Shakedown 2003

Shakedown 2003
(and Girlie Girl's birthday)

July 25-27
somewhere, california

Needless to say Somewhere has always been rife with unpredictability...see last year...
but fortheloveofallthatisgoodandholy, I don't think anyone expected all that went on this weekend.
I realized too late that I forgot my flash, so anything taken at night had to be lit by fire. As luck would have it that wouldn't be a problem at all.
From booger and Sylkia's surprise arrivals to sudden head wounds...from Girlie's birthday entertainment to Skynyrd's Pallets of DOOM™
so much unbelievable weirdness ensued that I won't bother to try and encapsulate it.

So here's what made it to film.
Much didn't.
That's OK too.

---RETURN TO GIGSVILLE---

			Tawney...who has almost at this point shirked off her horibble new nickname "Globby" that she walked into at 'Y'
Ernesto...who was the first to arrive on Thursday (except for Leon and Venus who supposedly also showed up that night but for some reason turned around and went home)	Sometimes certain moments are just handed to you on a platter...		This is what began a weekend long fascination with tossing spray cans in the fire
Mikey	"My God...it's full of stars..."	Tessa...I love this photo of her...she looks like your favorite professor who would come to your parties, hold court while discussing feminist politics in the Mid East, leave just at the right hour and everyone would go "Damn, Professor Tess is so cool..."	Danger Girl
Whoa...proving he's got that gene	Melissa (who actually does enjoy hugs)		Girlie's birthday celebration begins
Patrick's Tawney wounds	Eno...who pulled together some kick ass shade	Mid afternoon "bump-wumping"
Hambone...he arrived just as I was going to bed You can tell from the angle I shot most of these from, that I pretty much stayed in the same position for 5 hours	Scout... who came down from San Fran with Catweasel	moi	take a moment and look at booger's expression
This was... ah, never mind...		Hippy's pockets	Elmo and Anna arrive
