Alison Mosshart of The Dead Weather. Not the best picture, but her hair was in her face the entire time so I share it only so you can see what she actually looked like that night.

One of Thievery Corporation's many collaborators.  The critically-acclaimed DJ duo of Rob Garza and Eric Hilton can be seen in back behind the DJ booth.  None of us were tall enough to actually get them!

M.I.A. dancer "White Boy" at Street Scene, 2009. He was wearing a Michael Jackson t-shirt, as were some of the band members.  There was a photographer in the pit with me wearing a Michael Jackson head band.  It was Michael Jackson's birthday on Saturday.

The crowd watching M.I.A. at Street Scene, 2009.  I just love crowd shots from music shows - they can contain so much drama and emotion.

Sharon Jones' heels and ankle bracelets.  I love that Andy shot so many shoes - how did I not think of that? I mean, I'm certain I love shoes more than Andy.  By the way, did you ever rock the ankle bracelet? I totally did back in the day.

I was so happy to discover this special moment from the Busta Rhymes set.  I happened to snap just when this guy got clocked by the "It Might Get Loud" promotional beach ball.  It's special moments like this that I long to capture for you, dear readers.
