WARPED TOUR 2009

Yes, this is one of these posts. The ones where I preface my blog entry by apologizing for my absence and saying that it won’t happen again, but it’s bound to. At least I have a good excuse. For the past month now Ive been in Brasil with a 10-day visit to Africa. There are thousands of images that I have to mull through yet and I still have a week here in lovely Rio de Janeiro so hopefully I’ll get some more good images in. Once I get back stateside look forward to loads of updates and even more images from my month away.

Before I left on July 7th, I covered Warped Tour 2009 in Houston on the 3rd. It was probably the single worst Warped Tour experience out of all of the dozens Ive been to, but the few stand out performances made up for the day as a whole.

LIVE MUSIC FUN

I’m totally on a blogging spree today. Tonight my boy Stef aka P.O.S. came to town with Saosin and Underoath and another hokey new metal band that all the kids like. Stef is a hip-hop artist and it’s always lovely to see him open for punk/metal acts. All of the 15-18 year old kids smashed against the barrier ready to “mosh” (don’t get me started on moshing in the 21st century) are completely perplexed when they hear rap. Either way it was a great show. Ram’s Head Live! was a very nice venue. Nice in the sense that I got in free and parked close, but something tells me it would have been a different story had I shelled out the $26 for a ticket. I’ll spare myself the trouble to going into a formal review here and just share one of my favorite images from the night. I met a few new photographers and even got a chance to hand out my new card!
