Lomo Mission #08: Eat It
This is one of my submissions for week #8 of our Lomo Mission Flickr Group.  The mission this week was “Eat It” - This is the graffiti in the “backyard bar” of The Jewish Mother, which is a local place to eat here in Virginia Beach.  This place has been an oceanfront staple for a long time.  The food is pretty good, there is always live music and it becomes more of a bar-type atmosphere at night.  Locals usually just call the place “jew mom’s.”

Next Weeks Lomo Mission:
Lomo Mission #09 : Number One

We’re looking for everything that comes first in your life and represents the best, the brightest, the very top, and the one-and-only numero uno. For this mission, second place just ain’t good enough.

This mission ends next Friday (08.31.07).

Have fun!! And don’t forget to tag your photo “lomo mission 09”.

About Lomo Mission
Every week a new Lomo Mission will be posted to get you out using your camera. The missions will come from the handy dandy Lomo Notebook unless we think of something more fun.

In keeping with the lomo style, the photos don’t have to follow the classic rules of photography… it’s about having fun and shooting without thinking.

You don’t have to use a lomo camera or photoshop a lomo effect but we’ll share info on cameras and photoshop tips and tricks in case you do want to give it a whirl.

Word.

It is so sad that summer is coming to an end.  Especially since we have really been enjoying our fun in the sun this year.  Dena, Nadine and I cannot think of any better way to beat the end of summer blues, then to throw an End of Summer Party!  WOOT!  We will find any excuse to drink Coconut Rum!  We threw one last year and had a blast, so we are bringing it back this year!

We had so much fun at last year’s Farewell To Summer Party, that we have decided to throw another one this year!  We plan to have just as much fun this year and we hope that you can make it and join in on the fun.  Just like last year, there will be plenty of food, drinks and jello shooters, along with a pool and lifeguard on hand for anyone wanting to go swimming.

Last year we partied like it was 1999 - this year we’re going to party like we’re rockstars!  Don’t you wish you lived near us?  Afterall, it is the best party EVAH!

One of my all time favorite skits from Saturday Night Live - The Bird Family. BEST.SKIT.EVER.

When my friend Dena finds a show on TV that she likes, she becomes dead-set on the fact that it should be your favorite show also. It starts out with her calling you and asking if you saw it, then the phone calls become more frequent, as she calls you every single time the show is on and asks you to drop what you are doing to watch it. When she feels that you are not taking her seriously, she steps it up a notch and calls you several times before the show comes on to remind you that it is coming on, then calls you during it to see if you are watching it, then instant messages you the following day to see if you watched it. You really have to love a friend to put up with this kind of shit on a weekly basis, but that is not the purpose of this post.

She recently fell in love with a show called John from Cincinnati that comes on HBO on Sundays at 9:00PM.

From the creator of Deadwood comes this new “surf noir” drama about a dysfunctional Southern California family galvanized by the sudden arrival of two strangers: a man out for revenge and a boy looking for surfing lessons. In Imperial Beach, California, the dysfunctional Yost family intersects with two new arrivals to the community: a dim-but-wealthy surfing enthusiast and man spurned by the Yosts years ago.

Well. after just 10 episodes, and after the season finale, HBO announced that they are cancelling the series, that I have yet to watch. Dena made me promise her this weekend that I would post about it and ask people to sign the petitions to keep it going, so I am keeping my promise. Please take a second and sign the petition to keep it going.
