SXSW09_Kid Cudi_0025

This show was mad ill son and it almost didn't happen. The bar manager takes the stage at about 1am to announce that Cudi cancelled. Ducking drinks as they fly by his head; he's trying to boot people from the audience, directing security to grab this one and that one. A freshly dress Cudi appears by my side and says "yo help me get up on the stage!" He had ran in the front door as his ride pulled around back to unload gear. He takes the stage and asks a favor of the audience. Obliged, we toss a fatty to him and he commences lift off. Great show! Thanks for the opportunity to share the photos! Hip hop lives!
