Day 279 of 365 days.

So I never heard from my model for this morning, so I guess that pretty much means that shoot is cancelled. Spent the morning editing some photos, and then got a phone call from Shannon asking me if I wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for her son, Parker’s birthday. Seeing as how I hadn’t hung out with her in a while and I had absolutely nothing to do, I figured why not?

I haven’t been to Chuck E Cheese in years. It definitely loses something as an adult, and I think this one was probably kind of lame. I was going to take a picture in the ball pit. But there wasn’t one. What kind of Chuck E Cheese doesn’t have a ball pit?

Anyway, turns out that they have one little kiddie ride that lasts about 60 seconds that takes a "digital photo" of you while you ride. Bingo! I knew I had to take that shot. I had a hard time squeezing into the car, but it was so worth it.

I did have tonight’s photoshoot and it went great. I’ll have shots up from that as soon as I can.

    hehe… I know what you mean about CEC… I pretty much dislike them too. I think they quit with the ball pits because of sanitation issues. :/

    Seen on my Flickr home page. (?)

    @Christy9799: so wait? None of them have ball pits? I just thought this one was maybe really lame.

    I don’t think they do anymore, any of them due to weird shit like knives in there and stuff.

    Dave & Buster’s is cooler anyway. Games AND booze!

    Way cute pic.

    some friends of mine make a grownup sized ball pit for their fun house at Burning Man, and they have found some really amazing stuff at the bottom of that thing. Drinks, toys, smokes, all the grownup stuff you’d be carrying on yourself in the middle of Burning Man. Awesome.
    But yeah, I think CeC stopped with the ball pit because there’s no way to keep ’em clean, and they were basically play-petri-dishes. ick.


    Seen in my contacts’ photos. (?)

    @.tara.: yeah…. I like D&B but its not really right for a 2 year old. Glad you like it. Thanks.

    @lalalaa Dolce Vita: bah! being a kid was never supposed to be about being clean anyway.

    @MegaBee: thanx

    @*kelli*: eh… I thought it was just kinda silly really. But I like the shot.

    @Amy Eileen: thank you.

    @lrayholly: see… I smile sometimes.

    oh, so glad that you were able to hang out with shannon and the P-man!

    I like to call Chuck E. Cheese’s "Chuck E. Sneezes"…all those kids wiping their snotty hands on everything! Of course, the kids do like it. It’s too loud for me…and the one near us doesn’t have a ball pit either…maybe they had to do away with them since we were little mav.

    anyway, i love this shot…we’ve got some of Z in that same car….I guess some things are standard at the sneeze now 🙂

    Thanks for joining us! Next time we hang out, we can do some "adult" activities……does that sound dirty?

  12. May 19, 2007 at 3:41 pm

    @pi c’s: I still think its lame. What’s the point of being a kid if you can do disgusting dirty things like that.

    @sassyshannon999: hahaha… like you didn’t do it on purpose. And no problem. I had fun.
