Me...You...Youth...Crew
Had this picture not been taken in my kitchen, it would be the perfect addition for the artwork to any straight edge band's flyer or album artwork.

Aquarians
Yesterday's photo-extravaganza:
I was disappointed to see the forecast had shrunk overnight when I checked it online in the morning. Luckily, someone forgot to tell the Atlantic because I was pleasantly surprised to find consistently waist high waves at the pier. A couple guys ended up making their way out, but we were able to spread out and have our own peak to ourselves. Judging by the cars I saw parked when I left, the folks that take the winter off are starting to trickle back into the line-up. I took this shot before paddling out and it was probably the only time the sun was out the whole day. As the tide filled in, the size increased a bit:
Next it was off to the aquarium, with my wife, daughter, niece, nephew, brother-in-law, and friends to celebrate a couple of march birthdays. By the way we were taking pictures, you'd think we lived in Ohio or something.
We couldn't even get Maeve's coat off before she was tearing through the place looking at the fish.
Maeve checking out the horseshoe crabs with Amy:
I decided to spot Maeve to ensure she didn't climb in with the horseshoe crabs:
It's hard to see but make was checking out Groman, the giant sea turtle that was in this tank.
I thought this would be a really cool shot, but the glare from the tank messed it up and there isn't much of a window to take pictures with Maeve. I was on the other side of the tank. I do like her expression, though.
More horseshoe crab action:
Maeve's favorite station, the coloring center, where you could draw pictures.
Maeve loved this part, but didn't always get the concept:
Third floor poster:
Posing hard:
Three's company:
Lots of cool artwork and murals were all over the place:
The diving helmets:
The crew at the aquarium and outside The Rainforest Cafe:
Atlantic City from the parking garage:
Having never been to the Atlantic City Aquarium before, we were impressed. There was just enough stuff to keep the kids occupied without being overwhelming and the stuff they had was pretty rad.

Where Eagles Dare
Well, not really eagles but this ball of feathers could still be considered a bird of prey. Came home from a surf one morning and as I was going to put my board away I found this bad boy hanging out in the tree that sits right over my garage. He hung out for an hour or so and then just disappeared. Not as good as the time my wife was going to be late for work because there were turkeys in front of her car door, but still a pretty good encounter.

This System Clearly Needs an Intervention
I was driving home last week after a rough day at work where there was just entirely too much bureaucratic nonsense coming my way, and I happened to listened to Yo Man, Go!'s song "Down with Bojangles" for the first time in a while. YMG were such a good band, reminding me a lot of the Latterman, and lyrically they always had something good to say. Hearing "Bojangles" it fit perfectly with the kind of day I had. The song stuck around in my head and I came up with this sketch a day or two later.
Here's Yo Man, Go!'s myspace page where you can hear the song:

While you're at it, order a copy of their seven inch from Square of Opposition Records:

Fashion for Rebellion
A student of mine showed up the other day with this shirt on and I thought it was hilarious.
I went home and listened to Tha Doggfather seven inch by the Ultimate Warriors at the end of day in honor of such a fine garment.

We Sang Along and Lost Our Voice
A late 90's flyer for the once popular and short-lived Sunday Hardcore matinee at Scarlett O'Haras. I've been listening to a lot of the Atari discography lately and wishing they would play out again. There had been some talk over the summer of them playing a few shows in the UK, but, unfortunately, nothing came of that as far as I know.
Like the old saying goes, "Scarlett O'Hara's is the place to go for all the real hardcore shows".
