Nonetheless, I love religious imagery, mainly Gothic influence in architecture and graveyards. While driving around soaking in Montreal this summer, I accidentally stumbled upon St. Joseph’s Oratory. It was big, it was ornate and it overlooked the city. After touring the monstrous building, I went to the meditation garden which turned out to be a HUGE pathway through a luscious garden dotted with concrete sculptures depicting the Way of the Cross, aka the Stations of the Cross, aka the story of Jesus death and resurrection.

October 29th, I will have the privilege and pleasure to not only witness the Pixies live in all their glory, but to photograph them as well.

To say I died and went to heaven upon learning my credentials had been approved would be a huge understatement.

Indian Lake Ranch is a fabulous campground in Webster Massachusetts. It was like summer camp for grown ups, a point Ed Robinson made numerous times as the amazing BNL played classic hits, children’s song and impromptu comedic situational ditties.

Ra Ra Riot played in support of Guster, apparently a last minute change since the photo pass indicated Jack’s Mannequin was the opening act on this tour. It rained off and on this entire show, which kept the crowd light and in damp spirits. Nonetheless, Ra Ra Riot trudged through their set, perhaps a bit underwhelmed at playing in the early evening…in the rain…on a bandstand surrounded by a moat.
