Carey's Bonfire or Saturday Part 2 kinda
Category: photos
I had a good time at (e:theecarey)'s bonfire Fiesta. I admit I didn't eat much and there where a bunch of people I didn't know and didn't say much but still had a good time. I will admit I didn't think I would make it there but I have to thank (e:mike) who had room in his car. So here are the pictures. Oh one other thing I wanted to add was last night I saw one of I think the coolest Family guys I've seen in a long time. It was there star wars episode. I think my favorite might have been at the end when Chris (voiced by Seth Green I believe) calls his dad out that Robot Chicken did a star wars show like 3 months ago and then Peter goes on to say something like it isn't a real network and that like only 10 people watch it when he lists the real networks fox isn't mentioned either. Oh yeah on a another side note the new season of Heroes starts tonight. Ok now on to the pictures.

In terms of the fire pictures it looks like most of them came out or will come out good. The thing is that if you use a flash and are able to make it bright enough to see the people good than that most of the time makes it bright so you can't really see the fire. The above pictures where in order but these fire pictures won't be.

Very soon the fire was going to get very hot when you get to the pictures with the high flame you will know what I mean.

When we first arrived we heard that later on the donkey would be braught out hey it was a mexican theme we thought we would get to see or maybe even partake in a donkey show but it turned out to be A pinata. After the pictures I got there was some fun had with a donkey head I can't wait to see how those pictures of I think (e:theecarey)'s camera but here are my pictures.

Those above should have been in order. Once the donkey got smashed opened it was determined that there was stuff still in there so it got kinda put back together and destroyed more. Here is what should be the last set of pictures from Carey's Birthday Bonfire Party.

Sorry (e:ladycroft) to mention how one thing reminds me about something about you again. But this party did a little bit. Of course the fire part did and your graduation party. But it also reminded me of how at both parties there where kinda these two groups of people there that generaly didn't interact with each other that much. But that is kinda natural when you have two groups who know the people in the own group and socialise with each other naturally. I'm not saying that the groups didn't interact at all. I also think that it is more common then people realise. That being said I had a great time and can't wait to see some more pictures from the party online. Hope you all enjoyed my pictures and didn't get tired of all the fire ones.

LOL @ the donkey piƱata comment!
museumchick - 09/25/07 12:08
Wonderful pictures, as always!

Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts about religion on my recent post. I've still been thinking a lot about what you said, and appreciated your comment.

Those were really good shots.
theecarey - 09/24/07 21:56
ps he's not only the documenter, he's the "Peterazzi"
theecarey - 09/24/07 21:55
awesome job Peter!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking all of those pics. It was great to see you in my neck of the woods. Its great to see more of what was going on than what was taken with my camera (that I didnt use, but others used)

You are totally right though.. at all of the parties.. there is always a divide. But its natural. As long as people have a good time.
paul - 09/24/07 21:01
Wow, that is a lot of pictures. What would we do without you peter. You are the documentor.

Blogtober fest (2nd post of the day)
Category: event
So saturday I was running late for everything it seems but I still got to see two movies. The second Movie I saw was Dragon Wars. I really liked it and liked that it had a story line. I did find it kinda funny that the one Dragon looked like a huge Cobra but it was part of the story line that it looked like that. If you like dragons then you will like this movie. The first movie I saw was Mr. Woodcock. Maybe it is just me but I did like it but thought it would be better then it was. It seemed like they may have snuck in that it was a date movie. I don't mean a chick flick but I could be wrong about that. So when I got home came on line and asked if I could tag along to Blogtoberfest with (e:pmt) . Paul got back to me and there was room so to (e:Paul) and to (e:Mike) who drove thanks. I will admit that these pictures won't be in order. I also admit that I'm not sure how the pictures will look. On my camera they all looked bright but on the screen they all look dark so we shall see.

There are a few things that I don't get about what went on. Why was the Blog Tables all the way in the back. If I was going to reserve tables they would be up front near the band. They would also be right near the enterance that way when bloggers walked in they would find it right away I might even put up a sign. I don't think we where the only bloggers there I think that there was no way for use to know the others and vice versa. I wish my pictures of the dancers would have came out better. I'm guessing I wasn't close enough so all the light from the flash just spread out but not sure. After the event Mike got a ticket that so wasn't his fault really. You had all these streets coming together and he did go through a green light but I guess there was a second light that he went through that was red and he almost hit two motorcycles who we later found out where cops. We did get a little lost going to (e:theecarey)'s place but through the use of cell phones got there. That will be my next post. Hopefully Monday Little short on time right now. Hope you enjoy the pictures and hope they are decent hope everyone had a great weekend.

Nice. Can't wait for part two
carolinian - 09/23/07 20:19
Thanks for your efforts to document the event for those like me who couldn't attend. Three cheers for (e:strip)'s visual historian!

Jackdaw and Dropkick
Category: music
In my previous post I mentioned that one of the things that made me reflect back to other recent events was the Jackdaw and dropkick murphey's show. At the time I hadn't downloaded my pictures yet. So I thought I would put them up here. Not sure how good they will be do to the distance and light but here they are.

