A Short for a Cloudy Evening

In June I went to see my favorite band from when I was about 11 years old; Hanson! They eventually lost my favor to Glenn Miller and Modest Mouse, but until then they held the heart of an adolescent. I heard they were in Sydney and happen to have a few tickets left. I ended up on the dance floor with 200 of my fellow 30ish-year-old fans who have followed them for the last 20-odd years. One has not lived until singing MmmBop with Hanson.

A small accomplishment was finally catching a lizard on film. These little guys run all over Sydney, but always dive for cover the moment I walk by. This fellow was sun bathing and posed while I hovered with a giant lens. He's about 2.5 inches long and laying on the corner of a cinder block.

On a side note, I applied for a second year visa in Australia. My application was rejected, so I am heading back State side in a couple weeks. More travel plans in the works! In the meantime, here's a picture of me tickling a shark.
