Apraxia at Element 27 - 08OCT04

You know by now I support Element 27. And you probably know I'm a fan of Telephone! too. Lolly Pop (of Telephone! reknown) teamed up with Siren313's electroclash/future-pop outfit APRAXIA, and they performed at Element 27. How could I not bring my camera out for this? And then I started drinking, and one thing led to another, and when I finally woke up the next day, when I found my camera (my drunk-self likes to set up little intellectual challenges for my sober-self), I discovered a whole lot of pictures I more or less don't remember taking. But they turned out pretty well, by and large, and without fanfare I'm just going to throw them all up here. Enjoy!

An accomplice of So Supreme runs the tables to start the evening. I just love the glow of a console in the dark club room.
Campbell! Parked by his stock and trade, looking forward to brisk sales. Announcement card heralding the appearance of Apraxia tonight.
DJ Nitrogen takes the helm and gets the darkside party cooking. DJ Noise emerges from the shadows to put his spin on the evening.
Sasha, by the glow of the bar. Sasha, by the glow of her cellphone.
Cali and Jarrin reflect and ponder at the fore of the evening. Brooke takes some time out to cut a rug.
Aaron's goofiness means we can't delete this picture even if Sasha wants it destroyed. There we go, Aaron and Sasha looking all gritty and terse. 'Cos that's how we are here.
Shutter-drag makes everything look like an action-collage! Aw, it's the gang! Hi, gang! Hi... hi.
Cali and Andy commence to recreatin'. Same thing, only in black and white, imposing 40% more thoughtfulness upon the image.
This is perhaps my favorite picture of Sasha, and not just because I took it. She wanted to take a smiling shot, too, since we don't usually.
Dawn posed by the increasingly-popular furnace for the lighting. Again, the black and white complements her sufficiently to create a mood.
Someone offered to take a picture of me. There's always one in any group who thinks of comeuppance. Alis and her sister, making a rare cameo on this club night.
Carrie (DJ Rahna), being cute by the furnace pipes and red lighting. Or maybe she's just cute and can't shut it off. I shouldn't tease.
Here's where things get fuzzy, and not just in my pictures... This is Cheyenne. I've seen her at the club several times, but I don't remember how I ended up with these pictures. I must've asked or something.
Star5 and Rahna, of course. Taking pictures of my friends is too irresistable, some times more than others.
Rahna and Jarrin. She's getting all nostalgic because she's about to flee to the west coast! Sasha and Rahna. The good thing about dreds like this is that they never tangle.
This is Stef. In addition to owning and maintaining luxurious long hair, he also suppled the names of people in many of these photos.
John lounges by the furnace for a couple shots.
Incidentally, John also prints and promotes the flyers for E27. Andrew and Christen, visiting from Wisconsin - wonder what they thought of the night?
This very cute couple is comprised of Jesse and Laura.
I actually really like how this one turned out, actually. Here, of course, is cher Emily, of All The Pretty Horses.
First Avenue, at the end of the night... ...the illusion fades away.
Carrie, perched atop my car, scant days before moving out to San Francisco.
