Some funny pictures that Tim Goodwin took this Summer.

Mookie attacks!


The lovely couple embraces in a British sort of way.

no shame in the game.

You know, being a record store snob and all, I alll-ways have to remind myself: I'm only human. So I thought I'd take a moment from the constant exaltation of bands like Nine Inch Nails and The Decemberists and expose those albums that, come Hell or high water, I'll never, ever part with.

1_Phil Collins, NO JACKET REQUIRED. "Sussudio" and "Take Me Home?" Classics, my friend, classics. And the video for "Don't Lose My Number" was da bormb.
2_Janet Jackson, DESIGN OF A DECADE. I got this CD after not checking off the "don't-send-me-the-bmg-pick-of-the-month" box on my monthly bmg club thingy. So I got this, and then realized that Janet Jackson was the [scum bib] back in the day, but is nothing but [scum bib] now.
3_Extreme, EXTREME II: PORNOGRAFFITTI. If Nirvana and that whole Seattle-thing had never happened, then Nuno Bettencourt would no doubt have become the next Eddie Van Halen. But then again, after seeing what's happened to Eddie Van Halen, that might not be so savory a title.

Pix from the Tournament!

ADAM, PAUL NELLIS, and TIM had a fantastic time down in Atlanta learning how improv is done at Dad's Garage's DESTROY ALL IMPROVISORS TOURNAMENT!!! Above you see Dad's Improv Guru TIM as he readies to take us to the airport after the traditional all-night post-tournament party! Teams from Austria, Toronto, Edmonton, L.A., Atlanta...it was a great time, and we have so many people to thank: TIM and everyone else at Dad's, all the improvisors who showed us so many things and taught us so much, ALISTER for showing us how to really play dodgeball...too many to name. We were very lucky to be invited, and hope to see evryone again some day. As for us? 6th place!!! We'll show off our proudly-taken trophy to you soon. Thanks again, Atlanta...next year? Look out, 5th place!!! Here's how the deal shook out:

6th Place -- Team Rochester, from Geva!!!

5th Place -- Dad's Garage, from Atlanta!!!

4th Place -- Team L.A.: Joseph of Acme Theatre (he's actually one of the founders of Dad's)

3rd Place -- Team Toronto, Iron Cobra!!!

2nd Place -- Team Edmonton, from Rapid Fire Theatre

1st Place -- Team Austria!

One-half of the Tournament's Championship team -- JACOB of TEAM AUSTRIA -- hangs with GCI after the last night of the tournament!!!

Here's ALISTER, offspring of Dad's Garage legends GEORGE and LIZ, who's also quite the master of dodgeball!!!

Here's your sixth-place finishers, TEAM ROCHESTER!!! DAN, TIM, PAUL NELLIS, and ADAM. Who's DAN, you might ask? A Dad's Garage fella who grew up in the Roc, making Greece-Olympia his high school home!

Does eBay sell second-hand proton packs?

Our friendly neighborhood psychic investigators have conclusive documentation of ghosts at Geva Theatre!

WARNING: not for the faint of heart!

The afterlife: regular or decaf?

And this is only part (20%) of the evidence...
