Snapshot from a few minutes before Muse took the stage to open the U2 concert at Cowboys Stadium: for those who want to see the inside of the new stadium, the JumboJerry screen, or the ostentatious stage design known as “The Claw.”

October 12th, 2009Defending the Alamo (from vicious Midlothian criminals)
October 12th, 2009
It had long been rumored that on the property of the childhood home of one of my friends stood a nearly life-size replica of the Alamo. During a road trip while I was in college I had been to the Alamo in San Antonio (another story for another day), but I had never been to this friend’s home since he was someone I met while I was in college. However, on this fine afternoon, as I had traveled south to DeSoto to hang with a mutual friend, we decided the time was right to head a few paces further south on US-67 to go see how real this historical site dubious spectacle actually was.
Turns out the stories were true. I wonder if his pops did any drugs in the sixties…

Song Kran 2009
May 7th, 2009My Bangkok comrade Justin Bratton produced this video by splicing downloaded highlights of the protests into footage we shot of our festivities. For those of you who have to yet to partake, Song Kran is a three-day celebration of the Thai New Year and is indeed commemorated by drenching everybody else in sight (we are not simply weirdo expats with a fetish for Super Soakers and water balloons). And in 2009, thousands of “Reds” were simultaneously attempting a Coup d’etat. Good times.

Door to the stall in the men’s bathroom of an office building where I taught a class on the 36th floor. When I study this picture and think about its suggestive meanings, I realize how difficult it would be to find such a piece of artwork in a similar building in the U.S.
