The Effects
Photo Shoot @ Johnny K's Studio
AND
Live Show @ Bottom Lounge
Chicago, IL - January 9, 2010
_______________________________

Saturday, I was given the opportunity to work with an insanely talented group of guys who form the band, The Effects (Lead singer - Joel; Guitarist - Jeff; Drummer - Aaron; Bassist - Chase). We met up at Groovemaster Studios (owned and run by the infamous Johnny K) to use this amazing space for our shoot together.

After the shoot, the band went to load in and do a sound check over at Bottom Lounge. I, along with David Silbaugh, his beautiful fiance Stacia, and Johnny's fabulous assistant Crystal, stayed behind and listened to some of Johnny's latest work (VERY neat stuff!!!). We all then made our way to the lounge in time for the show's start. The guys REALLY impressed the crap out of me with their playing! I can't wait to see them again when they come back into town :)

AND.... we'll also, hopefully, have the time to set up a more elaborate shoot (this one was put together on the fly).

Joel, Jeff, Aaron and Chase - THANK YOU for the fabulous shoot and amazing show.

Crystal - couldn't have done the shoot without you - you're just plain awesome!!!

David - a VERY special thank you to you for setting this who shindig up and believing in me.

Johnny - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Love your studio, and am so thankful for your generosity in allowing us to use it for the shoot. Can't wait to see the place come together as you envision it to be in the future!!!

xoxo to all,
