While I thoroughly enjoyed posting about being at the tame beginning of Sturgis a few months ago, I was a little disappointed I didn't try to work in these guys a little more.
So in order to get me back into the groove of posting and to give the coming photo sets a jumping off point, I present a softer take on the Sturgis rally:
Van's Warped Tour - Minneapolis /
On this trip I've been experiencing America one microcosm at a time. Van's Warped Tour is a weird mix of teenage ideals and the consumerism that surrounds it. It's youth in America.
Riff Raff was boring while I was in the photo pit but eventually woke up. Maybe he was as hungover as I.
Baby Baby killed it as always. Love those guys.

El Paso Street Fest 2015 - Weezer /
Weezer is rare breed of band that will make make me unashamed to dance like an idiot and headbang to pop-rock riffs for over an hour (even though this is my natural state). It's obvious at the point that they're just having fun and I can dig that.
Also, a fight broke out during Say It Ain't So #wrestlewithjimmy

El Paso Street Fest 2015 - Rob Zombie /
Rarely have I seen a crowd go so hard as during Rob Zombie's performance of Superbeast. Dozens of people had to be pulled out of the crowd near the stage. This allegedly prompted a severely inebriated woman to make her way to the control panel and pull random cords to stop the show. After the song, the show stopped for a solid five minutes while everything was put back in order and more people were pulled from the crowd. It was the third song of the night.
