This was up in Baltimore county on Belair Rd

I really dig the spooky spirit of this truck driver.

Had to take a break from editing Pennrose to let Coco, Trixie and Nico show you all their sweet Halloween costumes. Coco is a bat, Trixie is a butterfly and Nico is an awkward lion. Don’t mind my fur suit, the whole thing will be revealed soon. New spooky episode in a week!!

Since so many mentioned it after my post on the Olive Garden solarium yesterday, I got lunch here at the Tysons Bagel Market right next door (with a cheeky pic of the Olive Garden building from behind). This place is incredible and I’ve always come here when I had violin lessons up the street. 8.6

I just hit up Tysons Galleria to get a new wallet at Montblanc. Tried a new cologne there. Didn’t know they sold that. Grabbed a coffee at Shotted, then I had to pee. No matter how much money some malls make, they still can’t avoid the bathrooms breaking. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Making a mission to go there for bagels tomorrow. Thanks for the reminder!!

There’s so much old school strip mall retail around Tysons…lots of gems

This rad office building adjacent to Tysons Corner Center Mall with a super weird Olive Garden is like one giant solarium. I love it.

In my haste to get this piece framed and hung, I foolishly put tape right on the glass. Amateur move. I’ve since rectified this with a proper mount to the back plate. Much better now.

If you’re local, your attendance is mandatory. If you’re remote, make plans to attend. I can confirm first hand that the work Jon captures and creates is out of this world. I’m proud to hang his art in my home, make sure to pick something up from his shop.

I scoured the internet…really wish I could’ve found *something*

Packed up a couple shipments to send off today. Writing to my fans on the photos the buy, and carefully packing and melting the wax to seal the envelopes is so peaceful to me. My current photo stock is dwindling, so make sure to grab something while it lasts here:

Picked up Alfred Taubman’s autobiography in light of my ExLog 138 on his Fair Oaks Mall. I can’t wait to dig into this book, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that he inscribed my copy with an autograph and a doodle! ExLog 138 on Fair Oaks Mall, tomorrow at 8pm Eastern here:

An array of signs I saw this evening driving through DC to a rehearsal. How tf did we wind up in this awful timeline?

salvatoreamadeo @quitestudios.com · 18d

ExLog 138 this Sunday (12 Oct) at 8pm Eastern!

Fair Oaks Mall, VA and a disastrous side quest to three mini malls (Fair City Mall, VA, Huntsman Square Mallway, VA, and Langley Park Plaza in MD!!)

ExLog 138 on Fair Oaks Mall is rendering! This episode took countless hours of research, writing, revising, cutting and reshooting footage, manipulating sound and purposeful visual artifacts…I wanted this one to be something I could look back on and not regret a single frame or sound. Drops soon..

Played Beethoven 6 today, and my stand partner took a selfie capturing a rare moment of me mid-performance!! This is my Beethoven face. Finally back home finishing my next ExLog, stay tuned…

**which he could absolutely land on the golf course!!

There was no reason for this other than causing as much of a disruption as possible.

salvatoreamadeo @quitestudios.com · Sep 21

Played a concert yesterday, and on my way to a rehearsal in the morning at rush hour, asshole had the entire opposite aide of 66 closed down just so he could get to the golf course. I wish I was kidding.

Last outdoor gig of the season! Saying goodbye to Summer with a classical medley concert in Gaithersburg! Headed back into the studio tonight to finish my next ExLog, looking to premiere next weekend…

I’m sick so I’m home editing ExLog 138 on Fair Oaks Mall…but when I was putting the opening sequence together, Fall revealed itself to me. Look at the beautiful yellow in the foliage! It’s the exact moment when Summer becomes Fall. I’ll keep editing…new episode this month!

It’s crazy to me that a mall making as much money as Fair Oaks does (pictured) can’t fathom repairing all the broken escalators (and a broken elevator). Sigh. Full video tour soon here:
