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.

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.

I’ve been a fan of the Young Dubliners for 8 years but this was the only 2nd time of seeing them live. Bassist Brendan Holmes, who’s also a fellow photographer, hooked me up with passes for the evening so that was really nice of him. My girlfriend Kristen had a class in CT earlier in the day, so I had to travel to NYC via CT. Well, first had to go to Suffern where my twin brother lived then down to NYC. The doors opened at 6pm but the concert didn’t start til 8pm. We arrived at 7:30pm and we were shocked that there weren’t that many people there. The band hasn’t been to NYC in awhile so that surprised me. Tables were setup for eating and since I was really hungry, I had to get some food. The band came on around 8pm and rocked out regardless of the size of the crowd.

Happy 03th birthday to me! Last Saturday was my 30th birthday..and I guess my twin brother Matt’s birthday too. I can’t believe I’m 30 already, it’s quite depressing. I was trying to figure out what to do for my birthday this year. I wanted to put on a show but I didn’t have the money for that. I was going to go away to Montreal with Kristen but again, that whole money thing. So I invited some friends over for a night of just hanging out, eating junk food and just having a good time.
