I've started making computer desktop wallpaper from some of the photos from the project's shows.
Download them here. If there are any other photos from the project you would like as a wallpaper, email me (with your desktop dimensions) and I'll see what I can do...
It started with Ben Folds at Terminal 5 with the bonus of seeing Missy Higgins, someone whose name I had heard and meant to check out but hadn't. Then it was a pretty new NYC band School of Seven Bells. The following Friday I was back at Webster Hall to see the amazing Amanda Palmer (of the Dresden Dolls) with the usual entourage of artists she brings along. By the time I saw Grace Potter and the Nocturnals at Webster Hall, I was wondering if they sold season tickets...
I've always loved music and grew up seeing live shows all over Manhattan. Somehow I survived developing "musical arthritis," just listening only to bands from my youth.
In the fall of '08 I found myself seeing shows at Webster Hall three weeks in a row. I asked my friend if he thought it was the last gasp of my various mid-life crises. He said maybe, but that I should embrace it and see 50 shows in my 50th year.
The rest, as they say, is insanity...
