I know Tom's head is just reflective enough to stand out in the photo. We all laughed as he pointed out that his name was spelled incorrectly on a flier for an event with some of his work hanging. His real name is Tom Klubens and he is a great friend and photographer. (Doug Hineline for The Star)

The Digivan is a wonder to behold. Well no, its actually a big white van full of demo workstations. The wonderous world of modern marketing. It was the first time any of us have setup the van personally. (Doug Hineline for The Star)

So this evening, Ben, Braden and I rushed from work to the Big Car gallery to do two important things. First and foremost we were there to catch "That Time of the Month," featuring the photography of Michelle Pemberton, Marc Lebryk, Tom Klubens and Greg Perez. Secondly, to setup the Indy.com Digivan.

We arrived at about 5:45 and promptly setup shop. After a short time like most technical workers, we began to congratulate ourselves on the accomplishment of a simple task. We were able to demo the site for some First Friday street walkers including a very nice couple who struck a very resounding cord (Mr.ArtInstructor and Mrs.JavaProgrammer, wink).

The show itself was great, although I must admit I crapped out to eat dinner before the 10:00 performance of Mandy Marie and the Cool Hand Lukes. The photos were awesome. They have a really appealing 50's classic feel with a modern grime. In fact, if I had to describe the feel of the collection with a short description I'd say Rock-a-Billy Roller-Girl, and for good reason.

The show was also the celebration of the launch of the 2007-2008 Naptown Roller Girls Calendar. The project is a notable example of what professionals with passion can do for the image of a team. Just the existence of the Naptown Roller Girls in Indy has been an important and unique addition to indy culture. I know there has always been a scene for the Rock-a-billy crowd, but these badass chicks just popped up, smacked it in the face and became its mascot.

All hail photos of badass chicks!
