DO NOT POST THESE PICTURES ANYWHERE ELSE OR USE THEM TO MAKE COLLAGES OR GRAPHICS.


we got there at seven in the morning which i thought was early until i found out that some people camped out overnight! while waiting to get in i spotted these cookies that someone made for the band. they were labeled "more acid cookies", in reference to something andrew said at about 3:14 in this video:


people in the crowd painting themselves during sound check.

mgmt's sound check guy, whom the crowd affectionately nicknamed "mickey mouse".

from their set:



































andrew with his little whistle/pipe/flute/whatever it is he's blowing into.



andrew examining a bra that a girl threw at him.


matt was positioned right behind ben and his keyboard, so the only time i was able to photograph him was when they were all walking off the stage.

i made these with my psychedelic printer.

also, i don't know if she'll ever see this, but i really want to say thank you to anna dansak. without the fantastic zoom lens she sent me last summer, none of these pictures would have been possible!

surfer blood opening for mgmt at the us open of surfing. both bands were absolutely fantastic live! this was my first real concert and it exceeded all expectations. the only thing that made me sad was that i wasn't able to actually meet any of the band members. hopefully i'll get to someday! i might be going to another surfer blood show in september, so who knows?
