Downtown Hangout

Last Saturday, I went downtown with Brooke to the Box Office to see Jeffree Star perform. Turned out I was right about him cancelling his show. I at least thought the other 3 or 4 opening bands would be there, but nope- the place never opened! Haha. It was a good thing Fremont Street was just some blocks away.

We met up with friends Derrick & Brad and hungout at an amazing abandoned building near the Box Office. It had two vintage chairs on the side of it this time. Loved them!

Me, Brooke and Brad.

The amazing pair of chairs. I hope they will still be there for a while. Would love to incorporate them on a shoot.


Bracelets & Rings. Brooke and Derricks' hand's.

Some homeless people that were across the street from us. They were nice, said hello, asked us how we were and whatnot.

Once we got down to Fremont Street, we watched this woman perform some oldies. I liked how much she stood out. Very vibrant and energetic.

This woman was recording the ladies' performance.


And this woman was dancing the night away.


We then stopped to get a bite to eat at a pizza place. I got a soft pretzel.

We then went to go see a musican further down on Fremont Street. He has been performing on Fremont for nine years.



There was a man across from him on the left that was imitating his performance, but with a drink and straw instead. It was so priceless. Just had to photograph him.



The crowd.


Even though our plans didn't go as we wanted, the night was still very fun and memorable!
