The Neon Mile

THE TUCSON HISTORIC PRESERVATION FOUNDATION 

HAS BEEN PRESERVING THE OLD NEON SIGNS OF TUCSON.  

THE "MID-CENTURY VINTAGE ADVERTISING" WAS REVIVED 

IN AN INITIATIVE PASSED IN 2011 WHICH ALLOWS VINTAGE 

SIGNS TO BE EXCUSED FROM THE TUCSON SIGN CODE 

(WHICH FORCES THEM TO BE SMALLER NOW.)  THERE ARE 

30 SIGNS FEATURED TOTAL, BUT THEY ARE ALL AROUND 

TUCSON.  SOME WHICH HAVE BEEN DISPLACED ARE NOW 

LOCATED ON THE PIMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE DOWNTOWN 

CAMPUS.  LEARN MORE HERE.

THE NEON MILE.  SERIOUSLY.  I'M NOT FUCKING 

WITH YOU.  THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLING IT.  

(NO REFERENCE TO THE GREEN MILE I'M SURE, RIGHT?)

KIND OF LIKE HOW THEY JUST NAMED A NEWS STATION 

CAMERA HERE SKYNET, THE SELF AWARE ARTIFICIAL 

INTELLIGENCE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE EVIL 

DOING IN THE TERMINATOR MOVIES.  (CLICK 

ON THE LINK TO READ MORE.)

I KIND OF FUCKING LOVE THIS TOWN.

BESIDES ALL OF THAT, I LOVE NEON.

FOR REAL

PLUS THERE WAS A COP VAN PROJECTING PETER 

PAN FOR THE KIDS.  IT WAS A FUN FOR ALL EVENT.

Shelly's Wedding

WEDDINGS WEDDINGS WEDDINGS!
LAST SATURDAY WAS ERNIE'S GOOD
FRIEND SHELLY'S WEDDING IN SAHUARITA.
I SHOWED YOU MY MAKE UP FOR IT HERE.

(BUNNY BANANA- I THINK YOU WENT TO SCHOOL
WITH SHELLY'S YOUNGER BROTHER AT CDO.)

ME AND ERNIE SWITCHED OFF TAKING PICTURES
FOR THIS.  I GOT MORE OF THE SCENERY AND HE
GOT ALL THE PEOPLE SHOTS.

CENTERPIECES

CAMEO BY OUR PRESENTS!

THIS IS A POINT WHERE ME AND ERNIE SWITCH
AND HE TAKES PICS FOR WHILE. 

SHELLY GETTING HER HAIR AND MAKEUP DONE

THE GROOM

THE BRIDESMAIDS

MOM AND BRIDE

SHELLY'S BROTHER AND I'M NOT SURE
WHO THE OTHER GENTLEMAN IS.

ERNIE'S SISTER ADRIANNA AND HER DAUGHTER LAYLA.

THE GUY WHO MARRIED THEM.
(I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE CALLED
IF IT ISN'T A MINISTER OR WHATEVER.
I KNOW THERE'S A NAME FOR IT THOUGH.)

BRIDESMAIDS COMING DOWN THE AISLE

SHELLY'S DRESS WAS GORGEOUS.
IT WAS SUPER BALLSY TO WEAR IT OUTSIDE
LIKE THIS.  ERNIE'S OTHER SISTER IRIS IS
HOLDING THE GREEN SUN UMBRELLA.

DAD AND BRIDE

THE VOWS WERE VERY SPECIALIZED.  SHELLY INCLUDED
 A LOT OF CHANGES TO THE WORDINGS OF THINGS SO THAT
IT WASN'T OLD FASHIONED AND REFERRING TO MARRIAGE AS
THOUGH IT IS AN EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY.  IT WAS
REFRESHING AND I THOUGHT SHE DID A GREAT JOB ON IT.

ERNIE'S BROTHER ERIC IN THE BACKGROUND ON
THE FAR LEFT, AND ALEX HIS PARTNER IS ON MY RIGHT.

I CAN'T REMEMBER IF HE TOOK THIS ONE OF HIMSELF

OR IF I STEPPED IN AND TOOK THE PICTURE.

THE WEDDING AND THE RECEPTION WERE HELD
AT SHELLY'S HOUSE.  BY THE TIME THE RECEPTION
WAS HAPPENING WE WERE TOO DISTRACTED TO
KEEP UP WITH THE PICTURE TAKING.

WE DID MANAGE TO CAPTURE THE FRUIT BOWL...

ERIC, ALEX, AND SARAH.....

AND SHELLY'S DAD DOING HIS ELVIS IMPERSONATION.

LET ME END BY SAYING THAT HE WAS THE HIGHLIGHT
OF MY WEEK.  I'VE COME TO REALIZE THAT THERE IS A
LACK OF ELVIS IMPERSONATORS IN MY LIFE.
I'M GONNA WORK ON THIS.

Pull It Together, Bitches

ERNIE HAS STOLEN THE SHIRT QUINN
GAVE DAD FOR HIS OWN AND LOVES IT.
