Last night I got an e-mail from Kathleen, who&#8217;d stumbled across my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/sets\/22148\/\" title=\"Gigs Music Theater 1997-1998\">Gigs photoset<\/a> while looking for an old friend of hers. She was kind enough to send me an old photo from Gigs and said I could go ahead and post it along with the rest of my pictures from the club.<\/p>\n<p>The picture was a fairly low-quality scan (a 216k 318&#215;226 .bmp), but I&#8217;ve done what little I could to clean it up in Photoshop, enlarging it 200%, tweaking the levels, and running an unsharp mask filter on it. It&#8217;s still not pristine, but I&#8217;m still thrilled to have this drop in my lap.<\/p>\n<p><ins>Update:<\/ins> Kathleen was able to find the original photo and re-scan it at a higher resolution, so it&#8217;s <em>much<\/em> easier to see now. Turns out I was at a point where I was going through an ill-conceived attempt to actually grow out my beard&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/djwudi\/30294771\/\" title=\"Gigs Music Theatre, Anchorage, AK\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/23\/30294771_0c7d05c8a2.jpg\" width=\"495\" height=\"366\" alt=\"Gigs Music Theatre, Anchorage, AK\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m guessing this was taken sometime in 1997 or so.
