Rufus Wainwright @ Rivinia
Rufus Wainwright at Rivinia, June 18, 2004
I'm really happy about this picture because it was taken from the back of the pavilion, where to the naked eye Rufus looked like a tiny dot on the stage. Hooray for my fancy camera.
This was my first time at Rivinia and it's an experience. Unlike most "pavilion plus lawn seats" concert venues, at Rivinia you can't see the stage from any part of the lawn. Instead, the concert is piped in from dozens of speakers all over the huge lawn. As a picnic venue, it's great. As a concert venue, it's a little odd -- to a degree, the concert might as well be recorded or broadcast from Cleveland or something. Most telling, I think, is that hardly anyone on the lawn clapped at the end of songs.

Sheeeit. I went to that show too. With my mommy. We were on the lawn right outside of the pavilion. Both Ben and Rufus were great, even though I was there to see Rufus.
