OMG. I know you can't see him, but Bob Dylan is in that little blob of light!

Can't believe I got to see him live! My children couldn't understand why it's a big deal that their first concert was Bob Dylan!

Anyone want to do a photowalk at the fair?

Finally. My cameraphone took a decent lowlight photo!
