Poses, Emotions, Disasters At Sea, Burning Crosses And Rainbows

Fairfax was jammed packed with people tonight for the Mike Mills/Blonde Redhead video release party at Family. The event was organized by the Directors Bureau and the crews were out in force to soak up a little of the Mike Mills magic on a summer night.

If you're wondering why all these photos look so funny, I thought it would be cool to try to make them look like Mike's art. I'm not really sure if I've succeeded, but it was worth a try. Moving all those contrast knobs around wasted some time anyway. Plus, it gives this whole blog a kind of timeless quality...as if you were reading this post back in 1955. The image above is Miranda July striking a pose from one of the videos.

Cali Dewitt (Teenage Teardrops) and Dan Monick (Photographer/Sads Drummer) were having a loving moment when this photo was taken. As far as I know this is the first published photo of Cali's new haircut (not that you can really tell).

The man of the evening, the humble genius, man of many talents, Mike Mills!!
