Islands and BSS were awesome.
Great pics, especially of Ra Ra Riot.
You can watch footage that I shot of BSS's set on my work blog:

I was able to be on stage so it's pretty close up.

nice BSS footage!
God, I had so much fun at Siren this year. Still need to get my photos up on the interwebz.
I bled for these photos. Well, actually I didn't bleed. Rephrase, I melted for these photos.
I saw a photo of you with a water backpack! While you guys were sweating to indie rock in Coney Island I was eating pupusas in Red Hook. I think I got the better deal!
so it was really that good? I've always had bad experiences with the sound there. BSS weren't that great live when i saw them either. but that was like 4 years ago and they're probably pros now. I really wanted to see Malkmus again but heat+bad sound turned me off.
heat scared me. did they have cooling tents?
Hey G, yeah when I saw it was going to be almost 100 degrees I went out and got a CamelBak. I refilled it with ice water all day - it totally saved my ass. The heat was scary. There were kids who had waited all day in full sun at the front of the barrier. I hoped they had water, because it was completely packed in.
