THE WILD WEIRD WORLD OF SPORTS

Please do not for a minute think that I believe what I do is normal.

Normal people wouldn’t fly cross country into Boston for 36 hours just to photograph musical chairs.

BREAKING NEWS: I am not normal.

And after that short PSA, here are some of my favorite images from my post on Wired about the Musical Chairs World Championships.

Grab a seat, yo.

And special thanks to Andrea Wise for joining me for this weirdness. Do yourself a favor and check out her killer vid, yo.

 A few months ago, I wrote a post for wired.com about my adventures photographing the Nuclear Cowboyz, a post-apocalyptic motocross heavy metal opera with fiery explosions and go-go dancers. Yes, go-go dancers.

Today, I thought I’d post some of the outtakes. And yes, there are more photos of go-go dancers.

Party like it’s 2150, people!

I achieved a miracle of sorts this past week: I had a blast in Texas without losing 5 lbs in sweat. Who knew Austin could be so awesome in April? (Not me.)

Photographing unicycle football was in itself great. Hanging with great friends like Julia and recent Portlandia immigrants Emily & Caleb was a wonderful bonus, as was gathering for a couple Texas-style barbecues with new peeps.

Below are my favorite images from game day. To read my über witty prose on Wired.com, do the right thing and click here.

Austin, you’re totally weird. I thank you.
