Familiar Territory

Before my most recent trip, I bought a new camera, a Fujifilm FinePix F550 EXR. It is a 16 MB, 15x Zoom, compact dSLR. The next day, I went to Rice Village to meet my band for drinks at the Gingerman. Unfortunately, I found out my group was bailing on our plans after I arrived, and then my phone died. Oddly, Kristen "Free Glass Whore" Hild was not even their this Wednesday. My camera was with me, the sun was bright and would be out for a little longer, so I decided it was a perfect opportunity to test out the new camera before heading to Spain that weekend (hint: guess where my next photos will be from?). I headed toward Rice, stalked some bikers, and wandered around the stadium. All while still in my work clothes, and I was quite happy when I was done walking in dress shoes.
And then a walk over to the ticket office. A little creepy, but it sure has character...
