I don't know why I used this photo as my photo for today's blog, my friends. I just wish I could relive that day. Haha. Weird, I know. Kels and I drove up to Nashville because I had a photo pass and two tickets to shoot We The Kings and The Cab. Now those are my friends so I was more than happy to drive up there and put forth the money even if I wasn't getting reimbursed (which I was) just to hang out with them. We definitely had some hang time with the favorites. Travis sat down and we did an interview with him and it was more of a laugh fest because we kept acting retarded the entire way through. It was my favorite interview this far, next to interviewing Paper Route. Then after Travis was done, his brother was waiting and they went to hang out. During the show we went into the restaurant and Alex Marshall (seen in the photo) and Ian Crawford of the Cab were ordering their food and they invited us to come hang out and we talked for a while and stuff about random stuff. Like us telling about our cop adventure and everything. During one of the bands sets, Marshall walks up to me backstage and is like "You're going to get some photos of me right? Come to my side!" soooo I tried my best to stay hidden AND snap some quality photos of him. I tried my best. I did my best. I guess. All in all, it was fun. Danny Duncan tried to smuggle some PB&J sandwiches for me but failed. I don't know, I don't remember everything but I do remember promising Travis a red American Apparel hoodie next time I see him and he ended up leaving with my red Rayban Wayfares. Lucky him.
Anyway, this post was originally to say how weird I find it that suddenly shows aren't all that exciting. After I finish taking pictures, instead of mingling and talking to the bands, I usually just want to bolt out of there and go home. Is it bad that my life has subjected to work work and more work or is this typical? Shouldn't I enjoy myself a little if it's a band I like? I don't know what happened. It's like I depend on the work load at shows otherwise it seems so pointless now. And it's sucking now because when I go to shows out of state, the kids just know me as the This Year's Party girl or that photographer. I'm not just another one of them anymore. I know it means the site is clearly taking off but I don't know... I guess maybe it'll be a good thing in the long run.
