Me and my dad went on a little fishing mini-vacation, fishing on the Manistee River near Grayling, MI. Our first day of fishing we went to the Upper Manistee Campground Access point - Pics Upper Manistee Campground. We didn't have any luck at all there, so we decided to head downstream about 20 river miles and we got in at the CCC Bridge Access Point. This area had more fish, but it was still a pretty slow day. I caught a 5" brownie, had another 5" one on the hook, and we saw a very large trout (and a very large carp).
So on the Five Horse Johnson mySpace they announed a little "tune up" session in preparation for their tour of their new album up in Lansing, Michigan. I had just gotten back from 4 days of partying in New Orleans for buddy Tom's bachelor party, but figured I couldn't miss the opportunity. There were ltierally more musicians than regular folk attending the concert.. I think there were 10 people in the audience for FHJ. Bummer for them but I totally dug it... Opener was Detroit act Novadriver who were awesome. The lovely Rachel May doesn't hurt things easier. Pictures from the show -Novadriver and Five Horse Johnson. Fireball Ministry played after FHJ but I didn't stick around...
Coworker/Chili buddy Everest invited me on his annual fly fishing and camping trip. This year was near Grayling on the Manistee river. It was chilly Thursday and Friday, Saturday the weather broke and it was great. My pictures: Friday (fishing in mostly gray overcast weather) and Saturday (sunny fishing and some off roading on two tracks). Mark took pictures too - Everest's pics.
Ugly played The Token Lounge April 28, 2006. Pictures of openers Blush, X Equals Y, some other opener and pre-Midnight Ugly and More Ugly.
Me and Buddy/Co-worker Steiner went Fly Fishing on the Mighty Huron River the morning of April 5, 2006. Never mind the fact it was snowing while we waded into the river. Man what idiots. We didn't catch anything (other than a ticket) but there are some good pics of the Huron.
Ugly played the Magic Bag in Ferndale. I was there. I took pictures. They are here. Squid was the first band on, they weren't bad. Ugly rocked. Saw a little Mindcandy and left. Superb evening.
Band Ugly (opening for Default) played the Machine Shop in Flint February 18, 2006. Very enjoyable. Pics 1 Pics 2 For the most part the pics blow because I was too far back.

Clutch played the Machine Shop on New Years Eve. My subpar pics. Early in the night. I started out the night somewhat far away so most of these pics are subpar. Some Fireball Ministry pics and Clutch pics. Later pics I moved up and sobered up, so these pics turned out better.
