I can’t say that I have ever been to Ohio before. I probably have and just don’t remember it, but either way I was not exactly excited about going to Cleveland.  My dad used to work in Cleveland all the time so I was half expecting to run into someone who looks exactly like me only to find out about a second family my dad had, otherwise who would willingly spend that much time in Ohio?

When the Why Do I Live Like This tour stopped at B Side Liquor Lounge in the suburbs of Cleveland I was not exactly surprised to see about a half dozen people on the dance floor and another dozen watching from the sides.  It was Sunday night and I had a feeling this was going to be a disaster.  I had pretty much committed myself to not having any fun and I was sitting in the smoking area out back playing on my iPad. The crowd had gotten better by this point and Prince Terrence started yelling at me for sulking and somehow convinced me to take photos.  The first girl I shot Terry had just started talking to. Her name was Haley Ann and it turns out she runs the B Side Blog.

She introduced me to everyone and told me the hip kids to photograph. I ended up having a lot of fun and took a bunch of photos and after the bar has closed Haley and I went into the mens room and shot some old school naked bathroom photos until my camera ran out of batteries and we had to go back to the hotel.  Those pictures will be up on Monday probably, but there is a little NSFW teaser at the end of this set to get you excited.

Also, totally randomly Trail Of Dead were playing upstairs at the Grog Shop and I ran into Jason who is one of the owners of Beauty Bar Austin. I didn’t get to talk to him much but it was good to see him anyway.

Anyway, click here to see all the photos of The Get Up at B Side in Cleveland, OH.
