2006.04.23 - Todd Hannigan, Syd and Patrick Thomas @ Rockit Room
Let me start with a story. A couple years ago when I went to visit my good friend Rob at University of Texas, Austin, he played "Here's a Love Song" by Syd. Good song. We went hit the bars...got a bit drunk came back and Rob put it on again. NO...We are not lovers. haha. We passed out in the living room with it on repeat. I came back from a great weekend trip of frisbee golf and bar hopping and bought Syd's CDs. After I bought the CDs...I saw he covered Blink 182 - Damnit. A real cool, chill redition. Come to realize...I had it downloaded from Napster back from Freshman year in the dorms. Funny how Napster actually introduced me to two of my favorite artist...Howie Day...(stumbled onto his DMB-#41 cover and was hooked) and then Syd. From then on...I could only watch as Syd posted tour dates on the east coast. This last Sunday I got a chance to actually attend a show at Rock-It-Room, SF. It was a Sunday show but totally worth it. Syd and Patrick Thomas opened up for Todd Hanningan. Best 5 bucks I've spent. Great times! First time I used my 50mm 1.8 at an actual concert/club setting. Light was less than wonderful and hard as hell too shoot in. I wish I had a 1.4. Anyway..enjoy the pictures.
