The Warped tour – Grumpy old man version
I had a booth for STEAL MUSIC BUY ART at the San Diego and Pomona Warped Tour stops this year. We learned at the IT’S NOT DEAD Festival in October that people at festivals really don’t want to buy artwork while attending a festival … They probably don’t have the money with them and if they do, they don’t have anywhere to put it while they’re seeing the next 45 bands playing in the next hour.
I guess I’m trying to say the booth was SLOW … But, of the 70 bands playing each day, there were 3-4 that I wanted to see, and I was able to photograph them … I didn’t really notice this while I was shooting, but while I was processing the photos, I sure got a lot of jump shots. Maybe the bands that I wanted to see were the “jumpers.” I am going to do a separate post of just JUMP SHOTS. I love jump shots … So you won’t see any jumpers below … If you want to see them, please see the other post.
The highlight of my 2 days at Warped was getting to see Teenage Bottlerocket (twice):
A close second to Teenage Bottlerocket was Masked Intruder (sorry Intruder Yellow, I didn’t get many of you):
The Interrupters (Hat’s off to Aimee Interrupter for pulling off great sets while fighting pneumonia):
Prof and Mother Feather were good too:
radical photos!
