The corner of Rich's bar upstairs. I didn't use a flash so the long exposure blurred this shot. Rich is actually in this picture, but moving around like The Flash. 61K
|
The back of Rich's head. My hand is getting more steady. Must not move. 59K
|
Impatient, I set the camera on the bar and take a picture. Rich is blurred because he is still The Flash. 59K
|
Noticing the bad angle, I rotate the camera to the right slightly for a nice shot of the corner. The secret office door is to the right. 58K
|
Generic picture of people dancing. No, I did not single out anyone when I took this picture. I just held up the camera (in the dark) and snapped. 61K
|
This is a better shot, to the right of the folks from the previous photo. Notice the arm positioning. That's what 80's style looks like in 2000. 61K
|
Not sure who this is. Coincidence that she was pointing her fingers like that (while dancing). Just more dancing. 61K
|
Dance the night away. Or not. 61K
|
The blonde leading the fake redheaded blonde. 60K
|
The older guy in the back, to the left is either running in place or doing The Robot. 61K
|
More generic dancing shots. See? People are having fun despite the dirt. 60K
|
They tell me a phone used to exist outside the entrance to the bathrooms. Why did they put it in that tiny intersection? Must have been a guy who thought of it. 62K
|
This is Tom's life-long friend Karen. The guy lacking eyebrows is her friend. This illustrates the point that eyebrows are important. 58K
|
Attempt #2 of getting Karen and her dude in frame. This didn't come out like I'd hoped. Must be the lack of eyebrows throwing off my aim. 61K
|
Tried again. I later found out Karen was only 15. Wondering how she can be Tom's lifelong friend at that age. Requested Little 15 by Depeche Mode. 60K
|
Tom. He didn't like this picture. I think it's okay. What is that glistening on his cheek? 60K
|
Another shot of Tom. Not so much glistening. I may have to PhotoShop that out. In April. 58K
|
Very good shot of Tom looking solemn and zen-like. He liked this one the best. 57K
|
Taken from the pespective by Rich's bar (upstairs) looking towards the exit. There is a phone booth in the corner that is supposed to be free, but it's usually broken. 59K
|
Another shot of the upstairs sitting area (with brighter flash). It's not paradise, but you can actually speak (and be heard) here. 60K
|
Another great shot of the back of Rich's head. He's reaching down to get some fresh supplies. Nice cabinetry. 59K
|
The guy who works the front register, Dick's ex-fiance, and Laura. Laura doesn't like this picture. I believe the exact word she used was 'horrid.' 61K
|
Tom again speaking to his lifelong 15 year old friend Karen. They're talking about British diplomacy and the CIA. 58K
|
Karen ponders which is cooler: N'Sync or The Backstreet Boys. Britney or Christina. Hmmm. 57K
|
Freaky overhead shot of dancers from the upstairs bar. Can't make out who is who, but it still looks purty. 57K
|
Better shot. The far bar (back in the corner near the downstairs exit) is in view and well lit. The guy down there makes terrible Bloody Marys. Bleah. b
|
One last overhead shot of people downstairs. This only looks good when the lighting is just right. Here it is just wrong. 60K
|
Two dancers and one dirty floor. I like the tattoos. The stockings are good too. But check out that dude's checkered collar back to the left. 61K
|
This photo lends credence to the theory that attractive girls often travel (and dance) with unattractive girls. 60K
|
The stage. During concerts this area is extended to the edge covering up the steps/chairs as well as most of the filth. 61K
|
First attempt to take a picture of the upstairs bar from the dance floor. It's up there, trust me. 60K
|
Another poor attempt at dancing photography without a flash. The coat/hat check counter is in the distance. 62K
|
Better shot of dancefloor. The spaceship looking thing in the top left is the DJ booth. It looks cooler in this picture than in real life. 62K
|
This guy is wondering if Castaway will topple What Women Want at the box office. 60K
|
The camera from the perspective of the stage. Keanu Reeves stood there a couple years ago. What's there now? A box of Shipley's donuts, I think. 61K
|
Cool shot from the stage right speaker of the dancefloor. Red light hit everything at just the right time. 59K
|
Liking what the last shot looked like, I rotated the camera back to the dance floor and snapped when the magic red light hit. 60K
|
A shot of me. I thought I'd take advantage of the red light and prove that it was in fact me who took these pictures. 57K
|
I'm leaning a little more in this shot. Overhead light doesn't flatter my haircut. Must get it chopped. Thinking about going for the Gladiator look. 58K
|
Darn. The red light didn't hit me this time, so I am not visible. I kept it anyway, out of vanity. 59K
|
Another failed attempt at making myself look good. You can barely see me in this shot (hence keeping it for vanity, again). 58K
|
Gwen threw her hands up in the air after learning about the breakup of The Smashing Pumpkins. "Awwww, man!" exclaimed Gwen. In the distance, Daniel Harris is speechless upon hearing the news. 60K
|
The checkered collar guy leans over to his girlfriend and whispers, "I'm wearing my mom's underwear again!" 60K
|
An entering patron has her palm checked before entering. Wouldn't want to let any runners in tonight, the Sand Man noted. 60K
|
Closing her eyes and pursing her lips, Molly Atkins does her famous dead fish impression for the coat check counter staff. 61K
