Some random comments to be elaborated on at a later date

- I saw one of the best shows of my life last night, thanks to domestinatrix. A venue the size of my dining room and kitchen (which makes sense, since the venue is part of the living space of one of the bands), brilliantly talented musicians (Jason Webley, Estradasphere, and Amanda Palmer), and the first live appearance of Evelyn Evelyn. (kambriel, the dress you made for them was lovely.) I did manage to take some photos of Evelyn Evelyn; I will try and get them uploaded in the next day or so, if they aren't complete crap. I also got to watch domestinatrix give a jar of homemade raspberry jam to Amanda and nearly expire from fangirl delight. It really was a magical sort of event, and I was extremely lucky to be there.

- Why the hell do I suddenly kinda-sorta want a Polaroid instant camera? I mean, I've always been charmed by them, but I think this new-found "Oooh, that would be fun!" impulse comes from seeing a babyfaced alterna-girl type at last night's show (who couldn't have been more than 15, and was some sort of hybrid between punk, scenekid, and new wave) who had brought a Polaroid camera with her, and was having grand fun with it. I know, I know, me and my oddball whims.

OK - I just listened to Evelyn Evelyn on their MySpace page, and I really like them! Cute, clever, and have a great old-time feel on their first song.

Do you really want to go through the hassle of scanning Polaroids? I've never been too fond of their color & sharpness, either.

They *just* officially discontinued Polaroid film about two weeks ago. :(

They've announced the end of the instant camera, actually...

Even though in previous posts it was mentioned they are discontinuing the Polaroid cameras - I happen to have one I don't use any more and you'd be welcome to use and enjoy it for as long as you can still find film for it. Just let me know and I can get it to you at some point.

Really? Thank you, that would be wonderful.

[javagoth.livejournal.com]

Yep - I can bring it to the next girl game or see if we can arrange something sooner than that if you like. I'd be happy to see it go to someone who will enjoy it while they can. :)

I should really spend more time watching who is coming into town.
I am sure it was an awesome show.

I hadn't even gotten a chance to announce that outfit yet, were you able to guess it was one of mine? That's really cool to hear about (and I'm super-wishing I could have been in Seattle to see the show!) :)

I recognized your work!

They were absolutely charming, if very shy.

Polaroids have an immediacy and a whimsy that digital just doesn't touch. They are their own variant of crack.

Polaroid cameras are so fun for fooling around with :)

[flyingtapes.livejournal.com]

I think Polaroid is awesome, but I don't think I'd get one now! They've announced they're not going to produce the film anymore. :(

I haven't seen Jason in ages. I was just mentioning him the other day and thought I should look up when and where he is playing. I think I own all his cd's.
