Ok last day and I'm exhausted. Going to work tomorrow is gonna suck. I felt like I had a cold yesterday so this morning I took a long hot shower and I feel better. I'm just really tired. Heading out now..actualy I'm already on the train..gonna get some daytime cold meds and then chill in the tent till it's time to go shoot. Sucks that I had an extra pass and it went to waste. I could have used another body, it would have been easier.

As I posted before..this fest is mega organized...reasonable food and merch prices. So many cool freebies given out too. At &t even has this oasis room with ac and phones and wireless laptops that anyone can use. There are even sofa chairs to watch thestages (same ones as available online on their site)
....
Ok I'm in the tent and I guess there are bands I should know but don't..oh well..gibson users and they are getting free stuff..

just shot 2 songs of RHCP
WOW...amazing..copying my pics while the show continues

T-minus 13 hours until my cock is in someone's ass

oh i sent aaron some pics of the photo pit...it's a madhouse..for RHCP they buckled down and kicked out VIP passes and people with camera phones and people with photo passes with no cameras. there are like 50 photogs and it's annoying with people in the way. i personally gave props to the photog for the Chicago Tribune and shook his hand. There was almost a brawl but he would have won and i would have backed him..well i verbally did. there are these cocky asses with prosumer cameras and they would run in front of anyone so they'd be in the front row and then would lift their hands over their heads because the stage is high and they are a little back..so if you go in the front row..you can't see. That would fuck everyone else over. I lost a lot of shots because of it. I bitched a few people out myself ...everyone was fed up of it esp in the end. The chicago photog was going to kill one of the guys doing it. "Stop fucking up my bread" this is how i earn my living and you're fucking up all my shots.
I'd pick a spot and then someone would go in front of me...grrr and then pull that move...anyhow..i still got good shots from everyone but that aspect sucked. that was my long rant.
the end

oh and there were over 75000 people here
wow

wow RHCP are covering "London Calling"

Twas a great time. I'm exhausted. Left a little before the end to avoid the masses. Went to the original uno's..the very first one for some yummy deep dish cheese and spinach and broccoli pizza. On my way back to the hotel. So sleepy...gotta pack when I get back.
I'm def shooting this again here next year.
