So There was a lot of cool stuff going on yesterday that I didn't do.... There was that black rock thing.... Then zombies where at food drive with motorcycles and a hearse and there was some river fest or something like that... I didn't even go to the movies.... Two Issues when I woke up my body felt tired not sleepy hard to explain so I knew I didn't have it in me besides what thing would I do.... The other thing is my little (Perfectly adequate ) Camera takes those square batteries so it isn't like you can buy a 12 pack of AA and if they die they are dead... and sometimes they act funky so wanted to keep the battery life for wrestling.... I have so many pictures not sure how to post them really so we shall see.....
























The Meet and great was fun!























That Was Eric Young Vs. Kazarian and Orlando Jordan came to ring side with him it was a crazy match trying to wrestle the ref and stuff good time.....





























That Was Tara Vs. Winter




























That Was "The Pope" vs. Matt Morgan.... I guess this is a good place to cut part 1

So as it turns out I do like slideshows but it wasn't really working for pride so I decided to post some of the Parade pictures here and am now just getting around to it.....





























































































































































Granted these aren't all the pictures and it was kinda random and that cool old looking car was before the Parade and the blue one was after the parade.... Now Not sure when the garden walk is but now I think that would be a perfect way to use a slide show or two.....

So Sunday at The Allenwest Art Festival or what ever the official name is ...Yes they used to sell the shirts with the festival name on it... I saw this band called The Dirty Commies and I liked the music so got a CD.... Now not sure if you would call this mountain Music...Hillbilly Rock....Rock A Billy..... Not really sure maybe Skiffle I admit the video is kinda low but maybe someone will enjoy it.....





Now some Videos not shot by me......



Shaky I admit




Well that should be plenty .....

1. Both days it was great to run into some (e:peeps)
2. Some things seem to happen like so randomly
3. Not sure if you will be able to tell about the car being painted and looking different over time.....



































The Name of this band is The Dirty Commies and Hoping to go to Youtube and post the two videos my windows won't do it something to do with copyright that no matter what I do I can't post it.....

















Then out of nowhere came the Springvile allstar Marching Band....
































Now my plan at this point was to go to rite aid and get video tapes but I thought check walgreen's first it was nice to run into the (e:peeps) there.... I saw this vehicle 1st though I was just going to go home after if they didn't have the tapes but when I got to richmond I had to go check out the painting of the car there... I ran into some guy who told me some crazy stories about someone getting the brains blown out at muligans when he was a kid and all sorts of stuff based the fact that seeing this car was a magical moment stuff I guess was crazy back then.....



































As Much as I like the slide show Idea and will use it some still.. For something that tells a story or kinda tells a story the pictures are better....

Not sure if this will work the video is kinda quiet but here is a link to it...Hoping to get both on Youtube on monday we shall see....

I had a good time today and decided to go with small art instead of a big piece that I might not have room for or it might have fit in one spot wasn't sure but here are the photos....







































































Yes that is the art I got on my wall.... Not sure if you can see the other Asia pictures by the same artist in the kitchen...

I'm hoping also to post a short version of pictures from Pride soon but we shall see.....

It was nice to run into (e:libertad) and mike...

Loved that big bike

The Dolls those kids made where great I didn't read about them but I thought they where pretty cool...

I saw some new stuff that wasn't there last year....

I know I had some other point that I forget.....

So Music Is Art last year was great.... At the time things where kinda crazy so I don't think I could ever really figure out what to do picture wise so I figured why not try some slide shows this should be some dancers and a pole the duration is the standard 5 seconds....

So the blog I want to write I really can't .... One reason for this is in the past I have tried to take pictures of the art on my walls but I don't know it never seems to look right with reflection or taking at an angle or the flash hits it... Plus there is that tricky copyright thing also to consider as well... What I wanted to do was take a picture of every piece of art that I remember buying at Allentown and posting it on here now in some cases I could give credit to the artist but some I have no idea who did it... The other issue is that some artists are both at Allentown and The Elmwood Festival of the arts......

Yes I have An issue with the Festival and how they Treated MIA.... But at the same time I get that you wouldn't want to have people hear rock music as they look at art... I thought when both Festivals went at the same time was when they both where the best...Cause lets face it The art fest is great but those crowds some times are argh plus at MIA there was dancing and music and Yes sometimes Burlesque ... Also back then MIA was 2 days and a lot of stuff any you might need a little break..... Hey one year after all that I'm Pretty Sure I saw Robby Takac so if he can still go so can I....

Now some might say that the Allentown West festival is the one to go to but way to packed most of the time.... That is just because of the street width though and then those stands and such....

Yes there seems to be some people who are at the art festival every year...And Yes some of them I have bought art I really like multiple years.. Yes some of these people get people to come see their stuff through mailers or other means... But I also That There are people who have edgy or dark art. I'm don't get the Jewelry thing my self if you want that get it someplace else and not an art fest but those people could say the same thing about the people who make masks.... I think it is good to have a good Variety and I think the Art fest should have one more block on Delaware and one of the streets that goes down should be another block or maybe on that small street....

On Facebook 464 gallery posted some time back a link for Allentown submissions I hope that some great local artists get in...That doesn't mean that I will like there stuff... Hoping to see some cool art and maybe by some I'm kinda like one of those heavy tattooed people who doesn't have much space left... I have seen in past years some amazing stuff that is just to much... Like here it looked painted but it is really layers of paper.... Then sometimes the best looking stuff you can't and trying might be even worse (people watching)... So for those that go have a great time......

Well I think this video has passed on Youtube not sure



So One odd thing is that since youtube has a 10 minute time limit if you have a bunch of pictures like me you have to change the duration .... Even if not I'm of the mind that you don't want to see one photo for 5 seconds even if the zoom does look pretty cool.... I couldn't find any way to change the duration to same time for all the pictures you have to do it for each one? Well here goes........

So the last time I tried this it didn't work...Now this is the same slideshow but I wonder if since I could see it but it hadn't cleared youtube yet if that is where the problem was so going to try and post again here goes....

So this Youtube slide show was just to test it out.... I still have to learn how to play with it and make the photos quicker or maybe not zoom so that I can do a bunch of pictures hoping to figure that out so I do the Parade on Wends and see what happens.......
