Friday, I went to see a show given by a friend of mine at a bar. This was an opportunity for me to support a friend, take some nice pictures and see some colleagues outside of our workplace.

Here are some pictures that I took yesterday.

I was the photographer for the event. The cameraman, that you see in the background is Jonathan. He is the one who posts comments under the nickname “sleeplow”.

Dany, the guitarist.

The audience was seated at the beginning of the performance, but they stood up after the first song.

That night, four bands were due to perform. The main band, “Old School Politics” was the last one to play. They lent their equipment to the other three bands, including my friend’s.

The two pictures above are failed attempts at taking panoramic pictures. They are failed because some parts are missing in the final panorama. In the second picture, this defect is less obvious because the photo is darker and the missing parts are plain black.

People were chatting in the other room.

Under red lighting, a man is sending a text-message through his cellphone, while another one is taking a picture, using his iPhone, of a couple that is about to kiss.

The red lighting made it difficult to read the menu.

Can you tell who this guy is? He is Dany, the guitarist.

The last day of 2008 was celebrated in Montreal in the Old Montreal district. It was very cold outside. The actual temperature was -18ºC (0ºF), but the felt air temperature, due to the wind chill factor, dropped to -28ºC (-18ºF).

There was a band performing on a stage. They were playing traditional music.

A group of people were expressing their support for the Palestinian people.

And the first day of 2009 started off with nice fireworks. Let’s hope 2009 will be a good year for everybody. And let’s hope that the world gets rid of the problems from 2008. No more wars!
