Say Anything / Motion City Soundtrack / Saves The Day / Valencia
As we inch closer to the holidays, the more I can expect my workload to increase. Yes, I know it’s not even Halloween, but this is the time of year people start planning Christmas cards & presents, and are also just getting their summer wedding photos developed. And I get to print em!
I did get a chance to get out and have a little fun on Tuesday. I was chosen by one of my all-time favorite bands, Saves The Day, to photograph their live show at The Showbox Sodo. Even better? – They were on tour with Motion City Soundtrack, Say Anything, and Valencia. The line-up was very nostalgic for me: right after graduating high school, my friends and I saw Saves The Day open for Green Day and Blink-182. Then in college, my new friends and I used to follow Motion City to every city from Chicago to Detroit. A band called JamisonParker opened up for them on one tour, and that’s where the Say Anything connection comes in – Parker is now in their lineup, as is Kenny from the Starting Line! Yeah, I was basically reliving 2002-2004, some of my favorite years.
So now you’ll understand why I had such a hard time narrowing these images down. Enjoy – and expect a couple more to pop up on flickr.
