The Strange Boys

My recap for Fun Fun Fun Fest is up at Accent. My Life and Arts Editor, David Rodriguez, recapped the Saturday bands and I recapped the Sunday bands. I'll post my Saturday recap as soon as I'm done but for now, you just get to read about my Sunday.

Sunday was a mud-filled day (minus the ACL Dillo Dirt) while it rained most of the festival. Fans still gathered at the four stages with raincoats and umbrellas to get their money's worth. Unfortunately, for this writer, most of my time was spent hanging out and interviewing bands in the media tent during the rain, as I did not want to get my expensive (for a college student's budget) equipment to get water damaged.

And for those that missed it, here is my slideshow from the Festival.

I attended Fun Fun Fun Fest for ACC's Accent with really no game plan. Since the issue is coming out a little later than the festival, the material will seem a little dated. So we were just gonna write about the bands we saw in little paragraphs just like we did for SXSW.

So I hung out with Ian Morales, my editor from Austin Vida, who also contributes for Double Stereo, and Ajay Miranda, known from 'Nites (check all links on the right), who I also work with at Austin Vida. They were conducting interviews for Double Stereo and doing a video podcast type of thing for each interview with audio and photos. The other photographers were out shooting the live shows, so they needed someone else to take photos of the actual interviews. That's where I came in.

So here are the interviews that feature my photography from Fun Fun Fun Fest. It was fun (no pun intended) and I wish I had the patience to do what Ajay did with editing so I can steal his idea and post more of these on my site. ;)
