Hi Everyone: Sorry for the vent, but thanks for feedback.
Paul: Here's a very brief history of the Green Mill
http://www.greenmilljazz.com/history.html a one time Capone spot.
Sunday night is poetry night until 10pish.
Dave B: I hate microphones :-)
Ann: Thanks, I'll write off list :-).
Dave S: I'm not answering your question :-).
Derby: No, I've embarrassed myself enough with my impolitic remarks :-)
Bob S: Yes, perhaps I should stick to statues :-)
Cheers, Christine

I quite like the shot you did get. Shooting at 1/13th and 90mm focal
length is quite an achievement. Good work. in obviously very difficult
circumstances. Where is Green Mill? I'm not familiar with it. Of course I
left Chicago 28 years ago.

Well, what a f***ing, bl**dy miserable night of photography I just had.
I shot 79 frames--I say again, I shot 79 frames--and I only got this one
shot to show for it. Ugh! I fought with focus all night: I couldn't
even get the stone titties on the Greek statue to come out sharp.
Couldn't get any interesting expressions. And it was a great night of
poetry--lots of animated performance poets. Nothing went as planned:
1) I wanted to get some nice shots of the famous Green Mill interior for
the our good PDML folks in and from Chicago--you know, a neighborly
gesture. Well, I've come up empty handed.
2) I wanted a good shot or two of two poets from Australia reading to
night--you know, a kind of international neighborly gesture. Well, I've
come up empty handed.
3) I wanted to show off my sister reading her poetry tonight--you know,
a kind of sibling promotional gesture. Well, I've come up empty handed.
I think I'm glad I have a day job.
Anyway: This is Marc Smith, father of performance and slam poetry. He's
a really nice guy and lots of fun to watch and listen to.
