meet me at the gardens

so much beauty and ceremony and sweetness and grace this past sunday at the wedding of kate and matt.
I got some really good b+w photos, but with the digital camera it was all about the fashion

you may have noticed an all new look to dokuchan hq, finally I get my reigning favorite color scheme. with big thanks to curt, and a request for patience from my visitors while I work on plugging in all the links and whatnot. looks like the side bar has migrated to southern climes, gotta work on that. what up, UK peeps? what up, canadians? I am very jealous of your universal health care and friendly demeanor. portland oregon is the closest I've found to the canadian vibe. what up, random person from flower mound texas, who's checked out the site 140 times and provoked my curiosity...who are you? I love stat counter, it creates so much new mystery in my brain.
above for your amusement, miles and wheezy the ferret that loves to steal your beer.

someones favorite

i got filmed for a fancy documentary film yesterday. thinking so hard about events of 12 yrs past gave me the notorious time travellers' flu, symptoms include general spacey vibe, detached gaze, and involuntary anecdotal regurgitation. no wait, that last bit is definitely a touch of the e. morris coli.
oh little birdies
actually I'm having a really good week

maya and craig are/were in town, they did a mural with klutch on belmont near 30th

I got to be a judge on the ultimate blogger photo challenge

blogger showdown

I was asked to be a judge for the "ultimate blogger" contest my internerd overlords are throwing. we would look over all the applicants (over 300!) and pick a pool of finalists.

the stack of apps
they expected it to be mostly among those in our net 'hood, the UrHo (mad props to my homies)
but suddenly there were people streaming in from all over the world. it was amazing.

we diligently read every blog, checked out every link.

the night grew long

finally we had our piles of no.s and yes-maybes.

then came the pontificating and the debating. we wanted it to be a good mix.


faces went up, faces came down.

serious deliberations

suddenly it was half past two in the morning

and we had our pool of finalists

the 12 competitors will be announced tomorrow morning on
www.urbanhonking.com/ultimateblogger/
you can see it all go down on their battle royale island of the bloggersteins
