2/3/10 - Jimmy @ The Mercury Lounge

[SarahBeth]

Yep.  I couldn't resist a request;-)  It would have been nice to meet all of you Ours fanatics.

It was an excellent one, as I'd never heard it live before. So I thank you for that.

Next time, for sure, we'll have to meet up. (I was standing right up in front of the stage in a teal shirt off to Jimmy's right if you're looking at the stage). I try to get down to NY shows when I can swing it.

I just got home from NYC. I apologize to you all for not saying "hello." I'm painfully shy. It was an excellent show, as always. Far too short. There's really not much else for me to add except photos. They'll come along as soon as my husband lets me use his computer.

[SarahBeth]

Formica, was your husband wearing a tela hoodie and does he have glasses? Because I might have seen him from where I was standing.

So glad that you got to come up for the show, even if we didn't get a chance to meet up. I can't wait to see your pictures, all of mine came out dark, but I was surprised what was salvageable after loading them onto the computer.

Glad you got home safe and sound!

[Formica Linoleum]

Oh, no. My hubby has long hair, and had on a rainbow stocking cap, lol. You can see him (and his nose) in vino's videos (minus his hat, thankfully). I really want to look at my photos, I think I got a few good ones. The lighting was the worst ever. I had to push my camera to the limit, and even then it was still tough.

I need a desktop computer, seriously.

[SarahBeth]

Hmm, I didn't see him then.

The lighting SUCKED hardcore. I finally figured out that if I knelt down on the floor from where I was standing and worked with the light that Jimmy was standing directly in front of (Seriously, they couldn't have pushed it off to the side or something?), it was ok. I did throw out a lot and I had to lighten almost EVERYTHING, but I'm happy with what I got. The videos I got were slightly better.

I'm excited to see your pics.

[Formica Linoleum]

I REALLY wanted them to move the light. Jimmy was burning his ass, and I wasn't getting "easy" photos. It would have been a win-win. I'm going to try to pull myself out of bed early tomorrow to work up some photos before I have to go to work.

Oh, and don't be too excited about the photos, you might be disappointed. The lighting was just that bad, and I refuse to flash him.

Here are some photos...













And a smiley Jimmy for Sarah:




Complete crap, but great moments.

[SarahBeth]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SMILEY JIMMY! That just made my morning!!! <3

and i LOVE the second one down too. And the first one of Static.

Even with bad light, the pics are great!

ETA: And I refuse to use flash too, especially when I'm standing as close as I was. I don't love the way my pictures come out with flash anyway - especially if they're concert pics.

Formica, THANK YOU! Amazing pics...

[dancingaloneindc]

Formica: I'm certainly no photographer but I don't see HOW you can call those pics "complete crap!" They're lovely. Totally in the moment and kind of soft and raw, all at once. Thank you!

[Formica Linoleum]

I'm glad you like them, thanks.

[SarahBeth]

I'm glad you like them, thanks.

I'm not lying when I said I did a little happy dance in my chair at work this morning when I saw Smiley Jimmy. Thankfully, no one was around to witness said dance. Happy Jimmy makes me smile.

Jimmy's got a lot of fillings huh?

The look on his face is highly amusing.

I couldn't help but giggle a little, at first. His facial expression was priceless. He tried so hard to get the sound guy to turn the mic back up, but it didn't happen.
