Just wanted to say hi! It's been awhile.

you mean the Times square one? I walked on the site of Punk history without knowing? Wow!

Apparently yes It took up the whole block (I guess it was like a shopping mall of sorts), and now they are just part of it in the form of a restaurant called Bond 45.

I had breakfast at Bond 45 the last time I was there. Seems like everything on the menu had strawberries in it. Must have been a surplus on strawberries that spring.

LOL that was a random review. Was the food good though?

Yes, it was pretty good, as far as French toast with strawberries goes. I recall that service was slow. That was 2011 though, so it could be completely different now. And it was right next to our hotel, which is how we ended up there, not because we'd heard it was outstanding.

Brian just tweeted to me that he liked my photos from the weekend. My face is on fire from blushing.

Wow Lorraine, that's awesome!

It's been a few hours and I'm still excited.

Hell yeah, props from Brian is something to be excited about. He went out of his way to personally compliment your work. That's kickass.

I tweet the links to my stuff at bands cus sometimes they might RT it for their fans. But I never expect them to say anything to me directly, so this was a surprise! (still)

That is awesome

fuck yeah, Lorraine! i like the one from Saturday's set of Alex R. where his face is completely dark...seems very fitting for a seemingly shy kinda guy! just letting the music speak for him, kinda.
cool shots of Brian & the crowd having fun

I am so frickin nervous for tomorrow night. It is my first performace "gig" playing guitar and singing. I have never played infront of anyone before. :/

don't think i'd have the guts to do that, so i can't offer any advice, but that's awesome! have fun.
just think, most people will be encouraging.

Nice! Where are you playing?

haha. My work is having a charity event and a lot of people come to it but the people who were originally going to play cancelled so I decided to step up and give it a shot. I have to play 6-8. Haha, I only know covers........

Thanks Steph! I'll let you know how it goes. :/

Sweet, good luck. First time out is always tough, it only gets easier. The first time I played out, I was so sick I couldn't function the entire day. It gets better. Give em' a good show!

Haha, I wasn't nervous until today. I am getting a new tattoo before hand though so maybe that will calm me down.

I just did a Handwritten cover this morning....

What are you getting?

Getting, "We all want to be brave men and there's nothing romantic about it. I just want to know I what I could with what I was given." across my chest.

Its the final line from the new Wonder Years album. hell yea!

Cool. Nice little confidence builder before the show. Do some vocal warm ups before you sing, take a deep breath, enjoy it and have fun!

pardon my crudeness, but how big is your chest??

Thanks Steph! That photo of Alex R struck me as suitable because he's like you said, in the back doing his thing (as opposed to say an Eddie Van Halen). He does come to the front sometimes. But then he leans over and blocks out any light on his face ha But I thought it made for an interesting photo.

In another ego boost- I tweeted my photos of Danny Clinch to him too and he wrote back saying they were nice photos. So ...


Break a leg Chris! That's great you are taking a chance. I agree I'd never have the nerve to sing in front of a crowd!

Where can I see your photos, Lorraine?
