So I shot the Big Ass Show this year, and the main act was Panic! at the Disco….without their frontman Brendon Urie, who had been hospitalized for “malaria” (who gets malaria these days in the USA?). The band decided not to cancel their set, and had the bassist and guitarist sing a couple songs in lieu of their normal lead, then had some guest fill-ins (all local artists) including Neon Trees’ Tyler Glenn. Sad to say but I think he probably outperformed a healthy Brendon Urie. Nevertheless, I thought the photo was kinda interesting, seeing Tyler Glenn on stage doing his thing with a Panic! at the Disco backdrop behind him.

For those that tolerate rock, and were not there, you missed a pretty good day.
