Since I was in the room when this photo was taken and I'm closely related to the photographer, I can't help but get excited that its in Rolling Stone Magazine.
Rivers Cuomo (Weezer front man) did a special hootenanny at
Fingerprints Records in Long Beach back in November. It was the day
Alone II - Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo was released in stores. By some last minute change of plans, me and my husband Michael went to the event as journalists on behalf of the
LAist.com.
Michael Zampelli shot photos and
I captured the evenings events in writing.
Alone II is available on iTunes
There were some cool little milestones along the way such as getting on the
week around the ists list, having the photo published on The
Rolling Stone and
District Weekly's websites and seeing that the event itself was front page local news
in the Press Telegram. Plus, I was in a photo that was published on PressTelegram.com (I'm in the red sweater, standing beside Rivers Cuomo).
Today's milestone is the biggest and best of all so far; a photo published in Rolling Stone magazine. I've been looking at music magazines most of my life. Cool photos of my favorite musicians was probably one of things I most looked forward to seeing. It's fun to be a part of the story in the making. Major props to
Michael Zampelli AKA Rinkrat for this noteable accomplishment.
