A full day after the end of Bamboozle, and I think I still have a festival “hangover.” With three days of live music, there was plenty to shoot. Some of the highlight acts of the weekend were A Day To Remember, Dashboard Confessional, Travie McCoy, New Found Glory, Bruno Mars, and a surprise guest appearance by Jack's Mannequin. And, let's not forget a pit shoot for Lil Wayne.

On that note, here's a quick preview from Bamboozle 2011 in beautiful East Rutherford, New Jersey.
