  • This is Renaud, 20 seconds after he dropped the camera that took this picture on the sidewalk in downtown Oxford. Bits of the camera are still missing!!!!
  • 10 seconds after that.
  • Pete recreates Faulkner's drunken marches home through now legendary "Faulkner alley," his quickest way home from a drinking binge.
  • Like William Faulkner, Pete finds the flat ground deceptively flat.
  • Oxford, Mississippi is a princess factory, and the square has several shops devoted to gowns and ladies' finery.
  • Pete contemplates a life in Oxford, with writing fueled by drinking and the release of passions that lurk in his heart....
  • Renaud releases some passions on the wall.
  • Mark "living Blues" Camarigg relates a story about a nice young woman he met.
  • He emphasizes the size of her heart.
  • Our bartender, a photography major at Ole Miss, lends a hand.
  • Mark Coltrane (no relation)
  • Renaud sticks his straw up his nose (a tradition every time the "Straw up in my Nose Blues" is played on the jukebox).
  • On Saturday nights in Lafayette county (Oxford, Mississippi), last call takes place at 11:45 PM, as the bar can no longer sell alcohol on Sunday. Pete pays his tab ironically.
