cleveland’s tall pines have refined their sound and are using the violin (hannah) in most of their songs. i here they have a CD out there as well. performing with tall pines were “odiorne” who have jimy chambers from mercury rev on drums.

the photos from this february 18, 2006 show are here.

this photo was coincidentally taken at 2:51 thursday morning at the expressway diner on 50ish & madison. the following night dan had the humanclock.com on the literary cafe laptop which prompted andy to take a posed shot of five of us patrons holding up napkins with a number on it stating the time.
it was not long after that when i remembered that i had a photo earlier in the day with the cop number 252 in it. i uploaded it to the human clock but am not sure if it will be chosen..
rafeeq was urging me to hurry up while i was setting the manual settings of the camera as the cops were glaring at us through the diners windows.
