Siren Festival 2009, Coney Island, New York
I’ve really been taking advantage of all the free summer events in NYC this summer. Saturday, I attended the Siren Festival at Coney Island with some friends visiting from Denmark. We watched the bands all day. Standouts: Spanx Rock from B’More, Monotonix and The Ravonettes. That night, to avoid the post festival subway crowds, we hung out on the beach amongst the disgusting piles of garbage, swapped stories about trips to foreign lands and got our feet wet in the dirty sea. Here are some photos for you to enjoy. :>

We spent a majority of our time behind this wire fence which separated the beer garden from the audience. It was off stage right and we had a perfect view most of the time. Here you can see our friend Anders enjoying some tunes sans t-shirt.
Beautiful view of the Wonder Wheel at sunset. This was just about the time the Ravonettes wrapped up their set.
The best thing about Coney Island is the people watching. My friend Laleh and I share a laugh over, what I am sure is something wild and crazy.
