Consider this your insider’s view to Corndogorama 2009! We hope everyone had a fantastic time. It was worth the sweat & there were no tears. Big thanks to our hero, the super talented, John Goetzinger for capturing so many of the amazing performances on film. John has a lot of experience shooting musicians in their natural habitat. And it shows! You can check out his flickr page here: http://flickr.com/photos/fuckyouninja/ or visit his blog here: http://atlantagardener.blogspot.com/ Stalk him on the facebooks here: http://www.facebook.com/people/John-Goetzinger/577807501

When I was not running around like a banshee, I had time to take a few point & shoots mostly backstage. The quality is not so good, but the moments are priceless. Enjoy!

Big ups!!!

Our love, adoration, and thanks to our heroes: Dave Chait! Aliya Carnes! Chris Gonzolez! Stephanie Howard! Travis Thatcher! Nick LeMay! Jon Price! John Goetzinger! Kellen Crosby! Jess Jones! You guys are for reals the best of friends. Damn you worked it. Dave, Aliya, Chris, Stephanie and Travis especially battled some seriously dangerous heat on Day I to look after the bands that played the festival this year. Ok, we almost lost Travis a few times. He & Meriam had been up all night the night before making us t-shirts, which Warren ended up freely distributing that evening. But Travis stuck it out even though he was scheduled to play the Official After Party @ 529 that night! (Killed it by the way! More fun than I thought I had in me! Seriously!) And if that was not enough, Mr. Thatcher showed up the next day with breakfast tacos for the troops! What a lovely human being. Chris ended up with sunstroke, but braved through Day I and is now on vacay in Sunny Philadelphia. All in a day’s work for those cats. They rock. You are all what 4th Ward Heroes is all about. And with Adam broke down somewhere between there and here with Abby Go Go, whom I lovingly referred to as “those abby boys” all weekend, I could NOT have held it down on Day I without you! So, thank you! – thank you! – thank you! I am working on a EAV 2$ margarita reunion night. To all of our friends who played their hearts out, thanks for taking the leap this year, and trusting that we would have your back. You guys rocked it. To Whynatte, who supplied the bands with a bathtub of free latte, what can we say? When we called, you delivered! You always do. You are heroes too. In case you have not heard, ha! I crack myself up, Whynatte is a jumpstart lattte company made up of some rad local boys who can and will change the way we do things round here. We love working with you. Good things. M!
