| So I went up North this past weekend and I must say I had an amazing time.I had a flight to D.C.(which was a layover) and then another flight up to Manchester, New Hampshire.When I got there I rode in a taxi to Rocko's Bar and Grill where?A Day to Remember was playing with?My Children My Bride and some other local bands.My taxi driver was very flamboyant and talked about tulips and other sorts of flowers the whole ride.It only cost me $15 so I didn't mind that much ..hahaThe show there was incredible!It was my first time seeing them play anywhere other than Ocala.I must say, they are a lot bigger than people think.I mean, they played in some town in New Hampshire of all places, and drew out a TON of kids who knew ALL the words to ALL their songs.I'm really proud of what they have been able to accomplish and there is still SO much left for them to do.click on the image below to see the rest from each set!A Day to Remember @ Rocko's - New HampshireAfter that show ...I we drove all the way down to Easst Rutherford, New Jersey.We didn't get in until about 5:00 AM ...I also did not go to sleep because Alex wanted me to stay awake with him while he drove.I didn't mind at all.Well, the next day we got up at 6:30 AM or so and started getting ready for a full day of bamboozle.It was misreably cold and misty ...My whole body was numb by the end of the day.We got everything loaded in and such and their set wasn't until about 6:15 so we had a good while.It wasn't until a few hours before their set that Jonald and I ran out of merchandise. |

| He was shooting the Maine and Mayday Parade for some clothing endorsments, so I decided to snap some shots of him doing so!The MaineMayday ParadeAfter the Mayday Shoot ...Adam let me use his Media pass to go shoot Panic At the Disco.They were, of course, on a main stage so without that pass, I would not have been able to shoot them.It was fun, but we were only allowed to be down there for 3 songs, and one of those songs didn't seem like a full song... oh well.I guess it's understandable?While I was waiting in the photo pit, along with 15 other photographers or so, I met a dude by the name of Dan Gonyea.I didn't know it at the time, but I had already seen his work through the internet and such.He goes by?Future Breed.He definitely has a lot of talent with shooting live shows ...I'm stoked to see what he can do with promotional shots whenever he gets a light kit.Anyway, here is panic :D click on the image(s) below to see the rest from each set!Panic At the Disco @ BamboozleI had a straight flight back home and it was relaxing ...I love flying ... minus the part about your ears having to pop and what not, that drives me crazy!Oh well.I had a great weekend though!I met so many people and I actually had about 15+ people come up to me and actually say the knew who I was!That completely blew my mind!I'm happy that my work is getting out there, for sure.I love it when people see my stuff!:DLet me know what you think of the shots and this is probably the longest blog entry I have written!hahaALSO, if you saw me at bamboozle, let me know! |
