When people think of paradise they probably don’t think of an all ages cruise. With bands. And drinking. And drinking games. And more bands. And sleep…wellll, you needs sleep when you’re in this kind of paradise, right? I mean sure you may have played flip cup before, but have you played it on a boat….in the Caribbean. Sure you’ve played […]
Kansas City was lucky enough to get on 311’s winter schedule, however they did not get 2 sets due to it being a 4-act radio concert. Nevertheless, they put on a great show as always. I did not catch the first two openers of 96.5 The Buzz’s “Night the Buzz Stole XXX-mas,” but I was able to see Naked […]
I have entered a photography contest called Exposure 2011. There are a couple different ways to win: first by having friends vote for your portfolio in the People’s Choice award. Secondly, they have a panel that picks the grand prize winner (not influenced by the People’s Choice). I need all the help I can get with votes, so you if don’t mind taking a second out of your day just click the link below and click “Vote” then “Like.” It is much appreciated and thank you for your support.

Navigating a new venue can tend to be a challenge. I had never been to the Beaumont Club for a concert and if I had I probably would have done things a little differently. It is a smaller venue which in this case meant no photo pit aka no space in front of the stage free of concertgoers. It just […]
First concert since making the move back to Kansas City: Chromeo @ the Midland. Unfortunately the opener, Mayer Hawthorne, wasn’t able to perform but it was a great night after all. Chromeo played their first ever KC show and rocked it.
With all the coverage and documentaries playing on Sunday Sept. 11th, 2011 (the 10th anniversary), it was good to take time to remember. It doesn’t feel like it has been 10 years since that tragic day. 10 years ago, I was a Junior in high school-only 16 years old at the time. So when I walked into my drawing class […]
Continuing on my concert photography adventure… This week: Slightly Stoopid featuring Rebelution, Shwayze & Cisco @ Charter One Pavilion Northerly Island (08/27/11, Chicago, IL). All the acts put on a great show and had a lot of energy; I loved how they all collaborated during each other’s acts. With the summer coming to an end, I will miss the outdoor […]
Some people have their bucket list of things they would like to do before they die. Well I have a concert bucket list…a list of venues and bands I would like to cross off my list. One of the venues was Red Rocks in Morrison, CO; I had my sights set on 2 particular bands: 311 and Incubus. The stars […]
The time has come…football is back and here to stay (we hope)! While I don’t live in Kansas anymore, I will always be a Chiefs fan at heart. Chiefs N Chopper! I do live in Chicago and will root for the Bears as the team of the city I live in but going to Solider Field (for me personally) […]
In the midst of the ongoing job search I have tried to keep myself busy (outside of all the job searching). In doing new things I like to learn by experience and trying it myself–trial and error is my way and can either be my friend or enemy. Recently I have started to work on my concert photography which means […]
