Jamy Cabre: Blog https://www.jamycabre.com/blog en-us (C) Jamy Cabre (Jamy Cabre) Sun, 06 Feb 2022 16:22:00 GMT Sun, 06 Feb 2022 16:22:00 GMT https://www.jamycabre.com/img/s/v-12/u838829971-o910357212-50.jpg Jamy Cabre: Blog https://www.jamycabre.com/blog 90 120 Haus Weaver II https://www.jamycabre.com/blog/2014/6/haus-weaver-ii It has been a busy few months, the house is painted, the kitchen mostly finished except for a couple little jobs.  We are moved in and enjoying this little nest of ours.  It took a few more dollars than planned, almost a few too many weeks.  We lost a beloved dog, got married, and adopted another dog from a rescue in Aurora. 

Remember what the kitchen looked like? 

This is now!  Hickory cabinets and a nice dishwasher.  Many many thanks to Ev Brunke for installing the cabinets and designing a lovely matching backsplash for the countertops.  We are also grateful to Mark Malmskog for his tools and expertise, and to the high school kids Paul wrangled into painting our ceilings one weekend.  Clicking on the photo below will take you to a gallery of more before and after pictures.

I also dug through some shots from last spring and found a few of Ten Sleep and my family's ranch, click on the photo below to go to the gallery. 

Paul and I are pretty excited for our next trip up there, the premier of the movie Wanda the Wonderful is happening over the 4th of July! I don't think I've mentioned this much, but my great-grandmother Wanda was a traveling sharpshooter for Remington during the twenties, before she met and married my great-grandfather Carl and settled (sorta) down in Worland/Ten Sleep.  My cousin Carolyn Macartney wrote and directed the film about her.  My only claim to the film is a split second scene of a pistol being fired during the trailer - and I was the one shooting it.  Anyway, here's an original promo portrait of Wanda; click the picture to go to the official film website.  

 

And here's gorgeous ol' Castle Gardens, a few miles west of town. I would ride my bike out here and just wander around reveling in the loneness of the place.  Somewhere in all my stuff are pictures and a video my sister Joslyn took of me dancing on the rocks, there is a hollow, a wide windowed shelf covered in a deep layer of sand that serves perfectly as a stage.

The living and dining room, bedrooms are off to the side, one off each main room.  

This is the kitchen . . . .gas stove!! 

removing the window boards was the first thing I tackled while Paul and good friend Mark installed a new bathroom vanity/sink

Old houses, so full of surprises.  This is what I found behind the bathroom mirror

Stabbed in Back at the Buckhorn July 22. http://www.jamycabre.com/p804196861 

Stabbed in Back (Albequerque, NM) dropped in to play with the CONVALESCENTS and Redbush on a Monday night.  If you haven't taken the time yet, I highly recommend giving Stabbed in Back and the Convalescents a listen.  

Stabbed in Back: http://stabbedinback.com   One of my images was used on their new EP Waiting for Light.  Stoked! 

the CONVALESCENTS: http://www.reverbnation.com/convalescentsmusic  Hidden gem of a band out of Fort Collins.

Fast becoming a huge tradition now in it's 5th year, bands from Casper and Laramie converge to the Virginian hotel in Medicine Bow for twelve hours of music on two stages and a party that lasts clear into the next morning.  The town that lasts the longest wins, or something like that.  I don't know who keeps track but it's a great time and one of our few all ages events.  I missed the first couple bands and left early so there are a few bands missing, otherwise the pictures are in order of the day's lineup.

Whiskey Slaps, One Drop Evolution, The Peculiar Patriots, Shotgun Shogun, Truck Stop Tuxes and Beatgrass kept the music going and Altitude once again kept spirits high with a great selection of brews.  The proceeds will go to the Laramie Plains Museum and WHATFest.  WHATFest founder Marco Ruble was present with Volunteer sign up sheets and thumb wrestling.  Yours truly signed up for first aid.  They still need quite a few individuals to help with Parking and Recycling - so if you're already planning on going to WHATFest this August, why not help out? You can sign up by emailing volunteer@whatfest.com.  

I also shot my first thunderstorm last night!

I would like to thank Paul Weaver for his patient late night impression of the show as I once again hashed out the writeup at the last minute, and while I love going to concerts, my writing is rather dull and dry and doesn't do the experience justice.  So everyone can look forward to more colorful and witty write-ups in future collaborations.  

And why does the Macaroni and Cheese at Sputnik keep changing!?  I swear every few months when I pop in for the ultimate in un-impressed hipster waitering the recipe for this my favorite dish has changed.  Or maybe I haven't had enough to drink before I eat.

I woke up Sunday morning wondering if I had really seen a male version of Princess Leia onstage, screaming about cats and Satan? Yes I did, wow.  So the best way to end this fabulous weekend (by the way, stay posted for photos from Face to Face at the Gothic in Denver from Friday night!) could only be an intimate acoustic set at the Crowbar featuring our own Madison Graulty of Meadow and the Larks, Shotgun Shogun, and Dude, Ch!ck Band and Jeff Berman (Divided Highway) traveling through from L.A.  Thanks much to Brett Delaney from Poor Me for setting up the show.

http://fortheloveofpunk.com/gallery-bad-religion-at-the-fillmore-auditorium-in-denver/

In other news, I have several photo projects in the works for News From Nowhere, on the subjects of secrecy and disuse. They may evolve into some sort of local history lesson as well.  

Look for me at the Union Gardens the 18th for Take Back the Night and the 19th at the Train Depot taking pictures of the Magic Beans and associated shenanigans, then I'm off to FOCOMX -maybe? 

The weather is really bringing me down, spring such as it is around here, has been blown southward and covered in a thin icy sheet of pavement grit and prairie dirt.
