So random, so fun. Thanks Ashley!
Cleaning a Mop
There wasn't much for men on Western Avenue, until Weldon Jack came along and saved the day.
This is Abraham. He's been a little lazy on the grooming, but it was no problem for LT over at Weldon Jack. I tweeted out to the internet asking for people who needed haircuts badly, and Abe's wife was quick to respond. Abraham works as a sign language interpreter so people are definitely watching him. Here's how he looked after his mop got chopped.
He's a brand new man! Now people will be staring at his haircut instead of his hands. Thank you to Western Avenue for allowing me to do dudes like this a solid.
Plaza District Festival
I worked a 16 hour shift at this year's Plaza District Festival, but I felt like everyone worked a lot harder than me. Shrugs.
I mean, I guess there's value in my photos, and I served as an information relay center. Also, social media coverage was important.
It was weird "working" instead of waiting around and looking for moments to happen. Whenever I got a break, I took the chance to find moments.
Out of 16 hours, these were my keepers. Balancing the photo thing with the marketing thing can be difficult, but it keeps things fresh.
The first ever Mondo-Con
Lots of waiting in lines, but hey. That means it's good. It was mostly fans, but a lot of people who attended mainly to buy as much as they could to flip on eBay were there. I feel bad for the people who couldn't make it, and have to buy their stuff online.
And here's my haul.
Later that night, we went to a rooftop bar that I was totally not feeling. I made the best of it and snapped some pretty funny photos of the party-goers.

I'm off to Austin, TX for Mondo-Con this weekend. I'll try and update more often. Blogging has become a little tough since picking up the new part-timer at The Plaza District. We've been busy busy gearing up for The Plaza District Festival on Saturday, Sept. 27th.
I'm also planning some cool stuff for the rest of the year including an art show at Tree & Leaf, some more #WesternScout stuff, and more personal work. Stay connected: Follow me on Twitter & Instagram.
