Susan and I at The Gates. We stage highly elaborate Air album-cover photo shoots whenever we travel together. Think Juergen Teller and Stephanie Seymour.
Posted by Kriston at February 23, 2005 1:29 AMYou look so much less nerdy with the beard. You might ought to take another picture of just yourself with the beard and use that at the top of your website
But, on second thought, there are a few people you meet in life who are so nerdy, they come out the other side and are really cool. I think that Kriston is one of those people... you know, the rare type you meet back in your school days who, when they say or do or wear something geeky or wimpy or sissy... somehow, everyone thinks its cool... I picture Kriston as one of those types... so, in that case, maybe you should keep the current photo at the tope of the page. Either way, your posted photo does looks great.

Behold the power of The Gates!
Posted by: norbizness at February 23, 2005 1:52 PMI vote no on changing the picture at the top of the web site. And hell yea you have a hot girlfriend. And she's smart, too!
No comment on the beard. Trotskyite!
Posted by: j.scott barnard at February 23, 2005 2:29 PMI would like to think that Rob just described the entire Carothers Crew, but then I realized we would only be deluding ourselves. I'll get back to hanging my Tick posters now.
Posted by: matty at February 23, 2005 3:55 PMDude, hot girlfriend or not (takes one to know one) you SO don't want to make anything that even MAYBE resembles a Juergen Teller. Seriouslyforreal!
Posted by: sarah at February 23, 2005 5:25 PMyou SO don't want to make anything that even MAYBE resembles a Juergen Teller.
After certain recent events, I won't click on a link in the vicinity of that name.
Posted by: MS at February 23, 2005 7:47 PMOh yeah, how could I have forgotten? Hm. Axl and Stephanie is kind of problematic.
Posted by: Kriston at February 23, 2005 8:21 PMI totally had to pull that post--long story, which I'll tell in a few weeks...stay tuned.
Remember when Axl Rose sang in Times Square on New Year's Eve wearing white spandex with, like, a 2.36 inch inseam? I was only maybe eight or nine at the time, but I knowingly beheld an awesome thing on that night. (on TV, that is.)
Posted by: sarah at February 25, 2005 4:14 PMmy GOD you do look like Juergen Teller! whoa.
