You might have noticed the lack of updates on the site lately. Since the Warped Tour in Scranton at the end of July, I haven’t gone to a show. That’s because I’m starting to cut back on shows, at least temporarily. It’s just too expensive going to all these shows where I currently live. Plus there are other factors as well.

I’ve been meaning to take a trip to Eastern State Penitentiary every since I saw it on the episode of Ghost Hunters. It just looked like a cool place with a lot of history and looked like it would be great to take pictures of as well. That certainly was the case since a lot of people at the prison had a good camera. I went down to Philly with my girlfriend Kristen, my twin brother Matt and we met up with our friend Jim to take us around the city and be our tour guide.

Katy Perry became famous right as she started the The Vans Warped Tour. I had no idea who the hell she was until she started the tour. Her number 1 hit single “I Kissed the Girl” is the song of the summer and many people flocked to the Hurley.com stage to see her perform at the Warped Tour in Scranton, PA. I wanted to make sure to get some photos of her because she’s popular now, plus she’s not too bad on the eyes either.

I don’t normally post too many non-photo blogs on here (although I probably should). But I have to tell you all about a new album I reviewed on ReadJunk.com that everyone should check out. It’s from one of my favorite bands, The Levellers and its called Letters From The Underground. The album comes out August 12th in the UK; not sure when it comes out in the States though. All I know is that everyone needs to get it! Read the review after the jump:

Last time I saw Street Dogs, it was back in 2005 on the Warped Tour at Randall’s Island. I got a great shot of Mike jumping from the speakers and I was hoping to get another one this year. The band was one of the few bands I really wanted to check out this year on the tour. Mike always brings his “A game” when he comes to performing and this year they didn’t disappoint either!

The last time I saw The Aggrolites, they opened for the Dropkick Murphys at Tinks in Scranton, PA. I was supposed to have passes for that and Epitaph messed up. Thankfully The tour manager of the Dropkick Murphys got me into the show so I could see at least The Aggrolites. I was impressed with the band’s live show and they moved around so much for being a reggae band…well Dirty Reggae band.

Against Me was the first band I took photos of at this year’s Vans Warped Tour. Instead of going to Long Island or New Jersey to see the Warped Tour, I decided Scranton, PA was the best place to see it. The drive is a lot better for me where I live. I was at The Warped Tour last year here as well and thought it wasn’t too bad. I’ve seen Against Me a few times but never at the Warped Tour. I thought they did a good job.
