Orange is not a colour, it's a state of mind

These photos were taken by We Do Photography & Design as official photographers on the night, and it’s with their kind permission that I show them here. For the full gallery, please visit the WeDo Rocktober site.
The stage & crowd (spot me there right up the front … stage left)
The drummer concentrating hard
Exhausted in the green room during the break
The crowd really getting into it
Me enjoying it in my own way!
October 4th, 2010 — Out and about
Took some video footage of one of the songs on my camera at Rocktober on Friday night – had to chop the video in half to get it up to Flickr but here you go – rather a lot of footage of The Mister, but hey, that’s what I was there for! (if you want to see them a bit bigger – go to Flickr: Part 1 http://is.gd/fHRTB Part 2 http://is.gd/fHS0n)
October 2nd, 2010 — Out and about, What I've been doing
I’m hoarse! Had a night jumping and screaming in my ear muffs, swooning at the drummer in Golden Axes making their debut performance at Rocktober last night! Wow – not my kind of thing but a great night. The Mister is SO talented – so amazing to see him in action behind the drums – hard to believe he hasn’t played for 15 years!!
Rocktober started out with me digging out some 80’s rocker photos from my university days to get into the spirit of it.
Then I wore Dean’s original Iron Maiden t-shirt to work all day, trying to pull off an 80’s my-boyfriend’s-in-the-band kind of look – I remember when Dean wore this shirt all the time!
Then it was time – The Mister was up on stage
and people were screaming and waving at the band!
God it was awfully loud, but I was somewhat protected in Father’s lawn-mowing ear muffs and it was great seeing the crowd really get into it – there were loads of people from work there including some that had left their kids at home and brought their partners out. I was really proud 🙂
