a’s Neighborhood

Well, yeah....

I'm only goin' as far as Buffalo....

Just been completing random projects that I've been wanting to make for awhile. I love that I have nothing to do (well, actually, I should be finishing up my resume and submitting job applications...but let's worry about that after the new year, shall we? Deal.

Just been making some papercuttings in general. None of them are that fancy, but I like the simplicity. It's a good way to pass the time. Almost new years, guys. Got any resolutions? I think mine is just to relax and stop caring about what other people think, and to relish in the good friends that I do have. Cheers, loves, cause you're it.

Here is my favorite Vic Chesnutt memory: The first time I ever saw Vic in concert, I was very surprised to notice that we were wearing identical shirts.  I'm not talking about the same R.E.M. concert tee or something like that; I'm talking about the same dark blue long-sleeved button-up collared shirt with thin white lines criss-crossing across it.  The chances of two people wearing that shirt on the same night at the same venue...well, I don't really know what the chances were.  I'd say very small.  Later on in the same evening, he sang "Gravity of the Situation" and I cried like a stupid fucking baby.

Vic died on Christmas.  Here's a link to the post I wrote the last time I saw him.  Here's another one where I said Vic's music made life worth living.

Apologies for the photo order...VOX doesn't always cooperate.

 

With gratitude for Director Suzanne Holder, Sunday School Director Cassandra Kirby, and behind the scenes workers Ruth Shankwiler and June Stadtler...and, of course, to our beautiful kids! Best photos by Michael Bruner, the rest blame on Woodward.

 

Merry Christmas to all!
