Well, I suppose it is about time that I get around to writing about my weekend. I had meant to do it earlier, but this week has been flat out and am only finally getting the chance to do it now.

First things first, the Blues and Roots festival was absolutely fantastic! I had an absolute ball, tho it was tiring, I would do it again tomorrow.

Having a media pass was pretty good. Didn't have to worry about getting a good spot in the crowd to be able to see as I was right at the front between the stage and the crowd, so i only had to fight for a spot with other photographers, which wasn't all that bad :) Plus we had our own little media area where we could sit down and chill which was great. Plus there were free drinks all day, both days, which most others took advantage of as most of it was alcohol.

So much to write about, so I think I will just put a list of highlights for the weekend.
- Ben Harper!!
- Met Missy Higgins. She even signed my bag.
- Finally saw Wolfmother perform live
- Met Angus and Julia Stone
- Enjoyed the back stage BBQ organised by Triple J
- Met Sid from The Vasco Era
- John Mayer = awesome
- Met Bob Evans

It was all just so good!

For anyone who is interested, there are a bunch of pics at Perthnorg which is who i was there shooting for, here.

I also found out during the week that my flickr site was linked to here at enjoyperth.

And there is also a right up of the weekend from Perthnorg for day 1 and day 2.

Thanks for the link back!

Love the photos and am quite jealous (of photos and experience! :D )(though might've been able to get a media pass myself, but feels weird!)

Blues & Roots
Wow!

Hey Noodlez. Yes I noticed you had a media pass- and you got to bring your camera in. No professional cameras were allowed which was a bum considering that a 300 telephoto from where i was standing would have gotten a clear face shot of John Mayer. Sweet photos btw- I saw you taking them over the barricade and tried waving but of course, when you are next to people like John, Missy, Dan, Ben and the rest, why would you notice some random waving from the other side of the fence? =)

Sounds like you had fun- how'd you get a media pass? what's the secret? righteo.

oh, it's Laney btw, ;)
