The Gang
So the LA Polaroid Nerd Out went off, went down, blew up, activated, was off the chain.

Start time of 11 am, myself, Kim and Tod Brilliant sit, waiting.

1130 i'm convinced it's a bust, nobody's gonna show, Polaroidjesus was just joshing us about renting a car and driving down from SF, we three are super nerds who will never speak of this again.

1145 i am working hard to convince tod to let it go, to work through the stages of grief and accept that our dreams have turned to ash. i buy a slice of pepperoni pizza.

1154(or thereabouts) Brian Cowe shows up. We are now four. Still tiny, but just him showing up has changed the day, we are now a group, thank babyjesus.

1201 bluecitrus and drew baker(of Polanoid fame) arrive, out of the blue. six whole people, the whole tone of the day has changed. we chat, everything is smooth, drew stuns us with his amazing 110a. if you don't know what i'm talking about, then you don't know what i'm talking about.

1210 we get up from our table, having decided to find better light, walking out of the market proper into the open air mall. Polaroidjesus, much like his namesake, materializes, Miamizeiss at his side. It is fucking on.

the rest of the day is everybody taking pictures of everyone else, we all get along like old friends, nobody's cranky, or pushing, or annoying, we photograph, we eat, we go to the top of the Grove parking structure, take more pix, get kicked out by Grove security(that's a story all in itself, too much for tonight) and we all part as new friends.

Fucking awesome. More to come.
