Gibson Guitar wall
A wall at Plan et Hollywood, Times Square. It contains a couple of hundred Gibson Guitars, mostly the Les Paul.
This is a fitting memorial to the famous Les Paul, who died on August 13 2009. He created the Gibson Les Paul guitar, which was played by almost every rock band in the world.
He also invented multi-track recording, which of course revolutionised the music industry.
Cape Gooseberries
Today I picked about 200 Cape Gooseberries from the bush in my garden. Not bad considering it has only been growing for about 6 months.
Driving into New York City
Driving into New York City from Foxwoods, on the I95. You have to learn to be quite an aggressive driver to survive here.
But being from Cape Town, I adjusted pretty fast.
Simply not vain enough
I received the strangest email today:
I am pleased to announce that Cds Solutions has been selected for the 2009 Best of Montrose Award in the Automotive Accessories category by the US Commerce Association…You may arrange to have your award sent directly to Cds Solutions by following the simple steps on the 2009 Best of Montrose Award order form
..…
Sincerely,
Ashley Carter
Selection Committee Chair
US Commerce Association
Now, this is really strange for a few reasons:
- My company does not work in the automotive industry
- It does not work in Montrose
- CDS Solutions is just me in Cape Town, now why would an American Commerce association be interested in this business?
- According to their website, they only operate in America
A Google search seems to indicate that this is either a scam, or a “Vanity Award” organisation. So while I am flattered, I wonder what I would have to pay to receive the actual award! Update – the award costs between $79.99 and $199.99, depending on which particular plaque you wish to receive. This is one award that will not be displayed in my lounge.
Bizarre; has this happened to you!
You can donate once-off or monthly.
Donate once-off
Donate monthly The more you donate, the more I can shoot, and the more photos you get to see. And of course you get to feel great by doing so!
