All the pictures i ever took at shows at wonderroot

2014-2017

so i tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time

pretty much all of these, except for the very last few were taken with my old flip phone's very bad camera. i've never been big on taking pictures at shows anyway, and i never really posted them because they came out pretty bad, but what with wonderroot's building being torn down, i was feeling nostalgic, and thought i'd try to put them all together in one place.

for a complete list of all the shows i ever went to at wonderroot, as always, consult the showlog (older than 2017)

 

click images to embiggen, but they won't look much better.

 

if anyone has any pictures of shows at wonderroot that i can be seen in, let me know, i'd like to see them, i know there are a few out there.

whats left, 02/29/2020.

a pile of rubble in the former location of wonderroot, taken from the standpoint of the homegrown parking lot.

 

i stopped by the pile on the way back from another show, and stood on that floor one last time. i wish i'd have thought to stand in about the place i might have been at a show, and take a picture in the direction of the wall, but there really would't have been much to see, and it was dark.

this picture is pretty close, but it's a screenshot from a video so the quality isn't great.

the back wall of wonderroot that i'd seen so many times before, this time with no bands in front of it, only the scattered ruins of what once was.

 

i did manage to bring home one of the electrical boxes off of the ceiling, and a chunk of concrete block from where the wall changed from red to white

a bent pice of conduit, and electrical box, and a piece of concrete with red and white paint on it.

 

again, i kinda wish i'd have gotten a picture of this while it was still in the pile, but the lighting was much better after i got home

i got some pretty decent quality video of one side of the ibeam (though not as good as 'd hoped), downloading it from this site will probably be slow, just ask and i'll send it to you some other way. here it is anyway: wonderbeam.mp4 (391mb)
