it's not dark yet...

sheesh--look what happens when you get a new job. especially when that job entails writing copy all day. but i'm still here, kicking and screaming in all my opinionated, tarnished glory. i hope you're still out there too, because gosh darn it, you're likable people, and the world should have more of you around.

i'm gonna start up this scrappy little blog once more. it may not be all shiny and pretty (yet), but i did miss writing in it. i make no promises and will tell no lies, but i look forward to the possibility of partnering with a couple friends in bringing you, the people, some quality music musings and film feelings as the days progress.

for now, i'll say: mark your calendars for april 15. casiotone for the painfully alone will be playing at dan's silverleaf. excellent band + exceptional venue = don't miss it.

we're almost to the end of our list--do you love denton more?  if i haven't convinced you yet, then prepare yourself to be persuaded by these visual delights courtesy of my very good friend and talented dentonian, heather hare.

9. taking pictures
i don't mean to make you blush, denton, but you sure look good behind a camera.  you're so photogenic.  that downtown square, those classic cars, your old fashioned soda parlors, the arts and the music--absolutely stunning! 

just take a look at a few photos heather captured at the arts and jazz festival at quakertown park last year (oh, and a subsequent beth marie's run.  taking pictures is a great excuse to get a waffle cone!):
