As far as concerts go, I think whether one is left feeling that a show is satisfying or not depends first on the attitude he or she goes into the venue with in the first place. Clearly, a sold-out crowd for Third Eye Blind and openers Alpha Rev at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel last Tuesday night [...]
This was quite possibly the most difficult concert I’ve ever had to take photos at.
