Every year Billabong puts on this charity event to benefit different charities each year. This year it was The Cultivate Foundation. That is all about famers and getting the USA of processed food. The event was major fun. I got to work my photo skills again and shot the event along with a bunch of other photographers. But I had something they didn't have...ALL ACCESS. I got to go where ever I wanted. The night was long even when the event ended it didn't stop. The party then spilled over to the W hotel where most of the VIPs and Billabong Staff was staying. The night started off with great DJ's getting everyone excited to see some live music. They were followed by the first band
IMAGINE DRAGONS
Followed by WALK THE MOON
Next Was the Fashion Show. Where they showcased the Spring 2013 swim line
After that was THE LUMINEERS. I was un able to get any photos of them due to I was pulled to VIP to shoot some photos of famous people. Sean White, Miss Cali, Glee Cast you know people like them.
Last but certainly not least was THE JOY FORMIDABLE
This event is all was a must and blows every other industry event out of the water. US Open Of Surfing has nothing on this event. Here is a little recap video of the night.
