Site updates, 12th May 2008 – containing NEW live photos!
A promise is a promise and I promised that the next update will come a bit sooner than one week after the previous one, which was pretty much late. So, here are some more goodies to brighten up your day. And please, if you can and if it’s safe to do so where you are, remember that yesterday was the blood donors’ day, give blood and save a life.
Today’s update wasn’t mean to be this much different, but the wonderful Tatiana of one of our friend-sites, JohnFrusciante.it somehow found out that John was playing with one of the bands he’ll be collaborating with, AchoZen on 22nd April, which is, curiously, Shavo Odadjian’s birthday and, as it is widely known, Shavo is one of AchoZen’s founding members.
An accomplished professional photographer and director of music videos, Greg Watermann, was very kind to allow the use of two of his photos from his event here, so was one of the people from the audience.
As for the other live photo…well, a friend of my elementary school friend, who is currently in USA, bumped into John after a show of his friend’s band. How cool is that?
If you’re wondering where’s the promised audio update, please wait a bit more, my precious media hard drive is currently being re-animated. So, if there’s nothing new on the site within the next couple of days, that means I’m reformatting the system.
Either way, to cut the long story short, here’s what’s new. Also, if you want to win some really really cool things, check out this year’s creativity competition.
