a while back, i posted that i’d be going to a Foo Fighters concert. and as exciting as that was in itself, what was really awesome was the fact that i was going with one of our couples.
dean messaged me on skype one day asking if i’d be free that upcoming day. intrigued, i asked why. there are many things that he and amy share together – and an intense love of the Foo is one of them. and they wanted to share that love with me…
i got into the city a bit early so i took the time to wander, explore, and take photos as things caught my eye. i don’t spend that much time in downtown Toronto, so it was a great chance to get to know that corner of the city a little bit better.
and what’s even better was that the photos i took of the surroundings were a great addition to the story of the day. from tour buses (which totally reminded me of the Cinema Caravan tour we did in the summer of 2010 – we were in Alice Cooper’s bus for a month!) and security guards keeping the peace, to landmarks of the city reflected in other landmarks, the atmosphere set the mood for an awesome day.
but the best part was the fact that i got a window into something that dean and amy love – a window that they were really excited to share with me. you know, it’s one thing to enjoy what you do for a living, but it’s quite another to get to experience amazing new things together with people who become lifelong friends!
it was really fun going all “covert ops” during the concert itself, sneaking pics here and there. they’ll let people in with point-and-shoots, but the minute the venue staff sees an SLR, they get a little controlling. challenge accepted…
i’m ray. call me big T, RT, waymond. whatever it is just don’t call me raymond. that’s reserved for my driver’s license, passport and when i get in trouble.
