Last night's Haints' hootenanny was even better than last week's....I'm so glad that Kepi teamed w/ the Helper Monkeys again for "Jackie Howard" so that Cory could hear it - he was just as impressed as I was. It's amazing how beautiful and sad that punk song sounds when it's slowed down and played on an acoustic guitar. Absolutely gorgeous. Also great were renditions of "Route 66" and "The Algebra Song" - which is still one of my favorite Kepi songs ever.

I did take some pictures but I used my new Pop 9 Lomo camera so I won't be able to post them til I finish the roll and get it developed. Speakin' of photos, we're going to the State Fair tonight to camp out to see the Go-Go's and I'm hoping we can sneak in a quick trip to the photo booth (though I know we'll definitely visit the booths during our annual trip w/ Kepi & Roach)...if we do, I'll try and scan the strip in...provided that it, uh, meets approval from all parties.

I absolutely love photo booths - Cory got me this book on the subject earlier this year - it's got amazing old photobooth photos dating back to the early 20th century. Someday I'd like to do some sort of multi-media project and/or historical overview of photo booths - they seem to be a dying icon of instant gratification and self-absorbtion. I remember there used to be one in the Woolworth's downtown (but they took it out even before Woolworth's went bankrupt), I have some great photos from that booth, some w/ friends, some by myself...does anyone know of any other Sacto-area photo booths (and I'm not really interested in the kind that produce those mini-stickers - it's just not the same thing) - or can my love and fascination for them only be satiated at the fair?
