Ok, so this saturday was the Future Classic Festival at SOHO Studios in the Wynwood Art District area of Miami or as most of us know it as Overtown aka the hood. Got word of this event from my friend Sammy on friday and decided to give it the green light and go. N.E.R.D. being the headliner of the festival made it that much easier to go, which didnt really work out in the end, more on that issue later. So me ans my buddy Frank (Fal Photography) walked up to the entrance and i just said " hey, we're media" holding my camera in my hand. the bouncer looked at me and just waved me in to the next guy, told him i was media and well wouldnt you know... there i am standing inside smiling, thinking that was way to easy. I feel its worth it to them tho anyway because technically I am media anyway, working for beachfront news and doing my own private work i think classifies me as ok. So we did our thing walking around checking out the art, dancers, graffiti, and performers at the venue. For the most part everything was a good time and we had access to anywhere we wanted to go. I even made money while being here at this event because some guy decided to "make it rain" while i was standig atop the vert ramp. I slid down face first hungry for that cash! made an extra $20 right there and later found drink tickets which i sold. So yeah, i made money for having a good timeand doing something i love to do. The disappointment of the night though came when we were waiting for N.E.R.D. to come on stage and the security or whoever's decision it was kicked all media out from in front of the stage and told the videographers no video. GARBAGE! it was a shame for that, but hey what you gonna do. I left immediately after this went down, plus whoever was working the soundboard must be deaf because the speakers were blasting the whole night wayyyy too loud on the inside main stage. Like i said though, it was a great night and i had a blast for free.. well making money ha. Here are some of the shots from the festival and for all the shots you can check my flickr @ www.flickr.com/photos/therealmiamivice
