Iowa Gothic

Jesse and I went on a road trip a ways back. Here are some images from that trip, provided with the occasional commentary.

































I love the fact that “Loafing” was prohibited.


I had to have this picture taken as 1 of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies (Taxi Driver) is when Robert DeNiro takes his date to the porn theater because he doesn’t know any better.






















The chick that ran this place was awesome & I think we were her favorite guests of the day.






There aren’t enough buildings in Iowa that are marked where a ship ran into them.










Tebow!






Anybody who knows the exact reason why we stopped to take this picture is one of my favorite people in the world.







I am already looking forward to our next road trip. Maybe a couple more people will join us. If interested, forward your Road Tripping Resume to me. We will be looking for people with a sense of adventure and a large bladder. The bladder size is negotiable.

These pictures came from backup/Old My Pictures/UnHingd

These are a mixture of concert pictures from an Iowa State game, practice and recording their first demo.
































This night proved to me that recording isn’t much fun. After hours and hours of setup, Zach was ready for a nap.








The phallic nature of the “I” was a constant source of debate.














This is a Jay Janson Photoshop original.

Next week’s folder will be:

I’m not really sure about most of these pictures, but I think a couple of them might be pictures of the old Bennett coal mine in Rippey. However, that is just a a best guess.

There aren’t many pictures this week as the negatives were cut very short.
