I took the camera out of the shipping box, charged it for 30 minutes, and went to this show, manual in hand. Luckily enough, the controls were really intuitive. I had to reduce the pixel quality of these photos A LOT (from a capacity of around 8 megapixels down to 2) so that I could take more than two shots (the camera's memory is only 16 MB by itself -- I have to buy a memory stick for this beast).

As I continue to work at it, I should be able to get better results, and learn how to post them more properly with aligning HTML text & pictures.

I was a psychiatric nurse at the time. I just started writing stuff to kill time on summer evenings. This is why I'm always telling people who ask me what they need to do to succeed to give up, do something else. Because giving up and doing something else (nursing, for me) was exactly what eventually led me to making music that other people wanted to hear. People will complain that they don't want to wait around for lightning to strike, but why not? If you invest yourself in chance, the potential for disappointment is pretty low.

A bit of extreme advice, but I have heard similar musings from a couple other respected people.

timeline.

WED: Final day of work at Albertson's.
THURS: Free admission to Tom Petty/The Strokes show in Gainesville.
FRI: We Are Scientists w/ Art Brut at CDU, Tallahassee (also free).
SAT: "An Afternoon with Kevin Smith," Orlando (paid for this one). If back to Tallahassee in time, and it is not sold out, I will buy entrance to Less Than Jake (don't think I'll be able to catch it, though).
SUN: Freak out about how much stuff I haven't done/have to do.
MON, TUES, or next WED: Good possibility of interviewing Lady Sovereign.
