Warped Tour, San Francisco

I knew I'd find the back of my head somewhere on youtube from Warped Tour.

PS. Yes I was hot. And PPS. No I didn't really want to have my backpack on my back, but it was the easiest thing to do (although by the time Less Than Jake and NOFX came on I ended up putting it underneath the stage as I was getting tired).





You can find my Warped Tour photos at http://www.blackvelvetmagazine.com/warpedtour2009photos.htm

And a report and more pix in the next issue of Black Velvet, issue 61, out at the end of July.

Pix of me taking pix

Me taking photos of Bon Jovi (& opening band Soraia) at Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI last week. Photos by Rob Fuz. Click on the pix to see the full size versions - I think the blog is cropping them...
