The Wong Way
Back in July 2006, I bought my first digital SLR camera. The very next day, I brought it with me to Siren Festival in Coney Island. Although the shots from that concert didn't turn out too hot - too far away, too much of a novice with the camera - I wasn't deterred from future attempts at concert shooting. Ultimately, I decided to start a musicblog, titled The Wong Way, featuring photos I took from the concerts I went to. It ran regularly from July 2006 to December 2006 and while I'd like to start it back up some day, I prefer to just enjoy concerts from the sidelines. But who knows what the future will bring, right?

After Monique Ortiz was Yoni Gordon – I’d make the comparison to Ted Leo but he’s already addressed that issue on his own web site. It’s an apt description since has the same driving falsetto and makes use of vocal inflections in the same way that Ted does. Of course, Ted has The Pharmacists backing him up and Yoni has audience members on the mike. This was strictly a one man on the guitar performance – kudos to him for performing on the concert floor instead of the stage.
