Back to work tomorrow. Thanks for all the comments and support during my 5 week illness. It helped maintain my sanity.
"I can hear the purest tune of keyboard, carried on the wind
The room is soaking into the dusk in dry-orange color
The darkening sky is so stunningly beautiful...
It's way too bright for me, it's blinding my eyes
So please shut the window and don't let me see anything
I don't want tomorrow to come, it would be better if it never comes"

Alexandria, Virginia. Northern Virginia Community College. Donald Bisdorf Building. Library.
The library is situated in the oldest wing of the building, constructed in the 1950's or 1960's. I was able to learn that the renovation architect was LBC&W/Maguire (1971), a now non-existing firm, but I am not certain they were the original architect. In 1989, he local Washington DC office of LBC&W became The Lukmire Partnership Inc. Architects and Planners.

Palm Court, Alexandria Hotel (1911)
501 S Spring
Architect: John B Parkinson (LA City Hall, Union Station)
At its opening in 1906, the 8-story Alexandria Hotel became the most luxurious hotel in Los Angeles until the Biltmore Hotel opened in 1923. The Palm Court is part of an 11 story addition built in 1911. Presidents William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson gave speeches here, and Anna Pavlova danced here in 1915. Rudolph Valentino worked as a taxi dancer in the ballroom, and Ramon Navarro as a waiter. Dozens of movie studios had offices in the Alexandria Hotel where Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks and D W Griffith formed United Artists. Tom Mix reportedly rode his horse through the lobby on his honeymoon. The movies Dreamgirls, Water for Elephants and Spider Man 3 filmed at the Alexandria Hotel. At one point the hotel had all low income residents but has been converted to affordable micro-lofts.

During there preformance the security guards wouldnt let me walk back and forth to shoot because there was to many crowd surfers and things beiing thrown throughout the crowd. So I was suck on the very far right of the stage up front taking pictures with the speaker right next to me also. Even with ear plugs in right next to it, it was extreamly loud. I was kinda pissed becasue I didnt get to move around and at Station 4 its super small. #Dislike
