Christmas in Cleveland

I enjoyed Christmas in Cleveland today by longboarding around and snapping photos of all the interesting things I came across! What a crazy time to be alive. Right now the Cavs are winning and the Indians just scored! If you're not from Cleveland I hope someday you get to experience something like we have this year with your sports teams. A lot of people don't care about sports but the way the Cavs brought everyone together was such an uplifting experience. It felt like everyone was family after they won and sort of during the parade. There were more issues at the parade but that's another story. I love how these two guys were cutting hair outside The Q. Cleveland is always hustling. Just so you know, I thought the picture of the guy in the Cubs costume was just hilarious, he was cool about letting me take his photo so I hate to capture it! I wonder if there as many Cubs fans in Cleveland as there were Toronto fans today? The one night I went out and there were literally more Blue Jays fans than Cleveland fans. I saw more Indians fans today for sure. Anyway, If you're a Cleveland fan or in Cleveland I hope you got to enjoy today either by watching the games or actually being downtown. Go Tribe! and Go Cavs! Also I hope Jim Thome gets to throw out the first pitch for one of the games. Great seeing Kenny! Those guys are from when I really was in love with baseball and they will always have a special place in my heart. Comment your favorite Cleveland moment ever below! Mine was running through the streets after the Cavs won the championship. It still doesn't feel real.

Modern Baseball @ Bad Racket

Modern Baseball came by Bad Racket to record some music! They were nice enough to let me take some photos! This is really awesome for the studio and I'm super proud of the hard work James, Hunter, and Henri have put into keep everything up and running. Keep an eye out for Live From Bad Racket videos coming soon! I posted two of my favorite Modern Baseball songs below!


I Got to Photograph the President of the USA!

I was lucky enough to be able to photograph the President of the United States of America!! I'm glad I got to see him while he's still the president. This election has made me very thankful for his thoughtful leadership and charm for sure. I think we will all look back and appreciate the 8 years we had with you. Whether or not your were happy with Obama or not please be sure to go out and vote. If you're able vote early do it! This way people who can't make it early can have a quicker time getting through the polls on election day! Also thanks to Louis for bringing me my CF card because I'm an idiot. 

 

Who Hit Me CD Release Show w/ Sweepyheads & The Village Bicycle

Who Hit Me's CD Release show at the Grog Shop was rocking! The Village Bicycle and Sweepyheads also killed it. I tried to get Who Hit Me to do an encore, they didn't. They played their whole album plus some other songs, so I guess I can forgive them. It was great to see a hometown show with such an awesome turn out. It was like a defacto family reunion. If you haven't check out some music from these bands I'll have all the goodness linked below. 

Who Hit Me - (Live From Bad Racket)

Who Hit Me recorded a Live From Bad Racket with us! I think it came out great! They have an album release show on Saturday and a new record out! Be sure to check it all out! I'll be at the show taking some photos! Hope to see you there!

Ingenuity Fest 2016

Ingenuity Fest this year was amazing. Music, art, science, comedy, and creativity all around. Not to mention giant swings and giant robots. The new location was great as well. It really allowed everything to flow well. I had the chance to take some photos of some great musical acts like Sweepyheads, Leggy, Goldmines, Price Rama, Fake Species & Times10, and many more! Jul gave us a shout out when we were at his set so that also made my day. I also was lucky enough to accidentally stumbled across the comedy stage. I haven't laughed that loud in public for a long time. I got to enjoy some acts like headliner Brian Kenny, John Burton, Cody Cooper, and more! Hunter and I helped out with the Unsuccessful Wrestling installation and it was a lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came out and gave it a try! Be sure to support this event and show everyone involved some love. Keep awesome things like this going in Cleveland.
