Savoy

Every time I hear the name "Savoy" I always think of Johnny Dangerously.

"There's a message through the Grapevine, Johnny."

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Johnny and the Mothers are playing Stompin' at the Savoy in Vermont tonight."

"Vermin's gonna kill my brother at the Savoy Theater tonight!"

"I didn't say that."

"Yeah, but I know this Grapevine."

Anyway, the Savoy in Buffalo is a new Prohibition Style cocktail bar. Very intimate, and with a gourmet appetizer and drink menu, I would definitely put it on your must try list. Here are some images from the event - and some of my favorite images from any event I've shot so far.

The Chronicles of Etch

I am always trying to help out my friends.

For example, out at a bar tonight....

Random Girl: Oh, my back is so sore, I have so many knots that need to be worked out...

Etch: (quickly rubbing her back) I can work out all your knots, baby.

Me: Yeah, if you have your tubes tied, he can probably work out those knots too...

Best. Wing-Man. Ever.

Cover Your Clam!

After a nice dinner and flirting with our waitress, she suggested we go to “Louie’s” because that is where everyone from work goes after work. We took that suggestion as a hint, but found it to not be the case. The bar was empty when we walked in. We checked out the main floor, the top floor, and found no one. But we noticed some people coming in and out to use the restroom via a door on the far side of the dining room.

What we found beyond that door was… interesting. To say the least.

We found Kimberly. A very attractive 20’ish young woman who was whooping it up with her friends one last time before… before the big day!

Wedding? No.

Military deployment? No, no.

No, as she told the entire bar many, many times over in a very loud, slurring voice during the next couple of hours that we got to know her, she was heading in for breast augmentation surgery the next morning. Under doctor’s orders, she could drink until 11:30, but after that she couldn’t have anything. So she was taking in as much as she could.

Strangers Will Sometimes Be Brutally Honest

So We Just Landed in Charlotte and everyone is standing up gathering their things. The older lady sitting next to me on the flight motioned my attention towards a woman across the aisle.

Lady: "Doesn't she look like that actress from Titanic? What's her name? Kate Winslet?"

Me: "No, not really. Kate Winslet has much larger boobs."

If you were soliciting my opinion, you got it.

Preparing For The New

Little stories like the woman who just walked to the front of the plane to use the toilet. She walks up and stands there looking completely bewildered. For a good 30 seconds she stood there, looking… obviously perplexed and a bit confused, until the flight attendant pointed out the door to the toilet to her. Ok, there are four doors where she is standing. One says “Flight Deck Door – authorized personnel only,” two doors have little windows where you can see the sky out of them, and one door has a green sign that says “VACANT.”

Why was this so confusing?

At A Starbucks in O’Hare

Standing at the coffee & creamer counter, trying to get a napkin.

Woman: Sorry, did you need creamer? Am I in your way?

Me: No, just a napkin, thanks.

W: You don't put anything in your coffee?

M: Nope.

W: Typical Chicagoan.

M: Umm.. no, I just landed here to catch another flight. I'm not from Chicago.

W: Well, still. Seems to be a Chicago thing, drinking your coffee black.

M: I just... like.. coffee to be coffee.

W: But it's still weird.

M: .... Ok. Have a nice day then.

Lady, I'm sure there are a thousand other reasons I can give you to consider me weird. The way I drink my coffee is way, WAY low on that list.
