back again

Well I'm back from Tennessee, sunburned and exhausted. I did a little networking and a lot of working-working. I only have two regrets: not seeing Al Green and not taking pictures. Well I brought my camera but I only took 2 pictures. Which is a shame because I had access to anywhere on stage/photo pit. I guess 2 is better than 0, right?

my stage


my stage with someone on it! that's animal collective. i wish i had taken the time to capture the crazy crowd that was there. they extended wayyy far back and around

1 2 3 4 5, 6 7 8 9 10, 11 12

Is it just me or does the beginning of this song (janelle monae - many moons):



sound a LOT like this song (sesame street)?



in case you can't tell, i really love janelle monae. she's like a female andre 3000. and she's adorable. and she's obsessed with robots.

renovations

I've realized that I don't really take enough pictures in my day to day life to create content for this blog. So instead of just a photoblog, I'm going to start using this as an outlet for internet findings, short life updates and I'm even planning on posting more music. yay.

Right now, I'm preparing to go to Tennessee to work at Bonnaroo.
And just because, I made a mix of a bunch of Bonnaroo artists.

11. Those Darlins - Whole Damn Thing
