Riot Fest 2013

First day I dressed as a lady ringmaster. It was called Riot Fest and Carnival but I'm not sure many people got the carnival theme. As you will notice in the back right hand corner of this photo is a Bad Religion flag. They are old but still put on a hell of a show!





Two bands with tubas! Above is Environmental Encroachment. Also please take note of the amazing juggler in front of the tubas. That was his third costume change of the show. He started out in a suit, tie, and Mexican wrestling mask. Below is DeVotchKa! 


And last but not least Peter and I getting very wet on the last day of the festival. Rain at an out door festival usually weeds out the weak but this seemed to bring the punks more alive. We were standing in front of Chuck Ragan when this was taken. But moments later we crossed the lawn to another unknown to us band where an older man was dancing "Rob-style". (wildly failing the arms and legs about while barely keeping your footing on the ground) It's quite hard to do. You have to be willing to have your body always in some state of flux. Nearly falling down every 30 seconds is part of the dance. We tried to capture him but alas he was moving too quickly. Rob if you're reading this that man was you in 20 years.
