Will You Give Me Back My Dime

A little followup for those who went to the White Stripes show on Tuesday, or those who wish they could have: there are some excellent photos to be had (and if you’re a fan of the whole Where’s Waldo thing, I’m in several of the shots). The official ZTour page is here, and the Quicktime movies there are not to be missed. The description surprised me - nine thousand people? Being not so very tall, myself, and towards the front I had no idea how far back the crowd extended until I saw these photos. I guess that explains why the Parks Department wasn’t so pleased about the whole thing.

LFI has a really nice set of images, but unless you’re representing a “bona fide media outlet”, you won’t be allowed to register for the fullsize versions. The thumbs are just a big tease. The same is true, unfortunately, of this really nice collection; you can download the images only if you pay for a monthly subscription. MTV has a little “flipbook” of smallish decent images, and a brief article on the show. The Modern Age has some really great shots, including this one of Jack. Why haven’t I seen this site before? The rest of the Stripes photos are here. There’s yet more to be found at Mediaeater. When I got home on Tuesday, I remember thinking that I wish I’d brought my camera - but it looks like I didn’t need to, since EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD brought theirs.

More great photos: evachavela.com, digmeout.com, a fellow NYU person’s blog, one here, and probably many more that I didn’t find. Seriously, though, I think that’s probably plenty.

Also, thanks to everyone who wrote in about the Dave Eggers thing - I’ll pick up a copy next week, probably. And thanks to Cee for the necklace.
