    Emily looks like she’s going to punch Barrett. And Narum looks like he’s thinking, WTF?

    Narum looks like he’s ready to attack.

    I like the Sarah Heimer one. She’s all disappointed in Barrett’s thumb.

    Also wondering if Paul Photoshopped some of these pics.

    Claire, I know it’s hard to believe Barrett was able to give thumbs up to all these amazing people in one week, but I assure you the photos are authentic.

    I dunno, Paul, his smile looks EXACTLY THE SAME in every damn pic! But I know you to be a man of great integrity, so I stand corrected, and am sure these pics are all authentic.

    Saturday’s photo clearly shows Tina smoking. Special privileges to Homegrown performers to smoke inside?

    Sarah Heimer’s Thought bubble – “Is this guy f*%king serious??”

    I was there for the Heimer pic. She was not enthused about the size of Barrett’s thumb.

    p.s. I had the same thought about Sat’s pic until I realized they were indeed outside R.T.’s.

    I stand corrected;)

    The hair is different in every picture.

    It looks to me like Sarah was thinking about where that thumb might have been.

    Rich looks mad that someone is taking his picture.
    That’s funny.

    Barrett is the Terry Richardson of Duluth

    Is Heiko dressed as a priest? WTF?

    Next year I’m going to shoot a daily photograph of Paul Lundgren enthusiastically flipping the bird.

    Six months after Homegrown, but just in time for election season, I ran into Minnesota Gubernatorial candidate Chris Wright outside the Xcel Energy Center before the Roger Waters concert.

    Of course, I gave the “Hemp for Victory” candidate my enthusiastic thumbs up.

    During the concert, the people in the row in front of me smoked enough pot that I thought I might have enough of a second-hand buzz to imagine a pig floating in front of me.

    Of course, if you’ve studied your Floyd properly you know that pigs can fly.
