Random Boredom

I couldn't sleep last night, so I started playing with my camera the light on my Christmas tree. This happens somewhat frequently, with very few of the pictures actually being interesting because everything is very experimental. But I decided that I like how a couple turned out and figured that I would post them instead of hiding them forever on my external hard drive :)

WinterIndyTweetup!

Meeting of the tweeters in Indy. An awesome weekend of meeting new people, IndyCar, and fun. Friday night was dinner/drinks at Churchhill's. Saturday was the tour at IMS, with special surprise tour of the basement! Then several of us had lunch at 96th St Steakburgers, with karting at Fastimes after. Saturday night was capped with dinner, drinks, and merriment downtown at Scotty's Brewhouse. A big thanks go to @the_race_gIRL and @happyfish103 for making it happen.

Catching Up-Pittsburgh

In the middle of November I went to Pittsburgh for Pittstop Lindy Hop, a swing exchange weekend. The dancing was great, but the real reason I went was for Primanti's. And I managed to go twice :) Here are a few pics from the weekend!

Swing, IN is the yearly workshop/exchange in Indy. As an officer this year, it became my baby. But the committee rocked it out! The music was amazing, the venues were great, and everybody had so much fun!

(Better late than never) One of my pictures of the downtown Indy fireworks. They were rained out on the 4th and rescheduled for the 5th. This was taken from atop the parking garage next to Herron School of Art and Design.

Easter Weekend

Silence, I Kill You!! Infidel!!!

My birthday present from E was 6th row tickets to the Jeff Dunham show at Conseco in Indianapolis.  

Happy Birthday to Me!!

So I'm a few days late on this.  My birthday was Friday the 13th :)  I had a great time gettin in some fun dances at Fountain Square and Slippery Noodle.  The pic is with my friend Jess, who also was participating in the birthday dance at FS.  We decided to be different and started the dance together, and made others steal us from each other. =D

My New Thing

So, its been a really long time since I've posted.  Life has been crazy and fun.  I'm going to try a new thing that will get me back here a few times a week, and I hope you like it.  I'm going to be posting pictures that I've taken.. Some will be artistic, some will be favorites from swing, and there will probably be some that describe what I've been up to.. Enjoy!!
