Arts & Crafts Wedding

This time last year, my co-workers and I entered a poster contest and came in second to last place. This year, it's on.

Megan's friend, Liz, stopped in Chicago to try bridesmaid dresses.

Rachel (i.e. Tachel) is my "niece of the future." So, we went to her last swim lesson, which was far more entertaining that I thought. It was like watching people teach cats to swim.

You would think this guy would keep the snakes out of the basement...

Nothing like lugging around suitcase at a festival...

Vampire Weekend is this generation's Genesis.

More hiding from the sun

SNOOP DOGG! Great show. I think he should have been a headliner. Surprisingly, the best show of the festival. Lots of irony. A test in irony in many ways. Great performance!

This is what a few hundred thousand people looks like

Resting up before the finale

The Killers: Brandon Flowers-I love you band. But you need to shut up when you are playing a concert. You have a 1 1/2 hour limit and no one wants to hear your pointless stories. Otherwise, good show!

The rest of summer is shaping up to be very, very busy as well...
