The song Under the Influence(r) got me through a lot of rough emo nights this year so naturally when I saw The Summer Set was headlining with Senses, I knew this is a show I had to be at. But for the life of me I couldn’t figure out who to message for a press pass. All my emails were getting kicked back. I tried messaging on social media but that’s always a last ditch effort as a lot of bands get messages all day from being tagged and yours will get buried and unseen. Finally I was just like oh well. At least I’ll get to see them play.
Cut to being at the venue. I hadn’t shot at The Beacham before and both ends of the barricade were open. Being a rule follower, I needed to know which side to come in on, so I went to security to ask. They must of been confused because after leaving for a minute he came back with the tour manager for The Summer Set. In the sweetest tone I’ve ever heard she said “Hi, I’m J******, I heard you had a question?” “I am so sorry,” I replied, “my question was more for the venue about which side they want us to enter the barricade on. I didn’t mean to waste your time. But while I have you here, I am already shooting for Senses and wanted to see if it was alright to shoot The Summer Set as well?” She was so nice and gave me the go ahead and stipulations. Sometimes things just happen the way they’re supposed to. So with that, enjoy The Summer Set.
