Tonight's show was a lot of fun. I was shooting with the same people from Cage the Elephant so familiar faces and I was used to the venue so I was comfortable. After the show I went to get pizza with the other photographers and got a chance to talk to them without the loud music overpowering our conversations so that was nice. I was talking to one of the photographers in the beginning about shooting and different stuff along those lines and I brought up Adam Elmakias (music photographer and awesome human being) and she knew who he was, as most people shooting music photography should know who he is, and I just liked being able to talk to other people about stuff that I care about. Side note, Adam Elmakias is the main reason I wanted to get into music photography and he is a huge inspiration to me.

Anyways, on to talking about the show. I did not get confirmation that I was even shooting this show until around 5:30, and doors opened at 6 and I live about 30 minutes away from the venue. I had almost about given up on being able to shoot it but in the end it all worked out and I had plenty of time to get there and get in. I was super excited because I still had the 24-70mm lens in my possession, I have to return it tomorrow, but I was happy to get two shows out of it. And this was my first time shooting a show where people were crowd surfing and falling into the photo pit.
