 By: Molly Bowen

Before entering the outdoor concert at The Blue Room, Garrett Blair, a member of the security staff greets you at the door to scan your tickets. Garrett helps to maintain safety throughout the night and ensures everything runs smoothly. 

 

Three women wait in line to scan their tickets before entering. Each of them expressed their excitement for the night. 

Pictured is the outside of the concert venue, which doubles as a bar. The exterior can certainly be misleading at first, but once you are fully in the venue everything changes. 

Concert goer Jaylon Moisant enters the concert happily with a smile. Moisant drive several hours from out of town to spend time with his friends this weekend. 

Concert attendee smiles with his alcoholic beverage moments before the concert. The concert was just about to begin and the crowd was beginning to form. 

Hayden Vick is pictured tipping the bartenders after ordering a round of drinks for himself and his friends. “I always make sure to treat the bartenders right,” Vick said.

Concert attendees pass the time before the show by playing corn hole. There were several games set up for  the public, corn hole was the most popular by far. 

Tom Green, Terry Turner, and Ryan Wood (pictured from left to right) approach the bar for a drink. The three have attended several concerts at this venue before. 

Bartender Drew Walker takes payments for drink orders. The bar stayed very busy throughout the night and both bartenders were calm under pressure. 

The bartender pours two shots of fireball for a concert attendee. This seemed to be a favorite throughout the night, the bartender said they typically go through four bottles each night. 

Four men gather around the bar just prior to the concert starting. They shared they all agreed to buy their concert tickets in May, and have been looking forward to this all summer. 

Three men smile as they wait in line to order their beverages. Cody Temple, (pictured on the far right) said he last minute decided to come after the men on his left gave him a call.

The concert begins with singer song writer Lane Whiddon. Whiddon sang several cover pieces and a few of his originals throughout the evening. 

Bartender Jerrico Trujillo and barback Memphis Austin smile for a picture. The two got a moment to breathe when the concert began, and were happy to have a short break. 

A group of women gather around a table as they watch the concert. As the night continued people gathered closer to the stage to singalong and dance. 

The crowd talks amongst each other. While singer Lane Whiddon took a short break everyone took a moment to regroup. 

Three women sitting at a picnic table smile for a picture. The three women shared they had just moved in together this past week, and this was their first outing together. 

Bartender Jerrico Trujillo prepares a mixed drink for a customer. During the short break the crowd flocked to the bar to refill their drinks. 

Two kitchen cooks smile together as they prep food. The two knew with the intermission they were going to get busy quick. 

Two kitchen cooks prep buffalo chicken wraps. As the two finished up their prep the line had already started to form.

  
Another member of the security team Jacob Carlson scans identification for those who want to drink. Carlson also helps enforce dress code and safety policies, which he said can be difficult.

Hi everyone, my name is Molly Bowen. I am super excited to be in this class, it is my very last college class. Aside from the excitement of closing this chapter, I am truly excited for the knowledge this class will provide me with. My experience with photojournalism is very limited, aside from my intro to journalism class and casual use of cameras in my life. My experience with DSL cameras is very limited, but I have operated one in the past. When taking pictures I mainly use my phone, so I am excited to learn how to properly use a camera and navigate its settings.

[PHOTOSTORY 3: ADITL] Lauren Simon GRWM!

 

Lauren Simon is sleeping. Almost time to wake up for the day.

She is awoken by her alarm. She is struggling to get out of bed today. 

Right when she wakes up she heads to the bathroom. She always brushes her teeth first.

Next, she washes her face. This helps her wake up for the day. 

Lauren exits the bathroom and starts to brush her hair. It look longer because her hair was knotted from sleeping. 

After brushing her hair, Lauren changed into her outfit for the day. She decided to wear athletic wear today. 

Next she heads to her desk to put in her contacts. She just started using them so it takes some time to put them in. 

After finally getting her contacts in, she does some light makeup. 

Lauren eventually heads to the kitchen to empty out the dishwasher. She said she hates doing the dishes. 

After doing the dishes lauren starts to unload the dryer. Today is a day for doing chores!

She then starts to fold everything. Lauren went to put everything away as well. 

Finally it was time to eat! Lauren went to reheat left overs from yesterday. 

After a few minutes in the microwave her food was reheated. She decided to eat mac n cheese from Bull and Barrel. 

After eating a quick bite, Lauren heads to her desk again. She wanted to check up on some school work.

Now, her dog Sarge kept barking asking for attention. He was being a good dog and shook when asked. 

Now as the day winds down, Lauren goes to the couch to hang out for the rest of the day. It has been a day of doing chores. 

As seen here, Lauren and her dog Sarge are chilling on the couch. See you next time!
