Tonight: very odd setlist tonight for Panic night 2, but that's part of the fun, right? But I thought the playing was on point. Some elaborate excursions and dark song suites. Jason Crosby featured prominently on fiddle and keys both and really shined and pushed the band in several key jams. They have left so much on the table for tomorrow's close-out, they could do some serious damage.

A few years ago I found myself walking around Downtown Atlantic City, taking in some of the non-tourist spots. I found this little abandoned gas station, situated between one of the newest casinos and one of the oldest lighthouses in this country, the Absecon Lighthouse. After shooting this photo I continued walking around and found myself walking past a barber shop. Two very large guys, who were hanging outside started asked me a few camera questions and one of them told me he was having issues with his camera and asked if I would take a look. So, because I have stupid labrador retriever energy at times, I walked into the shop and figured I'd help. Thankfully he went and grabbed his camera, I took a look and found that his memory card had been accidentally locked. Flipped the switch, camera went back to working perfectly, and went on my way. Whenever I tell this story people are shocked that I wasn't mugged and had my gear taken or something worse. Not the best location, outnumbered, and walking into a secluded place. Checks the list of things you should avoid, but I try my best to follow my gut and help people who ask. Sometimes it's a 2 second act of kindness that can make someone's day. Yes, evil people walk this planet, but despite what the news tells you, they are far outnumbered by the good.
I hope those huge photo loving guys are doing well.

I’ve been chronically under-stimulated these days. Are there any punk movements near South Jersey?
