Went and saw Luna last night....
They were fantastic! The only quibble I would have is that there was this annoying kid gooing Wooooooooooot right behind me the enire time and I had no voice to shout at him.... I felt like wacking him upside the head with my monopod, but I eventually resorted to silently screaming at him...it seemed to work!

Nice shot above...
Hot tubs will rock and I've got member coupons too
I've spent entirely too much money on toys from Madame S this week. Life will go on. Must stock up on good stuff while in SF...

I read an Encylopedia Brown story about drunken birds once. I don't think any of them died.
Those Cedar Waxwings do like to party. They make all kinds of noise.
You have no idea how good it feels to be done right now. I don't feel like anything's looming over my shoulder anymore. I can just get on with my life. Ah, the freedom!

It does sound like the 24-70mm f/2.8L is right up your alley, that would have been my recommendation if you've got the budget. Since you're doing PJ work, having the flexibility probably overrides sharpness/max aperture considerations. The Tamron really is pretty decent though, so if you can't spring for the L immediately you should consider it. Having a f/2.8 with the 20D is a great combination and in terms of the tradeoff in max-aperture you genuinely gain a stop over the 10D or comparable camera. I have absolutely no qualms about shooting in 3200, and push in RAW to over 6400 pretty regularly. I definitely recommend shooting RAW though, the 20D's JPEG output is pretty shitty in comparison.
As for toting around that much gear... I definitely think about it, but I don't really have any worries. Chapel Hill ain't exactly a high-crime neighborhood and people are very respectful of "real" photographers at the places I frequent. I don't carry around all my gear all the time - usually just three lenss - the 35, 85 and 135.

Yeah, good luck - it's notoriously hard to get. You basically just have to place an order and keep your fingers crossed. 
What I did was check stock with B&H and Calumet daily. I saw some stock come in at Calumet one morning, placed my order, and by the end of the day they were all gone!

I got a screen play from my friend yesterday...I forgot how hard it is to read screenplays.. I have been to engrossed in novels... Its pretty good, though needs some changing, but of course my pal in the typical writer fashion e-mailed me as soon as I had gotten the script in the mail that he had already re-written parts of it... Kinda cute him...

I had a great weekend thrift store window shopping and going out hiking in the wilds yet again.
I have some pics, but am to lazy to post any of them at this time as I just finished typing up another sock review. If you wanna see socky snaps from the weekend you can peruse there.

I liked my panashot til I noticed I completely missed some editing dead conter 
If I get in the mood I'll go re-edit that so it is finished. To the right you see the train station, Straight ahead is downtown and ahead & to the left is Pike Place Market. Directly behind me in that shot is Qwest stadium, that is where the show is held

The following is a universal posting to all those in my friends list...
So I'm sitting in class today and my mind is wandering to everywhere from the origin of the new and most popular culprit in poor health,"trans-fat" to why it is so hard for some people to realize that they should just make like lemmings... Anyways, I was also thinking of saying hello to my fellow SG peeps I have been removed from this past month, so HI!
As I am trying to expand my already gigantic library of music, I freely commission you to leave me the name of a band and/or a song or an album for me to check out. I would greatly appreciate it. Please no metal unless it's pre 1980. Thank you my friends.
PS ===> this is for all who have no idea what a MERKIN is... Enjoy!
