Fight the Fight

So last saturday was a big day.  We got up and motored up to West Lafayette for a Mid-Century Home Tour before heading back to hit the NIN/JA concert back here in Indy.

But first, there's the first image.  Don't mean to rub it into one of my more loyal readers, but it was good.  It's only something that happens every few years, but a drive-up root beer stand is such a nice piece of Americana...  This is a newer one that has popped up since my time in West Lafayette at Purdue.  And this would have been pretty close to where I lived.  Too bad...

The Mid-Century Architecture tour was put on by two Indiana organizations centering around Historic Preservation - an issue near and dear to our hearts.  That and we've been fostering a love for Mid-Century Modern for the past many years.  It was a pretty good tour, but it's transportation system was not well done, and photography policy should have been part of the literature leading up to it.  I may or may not blog about this specific tour.  I'm leaning towards not because none of the photos really came out as I hoped.

We made a few stops on the way back to Indy, and the NIN/JA show was very great that I'll dedicate a full blog to soon.  A few quick things:

• Trent is even more awesome than usual for allowing cameras
• Street Sweeper Social Club is really, really good live (the recordings I've heard don't really do them justice)
• The NIN set was great, but I'm increasingly sad that he's claiming it's going to be the last tour
• Jane's Addiction was a little disappointing...  But not completely...

I do have a set of photos on Flickr for the images I took just that day (here's a link to the set)...  I have something like 7-8 gb of images from that day...  Mostly in RAW format, so it's not like I have thousands of images...  just hundreds.  At first pass, I think I have at least 20 images I'll post over time.
