Now with 30 percent more posting power!


Like the Muscle Beach denizens above I have now been granted the strength to post even more photographic history online, described here in what may be fairly called the greatest blog post ever written in all of human history, or at least since there have been blogs. Yes, I have joined the team of the renowned culture blog If Charlie Parker Was a Gunslinger, There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats. I haven't posted any photos there yet because the announcement just went up but I look forward to doing so and would like give my most sincere thanks to Tom Sutpen, proprietor of said blog, for extending the offer and allowing me this opportunity.

It all started in this last week as I decided to reboot The Invisible Edge (I have changed the rules there and now post much more frequently - six times in the last three days - go visit now!). In the reboot I mentioned my frustration with holding back on so many photos and mentioned Tom's blog and Tom promptly arrived and extended the offer to join the Gunslinger, which I quickly and happily accepted. That's about it. I'm very excited about joining such a great team of contributors and hope I can hold my own. Thanks Tom.

Oh, neat! I saw Tom's Facebook thing about you joining "Gunslinger", and, like a moron, failed to understand what the hell he was talking about. But anyway, congratulations! In the blog world, that's kind of a big deal!

Thanks Bill, I'm very excited about it. If you visit The Invisible Edge (and I don't know why you wouldn't) and read the "reboot" post you'll see I was frustrated having so many damn photos with nowhere to post them, so I decided, happily, to just start posting them there whether I had a one-liner to go with them or not. And now I'm with the Gunslingers and am already nervous I won't have enough photos to keep up. From famine to feast in less than a week. If only something like that would happen with money. Maybe if I post a piece on rebooting my bank account someone will show up and drop a hundred million in my lap.

I bet that would happen. I've heard about things like that.

Ed Howard said...

Nice! And I was there when it happened! 40 years from now I'll be telling my grandkids about the day when I actually witnessed Greg Ferrara joining the Gunslinger blog.

Their response: what's a blog, grandpa? You're old.

bill r. said...

Yeah, because by that time, kids will be watching holo-vids.

Greg said...

That reminds me, I'm also joining the John Coltrane Holo-Vid this week. It's been non-stop this week.

Wow, great for you. But what is a photo-graph? Is it anything like a .gif?

Greg said...

Yes, only with a .jpg at the end.

A stroke of genius! Though I can't say this news in any way surprises me --- you've got a great eye for photographs and screencaps. Look forward to following you wherever you go.

And I'm sorry that I've never followed your blog THE INVISIBLE EDGE. Will rectify that right now...

What a lousy friend I am. You can feel free to not invite me to your birthday party.

Greg said...

Aw, hell, you know you can come to my birthday party. Just don't forget the present.

And thanks Ryan, I hope you like my work at both Charlie Parker and Invisible Edge.

I'm happy to have you on board, Greg!

I haven't had much time to contribute to the Gunslinger lately so I'm glad Tom's getting some help and i know you'll be a great addition to the team.

Greg said...

Thanks Kimberly, I love being a part of the Gunslinger team. I've built up so many photos that I don't know where to post and now I have a place to do so thanks to Tom. And now that I'm sharing actual blogging duties with the likes of you and Tom I can finally think I made it, even if I haven't.

Ya know, I was always wondering where I could get me some carisoprodol, so thanks for that.

Know what's even better for good sleep? A blow job right before bedtime. Bet carisoprodal can't offer that.
