Went to the bike art opening, a lot of Norman scenesters and young parents in the crowd. The art was ok, the bikes were cool.
This was the coolest part: the fixed-gear as objet d’art. That and chris’ paintings; my only criticism is I wish they were bigger.

This was supposed to be a bike theremin, but it was about 3/4 fail.
The jumps they were doing were pretty cool though.
This is Amanda. The next five pix are another unintentional photo essay. I was basically hanging out with her the whole night, although the background kept changing and some people came and went.

For example: After we left Norman, we went to Estrella and MJ’s place. Very cool casa. I’m guessing this was some kind of decorative place setting.
Does this really need explanation? Seriously.
Outside the blue note. She says to me “You have your camera?” I say, “Of course,” and she runs and jumps and lays down on the sign.
I know I promised five pictures, and that’s because there’s a story with this one. This was the hostess at a pary we headed to after the blue note. Shortly after this was taken, this girl grabs Amanda by the hair and won’t let go, all for a jello shot cup thrown on the floor. We had a good laugh about that in the car, leaving. Then Reghan (who’d joined us for the blue note and after) shouts out of the window “We know where you live!”
This is a true rocker. Notice that Caitlin’s entire body is in motion, except for the beer. Epic.

“Take one for the dudes of america,” he said. So I did.
