The Widows and Octagrape, both from San Diego. Weekday rock shows are always difficult. After a day&#8217;s work you need to rally to go out that night. Personally, I depend on Red Bull. So, I got home from work in time to meet our friend from SD who was staying with us &#8230; We talked a while and then left for the pre-show dinner, where we would meet up with other friends. As we were walking out the door of the house, I decided &#8220;F-it&#8221; I&#8217;m not bringing my camera tonight. I&#8217;ve never had any luck shooting at Alex&#8217;s Bar. Partly due to the crowds and my unwillingness to get to and stay in front of the stage and largely due to the RED STAGE LIGHTS. Digital cameras don&#8217;t like red stage lights. It bothered me through dinner and I was tempted to drop my wife and friend at the venue and dart home to grab my camera, but I decided not to. What a mistake!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure the bands weren&#8217;t thrilled with the turn out, it was a little light, but it was perfect to move around and shoot photos. PLUS, the stage lights were up high and they were white! It could not have been a more perfect situation to shoot in. Not to mention that The Widows are super rad and Octagrape is insane. Glen, the singer\/guitarist from Octagrape doesn&#8217;t use a guitar strap and he&#8217;s one of the most active people I&#8217;ve ever seen on stage &#8230; Have you ever seen The Riverboat Gamblers singer Mike? Like that, only with a guitar without a strap. He was on stage, in the crowd, behind the drummer, on the bass drum, singing out of the other guitar player&#8217;s mic, everywhere &#8230; I&#8217;m really upset that I didn&#8217;t bring my camera &#8230;\u00a0 But I couldn&#8217;t resist snapping a few iPhone shots &#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2473\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
