weekend at nickel city

[nibot]

I went with a bunch of my housemates to Nickel City co-op this weekend, in Buffalo.

I didn't take too many pictures, but here are a few.


We cooked dinner in Nickel City's awesome kitchen. Those countertops are made from old bowling alleys. That's Adrien from NASCO chopping the cabbage.


We ate dinner and talked the issues facing about our co-ops.


There was a bit of a jam session.


Ant Hill Co-op officers' meeting at Boulder Coffee Co. pallas_marisa joined us for the evening, and we met some of the awesome people from South and Elmwood too.

Wait, you know pallas_marisa from Berkeley? Small world. Get this: she's my ex-roomie's (http://www.livejournal.com/users/stellarbaby/) sister's (http://www.livejournal.com/users/meemoo/) friend. I think I met her in Grenoble (that's Grenoble in my userpic) while visiting ex-roomie's (and ex-roomie's sister's) family.

wait. and who are you? and what is dapaong?

You may be thinking of a Marissa from Ridge, as opposed to this Marisa from Stebbins.

Yeah, I met lexicat and confuseme back in '96 in queenofhalves and cloudycloud's dorm room. That's way before stellarbaby was in town, though. When did you come by our place? '03? Anyway, I see you've been over chillin' with the Boston people. This is a strange social tangle we've got going on.

It was wicked to have y'all. We're moving the house to Rochaha as we speak.

wow, those shots are really sharp for 1/8" exposure... you lug a tripod around, or are your hands just that steady?

[nibot.livejournal.com]

I'm impressed that you noticed. I was surprised, too, at how sharply they came out. They are all stabilized by bracing the camera itself or my elbows against chairs, doorframes, the floor, etc.

wow. well done. i particularly like the lighting in the 4th one.

(i'm a few months into my digital camera honeymoon period, so i've been paying unhealthy amounts of attention to such things)
