Siren Festival Girl - m4w - 32 (* see below)

hey...you know who you are...we exchanged glances, (or was i suffering from heat stroke and imagining the whole thing??). you are the adorable indie-looking girl
approx 25-30. * this was either at the dodos, ra ra riot, steven malkmus, bss, the boardwalk, surf ave...

after i saw you i had to jump in the ocean to cool off, and i think i may have ingested discarded medical waste in the process, so don't you see...i am very deserving of your reply. [Craigslist] (via)

Great pictures! Great times at Siren as usual, despite the insane heat. I was trying to figure out why the stage by the Cyclone is the main stage, and the only thing we could come up with is because it's next to the Cyclone, so it makes it better for photos. The sound is inferior and there is less room for the audience at the main stage though.

great fucking pics...looks like fun!

really nice photos. the islands were fun, rarariot too. the islands guitarist was ridiculous. so great. like his facial expressions and stuff, he was just too cool for school.

some of those photos are true artistry. its like that famous saying, when you take a photo dont try to capture EVERYTHING, capture ONE THING, and boa captures that ONE THING, over and over. excellent.

The first photo, of the Cyclone and the crowd in the Islands' guys glasses, is a great, great capture.

yeah I agree, that photo gives me shivers!

Allie of RaRaRiot is so HOT, I can't imagine I'm her only stalker! Oh, and the rest of the band played a great set too.

Posted by Anonymous | July 21, 2008 11:09 AM

Chick from RaRaRiot is HaHaHawt!

Posted by Anonymous | July 21, 2008 11:15 AM

Allie is also very talented and humble and kind.

Islands were SO much better than the last time I saw them. No comparison. Great set.

I wish I could have seen more of Jaguar Love...I wanted to see if they were going anywhere with that set. Alas, Ra Ra Riot (and lovely Alex) called.

wish the dodos could have played longer...there set got delayed for some reason. But Ra Ra and Islands made up for it. What a great day!

Awesome pictures! I too had fun.

'Allie is also very talented and humble and kind.'

and too hot.

That cello player from Ra Ra Riot is unbelievably sensual. I couldn't help staring at her through several sets at SXSW earlier this year.

Posted by randy | July 21, 2008 12:52 PM

great pictures of your performance

Posted by hair loss product | July 21, 2008 12:54 PM

"great pictures of your performance"

THANKS!

Posted by bald guy | July 21, 2008 1:04 PM

that cellist got a mean titty game.

Posted by god below | July 21, 2008 1:06 PM

Ra Ra Riot was excellent, as was Beach House although not really appropriate for a rock festival setting. Allie apparently thought a bra was a shirt, but hey, it was insanely hot out so perhaps that was her logic.

Posted by Liz | July 21, 2008 1:39 PM

Playing with that chick's parts would be a labor of lust

jaguar love should go back to rock school...

that would be a ra ra riot

jaguar love were really good and they are a relatively new band. Complex patterns of sound.

The Dodos and Islands ripped it on Saturday. To all those assholes who keep saying they were glad they didn't go. shut the hell up. It was a decent festival of music considering it was fucking free. so just shut the fuck up and stay inside listening to your great music in your apartments instead of leaving your homes.
