One Night In Austin Crowd Shots – 3.20.10
So Perez Hilton did his big party in Austin and a ton of bands played and there was an insane crowd of people trying to get in and total madness and all that. I just sort of shoved my way through until I was somehow over a barrier and the security grabbed me and I started yelling shit about the Village Voice and they brought me to some table at which point they let me in without even asking my name or to see any ID. Then again, as media you didn’t really get to actually enjoy the party. They sort of ran us around like sheep, keeping us in this caged off back area. At one point before Snoop came in we had to all stay in one room that was about 100 degrees and all of the photographers missed shooting Estelle because of it. We also didn’t get to see more than one song of Snoops set. I was pretty annoyed. So I did get out a little bit to shoot the crowd but I had to keep coming back to get lined up for shooting the bands. But it was much better set up last year, which is why most of these crowd shots are actually back stage shots, with just a handful of actual crowd pictures. I’ll be back with the band photos in a few minutes, until then…
