Megan on a typical Saturday

Megan was doing her normal Saturday routine:
1. Wake Up
2. Change into a mu'mu.
3. Facial.
4. Dance with a quart of paint.

I love this woman!

MEGAN & DANIEL go to the BOB GRUEN OPENING!






So this week Megan and I went to a really cool Bob Gruen photography exhibit at the "Morrison Hotel" gallery at the old CBGB space. CBGB closed down last summer after years of being the historic underground home of punk rock on the Bowery. CBGB is where the Ramones, Blondie, Sex Pistols, and many more famous punk rock bands got their start. Bob Gruen is probably the most famous photographer to make pictures of all of these bands. His most iconic images are of John Lennon... (see above)

Since I was almost positive that Bob Gruen would be there, I googled his photograph beforehand so I could recognize him at the event. I knew he was a middle aged man with curly hair. When we arrived, I spotted him standing out front. So I approached him and asked "Bob- can I get a photo?" Here it is...

After this photo was taken, "Bob" leaned over and said "I'm not Bob Gruen, he is," pointing to this man:



My mistake. The first guy ended up being David Golless (sp?) and is a some-what found photographer as well.

The event was pretty cool. Debbie Harry of "Blondie" and some other band members even showed up... (we like our city)

Meg is sick! (or was last week)


You may have heard that Megan has been kind of sick. No it wasn't a Denny's Grand Slam. But we do suppose it was something she ate. Anyway...she seems to be doing better.
