Only a few things left to do....

Back to the swamps of Jersey...

It was a girly sleepover party in the dirty Jersey last nite with Ashley and Jessica. It totally ruled, they're the most awesome room mates ever.

We wound up at Good Earth Potato to see Jason Soroka play and hang out...

When in Jersey, go to diners and stick disco fries up your nose...

Too adorable..

Not a day goes by where I don't miss you, SG.....

Fall!

I love everything about fall! Today was 71 degrees... it was perfectly breezy and orange! I sat in a hammock all day and it was amazing!

What should we call this nap??

Maybe Paranormal Activity tonite?

wish me luck....

Lazy bones kinda day...

Lindsay and I are doing as much "work" as we can from our beds in between naps. It's that kinda rainy, listen to Frightened Rabbit, lazy Sunday. Our plans of pumpkin and apple picking were ruined by the rain, which is a huge bummer but there's always next weekend. Anyway, Nick Corbo played the stood Friday nite and it was awesome!

Awe...

Awesome special guests....

Adam McHeffey, resident badass tattoo artist, and member of Bad Day Dinosaur

and Blythe Armitage, co-sweetest room mate, lead of Rocky Horror Purchase Show ($6, people! get your tickets!)

Time to get some work done...

Friday!

What a week... oh my god! I was buried in work and frustration... until yesterday when I found out my photo won last post's photo contest!! I've been all smiles and fun since then. Check it out here! There are, apparently, THOUSANDS of people to thank for this win. It was so crazy and amazing to see all these people getting so involved and supporting me. Between our friends and his lovely little fans... the JP/KP duo just can't be beat.

In other news, last weekend was FallFest and I just got around to quickly touching up a few photos.

NJ.com is running a contest on the best New Jersey band photos. My photo is one of the 5 finalists....

Its neck and neck between my photo and one other one and you should help me change that!

Voting ends Thursday! It'd be really great if you could help me out!

so many links....

Today, after a long day of black and white as color, I hung out with 4 of the hardest working boys on this campus as they printed a small portion of the fall fest t-shirts for our great friend and Purchase GEC, Sam. They had a specific assembly line, and despite a few issues with one of their silk screens, they were able to finish the last of the shirts (designed by Phil Wong).

The beginning....

Alex mixing some paints...

Manuel

This week in awesomeness...

BRUCE round two on Friday!!

Fall Fest on Saturday!

I can't stop listening to Mobius Band.

"My home is here in the Meadowlands..."

"...where mosquitos grow as big as airplanes. Here where the blood is spilled, the arena is filled and the Giants play the game"

Last nite was the Bruce Springsteen concert and it was RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING! But first, let me start off with the pre show awesomeness. My family started their tailgate around 3 and it was intense. We chilled out and ate burgers and hot dogs for awhile...

This little grill pumped out outlandish amounts of food made my favorite Jordie ever...

My uncle in a nutshell...

We chilled until the beer pong began......

...which made the madness begin...

Beer pong champs take a break to cook...

My lovely parents... (they read my blog)

How many Petry's do you think it would take to break down this tent?

Five, apparently.... go team!

The whole crew, "The brothers, their wives, and 'the kids'" (not my picture...)

Bruce was amazing. AMAZING. He played Jersey Girl. The Petry ladies shared tears during Bobby Jean. And we all rocked really hard through out. No Rosalita... however, there's still Friday when its Bruce ROUND TWO! I'm so excited!! It's time to go to sleep... 8am darkroom monitoring shift tomorrow. I'll update more soon....

And they burnt up the diner where I always used to find her...

We had a lovely little family dinner at the star diner tonite. The lady that worked there decided we were on a triple date, despite the fact that the girls sat at one booth and the boys sat at another. She even went as far to match us up with each other. Jessica and Manuel are, apparently, meant to be. Too funny. It was awesome to get off campus for some classy diner food.

My two favorite ladies at Purchase look adorable in their pea coats and scarves...

Oh, it is love...

This clown....

This ain't the hub...

In other news, the new steel train song is AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I absolutely LOVE it. I highly suggest giving it a shot... you can download it for FREE here.

Off to the V.A. to pick up some prints... maybe I'll update with them??
