I was just watching some stuff about the Montreux Jazz Festival on the local TV station and saw a guy who had been filming some spots while I was waiting for the Beastie Boys. Interesting, I thought, that's who he was shooting for. Then they showed me, sitting in the line.
I could tell it was me because I was the only one in line. Yeah, I know what you're thinking: that's not really much of a line. And it wasn't, but it's where the line would eventually be, and so I'm going to call it the line, even if I was the only one there.
I've sometimes had people ask me about the people I shoot on the street... how would I feel if someone did that to me? Turns out I don't really mind. And it's happened for me with pictures before that I know of, and I'm guessing I've been in a few more that I didn't see. My only regret is that I don't usually get to see it after.
Maybe I don't watch enough TV.
[EDIT] Well, at least I'm not alone. As one of three people who regularly watches the Montreux update, I saw they got Natalie for a reaction coming out of a show the next night. Unfortunately, I had turned the sound down to listen to something else, so I have no idea if she enjoyed Tori Amos as much as I did when I saw her (mistakenly thinking she was Paula Cole) a few years back. More, I hope...

The less tivee you watch, the more of a life I suspect you have. That's my philosophy anyway. Unless you're just on the computer all the freakin' time.
You must really love them Beastie Boys, being first to... um... suggest a line. Did anybody come eventually to keep you company?
How was Norah Jones? She's been keeping ME company as I've been getting my summer plants set up on my deck... yay.
Well, not a huge fan, but it's a way better show and about 10° cooler to be at the front instead of three guys back, so I like to get there early. Eventually there were others, but it was a bit strange, all in all. And that's all I'm going to say about that until the Annual Concert Review comes out.
Norah is tomorrow, and she's going to be fantastic.
