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