I’ve been working hard to select and caption my best photos for general consumption because after making a comment about taking photos like a Japanese tourist, a friend of mine said:

“[That] doesn’t really do you justice. You are like a whole tour bus of Japanese tourists.”

Here are links to the albulms of my first 3 weeks across the pond.

London – Week 1

London – Week 2

London – Week 3

My roommate Jay is a very talented individual. Aside from his art director-related pursuits, he plays several instruments and is the guitarist and lead singer for Paid Pilots, a Chicago-based indie rock band (or Indian rock band, as we like tease him).

Since he’s always headed to Chicago for either practice or a gig, the Quarter Away Kids tagged along the last weekend in October and were treated to a concert at the Elbo Room and a local’s tour of Chi-Town.
