Went to go see my favorite local band at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago last night. The first one below was taken by Sam Park, master photographer, with my camera.
They played a cover of “Tomorrow Never Knows,” which is one of my favorite trippy Beatles songs. And it also brought me right back to that one Mad Men episode where they paid a ludicrous sum of money for the song rights.
Trying something new. Split-toning!
Yesterday I went to the Korean Festival in Chicago to see my friend Yoo Soo and his band, The Hemmingbirds, play. Here’s some shots of him and some people at K-Fest. I might go again today to check out the wrestling competition, so part II possibly on the way.
On Wednesday I went to see The Hemmingbirds perform at Reggie’s Music Joint in the South Loop. Now, Sam and I spent the summer catching up on and discussing AMC’s seminal television drama, Mad Men, and we agreed that we needed to try out Don Draper’s favorite cocktail — an Old Fasioned. It. is. awesome. We gave some to Sue to try but she didn’t like it. I think the bartender didn’t mix the bourbon-licious drink well enough, but me and Sam still enjoyed feeling like 1960’s Ad Men in a music bar. Sam (who I have been urging to get into photography) took two of these shots, can you guess which ones?
