This photo is over a month old but I keep coming back to look at it.
It’s so good. Excellent work, G.
Guillermo is posting so many photos that I question whether he’s actually done anything other than play with his iPhone at CHSH.
Not that I’m complaining.
The pictures are awesome and you’re really missing out on some great stuff if you’re not following.
Are you all following Guille’s visit to America through his fauxvintagephotos Tumblr?
You should be. He’s creating some incredibly beautiful photos.
More than anything else, I’m very upset that I won’t get to spend any time with him while he’s here. He’s one of the good ones.

No steelopus at CHSH
halfbakedidea replied to your photo: GPOYW It’s been a day.
Why am I not meeting you this weekend at CHSH. This makes me sad.
Two official reasons:
- Airfare from Rochester to Chicago never dipped below $300 in the 4 months that I searched.
- I only have 4 vacation days left to last me until July 1st.
One very real reason:
- I don’t really have any desire to meet people in largely impersonal group gatherings like this. 5 people or less, please. That’s my limit. More than that and I don’t learn enough about everyone else and everyone else doesn’t learn enough about me.
Reasons that weren’t originally reasons but have since become reasons:
- I still have eleven 40 in 40 songs remaining.
- My friend Brian’s Cake cover band has their first gig on Saturday night.
- It’s playoff hockey season.
- I’m currently investigating options for either a mid-atlantic road trip or a southern california jaunt in June to catch some David Bazan shows and that will likely use up my vacation time and spare change.
- Work has become insanely busy within the past two weeks and there is no end in sight.
Anyway. I’ll meet all of you someday. Until then, you’ll just have to trust me when I tell you how awesome I am and how great I am in bed.
Technically those are both short trips and MIGHT qualify.
Are you going to CHSH OR WHAT?

CHSH is not likely to happen for me. Airfare from ROC to ORD cannot be had for under $320 (I’ve been searching daily for 2 months). Toss in hotel costs on top of that and I’m looking at $550+ just to spend one night feeling uncomfortable in a very loud room and not talking to anyone because I can’t hear them or myself. It’s the sad truth that I’d rather spend that money elsewhere.
I love everyone attending CHSH, but it’s highly unlikely that I’ll be there this time, or likely, anytime. I’d rather see you all in groups of 5 or less and have quality conversations than to see 100 of you get sloshed together in one night and not be able to have a meaningful conversation.
Our time will come.

Just a reminder to all my friends who aren’t at CHSH right now, and also to those that are.
This is tempting. So tempting.
But alas, I don’t have 4 vacation days available.
“Show me the plane reservations and I’ll schedule my dick-ectomy.”
That’s what she said.
No, really. She.
I’m gonna need some time to process this.
