So Close...

Upon leaving Endfest '00, Dain and I run across Coby, the lead singer from the band Papa Roach. He was on his way out too so we hurriedly huddled together--well everyone but me--and before I could wedge myself in between Dain and Coby, I heard "cheese" and when I looked up I saw the flash from the piece of shit Safeway-brand 35mm disposable I had packed with me.


I didn't know this picture was taken until after it appeared in the local newspaper. In the above picture I'm trying to be sociable around Tom from MxPx, my girlfriend, and one of my co-workers. Had I known a picture was going to be taken, I would have tried to position myself behind someone ;)


When we lined up to take this photo, I thought to myself, "you know better--get your ass in front," but after sizing up the other meet and greeters I had noticed that the majority of the fans around me were teenie-boppers and were well-below my 6'0" height. What I didn't factor in was Mike's fro. Damn, that's a lot of hair!