Not sure how good or bad any of those pictures are but I had a good time other then getting crushed by the expanding pit. It was also fun to watch all the crowd surfing to.

I like the one where you snapped via a glass! :)

The past repeats itstelf thoughts
Category: reflection
I will admit I have been thinking about the recent past lately. It isn't that I have been deep thinking or any thing it just that a few events make me remember other events in the past. It is kinda odd that all the events tie back to (e:ladycroft). When I was at the square it dawned on me that I think the last time I saw Jackdaw seems like a long time ago and I think it was a year ago St. Patrick's Day when I ran into (e:ladycroft) and (e:Jenks), I remember it was a good time I'm not positive that my memory is correct but that is what my mind believes anyway. Then as The Dropkick Murphey's are playing and everything is nuts and I'm get squished by people because the pit got huge and I wasn't in it but was still effected by it I thought back to how I tried to avoid them years ago before (e:strip) at warped tour. Last week I heard an Ad for Trans-sibieran Orchestra and thought back to how fun it was last year and how great a concert it was. Then I thought maybe I should go again and remembered that it would make it 3 years in a row thanks to the awesome ticket (e:ladycroft) gave me since she couldn't go. The third thing is that coming up in October I'm going to see Henry Rollins at the Town Ballroom, that brought up the memories of when I went and picked the wrong side of the stage. See I have this thing where I have this area I like and I pick either right or left and I picked left and then picked a spot in a chair on the floor. But if I would have picked right then I would have been in the same Area as (e:Jason), (e:Theecarey), and (e:ladycroft). I still had a good time and everything but that would have been so much cooler. I kid you not I was just outside on the porch with my sisters cat and the thought hit me that I'm going to some hockey games this year and didn't go to any last year but I could have sworn the year before One of the games I went to was the same game (e:ladycroft) went to with "her Kids" that is if memory serves me right. I don't really like to look backwards I think nostegila can be dangerous and if you think about the good things then that can bring up bad things and things you want to forget. But the thing that is odd is these thoughts are just coming to me, like out of no where. I'm not saying that they are bad thoughts, just something that doesn't happen for me. In any even for anyone who reads this sorry for the long paragraph form and any bad grammar is bad spelling, hope everyone has/had a great weekend.

TSO is doing the double show thing and I'm going to the 3:00pm should be a good time, Wish I had a video camera and that I could sneak it in and record the entire show for ya. Spoken word is to me a new and kinda strange thing when I first went didn't know what to expect and hopefully this time will be just as good as if not better then the last time he was here. I doubt I will get to meet him but if I do I will mention it.
ladycroft - 09/23/07 03:45
awwwwww! i know you wrote that for you peter, but that was a sweet trip down memory lane :) i'm jealous you get to see rollins again! -and tso -and hockey! write a nice review for me. and if you run into henry tell him to get his ass to qatar- it's still waiting to be conquered by his wonderfully dark humor!

Kid Nation Kitchen
Category: tv
I know that a lot of people think that reality TV is garbage. There is some truth to that. I know some people say the camera men effect stuff and might even interfear and that might be true. But tonight at 8pm on CBS Ch. 4 there is a show that looks like it will be pretty cool called kid nation. This is what I know 40 days, 40 kids and no adults. I guess the kids have to start or run a town. If I had even seen the movie "lord of the flies" I'm sure I would really be into this. But I think this show could be very entertaining and insightful if they do it right and just let the science experimant fly and film it.

For those of you who like Kitchen stuff, or Chef that famous guy from Hell's Kitchen has his new show on fox tonight. If I had ever worked in a resturent I would watch it but I'll be watching Last comic standing. I have no idea how the final is going to take 2 hours but it should be interesting. That reminds me for you fans of Heroes it starts back up on Monday I think but not sure.

Gordon Ramsay - he can definitely cook. Gordon Ramsay Chelsea is consistently one of the top British restaurants. He is a perfectionist, but I always like the advice he gives to people - keep it simple, and keep it fresh and made to order.

Of course, he bollocks people constantly, but part of that is TV entertainment, as well as his method of getting the most out of people and pushing them to perform to their limit. I don't know if I could work for a guy who uses this tactic, but it seems to get results.
metalpeter - 09/19/07 18:44
I admit that I don't know if he can cook either. But I do know that when his first show was on FOX they used some term like famous chef or world renounned. I'm not sure if that was because he was famous or if it was because he was an amazing chef. What looks so interesting about this new show is that he is going to go to real places that sell food and it looks like he is going to rip people a new ass hole for poor kitchen conditions.
jbeatty - 09/19/07 18:37
Gordon Ramsey rules! I have never seen Hells Kitchen but I want to see this new show. As far as whether he can cook? I'm assuming the Michelin Guide doesn't give out 3 stars to any old schmo in clogs and checks.
mrmike - 09/19/07 18:32
I'm looking forward to the Hell's Kitchen guy. He does the same show on the BBC and it is fun to watch. No idea if he can actually cook, but it is a hoot to watch him screech at somebody about gravy texture.
