Saturday night Arielle and I had an unexpected delay on the way to the Green Day Concert. We were walking to the light rail when this cute little kitty approaches us. Her tail is up and is very friendly, which is odd given there are a lot of feral cats in that area. As we  loved on the kitten, it wandered into the street. It only left when I came out after it then walked back to the curb. It followed me back. We continued on our way and noticed it was following us. Arielle and I looked at each other and both knew we had to do something. I picked up the little kitten, who is around 4-5 months old, and we proceeded to walk home. We setup a bed, a litter box, food and water in our spare bathroom then left once again for the concert.
Sunday we took her to the vet to get her checked for anything that might be transmitted to our cats. She checked out fine and appeared to be in good health. Arielle made a bunch of fliers and put them up around the area we found her. She also posted a found notice on Pets 911 and Craigslist. We’re waiting to see if we hear anything, but aren’t holding out much hope. We have a feeling she was abandoned in the area and decided that if no one comes looking for her, we’re going to add her to our family. We’re waiting a week to 10 days before we officially give her a name and make her a permanent member of the family. Right now we just call her little kitty.

The guys from Megafaun were planning on going camping up in Payson, before heading down to Tuscan for a show. I say were because their van broke down and was in the shop all day, so they ended up hanging around Phoenix and Tempe. We met up with them at Cartel Coffee Lab. Afterward they went to pick up their van and came back to the house to hang before we headed up to South Mountain. Arielle and I decided to use leftovers from the previous night to make burritos. With full bellies we headed up the mountain and arrived just before sunset. We all regrouped back at the house where the guys from Megafaun and Well Done Media headed down to Tuscan. While everyone was leaving they thanked Arielle and I for our hospitality and one of the guys said, “This has been the most normal day on our tour.” We were happy to have them and look forward to the next time our paths cross.

I was catching up on blogs this morning when I came across an article about friend photographers on Seattle Bride.
It really sums up what I tell people about photographer. I’m not saying there aren’t any good amateur or bad professional photographers, just that experience is the key.
