Go ahead to click on any image that tickles your fancy, and feel free to save it and make it your desktop background, or to print it out and hang it above your bed, so that you can have sweet, sweet dreams about The Shrine Expo Hall and the almighty Fatboy Slim experience. Hopefully you are able to have fun checking out our photos and video of the show, but it won't be nearly as awesome as the fun I had shooting these. The Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles is venue where no hesitation is needed when purchasing your ticket for the next event they have. I've been to a lot of venues, from an abandoned bull fighting rink, to a practically torn down building, with no air conditioning.
It was super open, and from what I could see the vibe in the whole place was pleasant for the entire night. The Shrine Expo Hall is a beautiful venue, simple as that. If he is ever coming through your area, please, do yourself a favor and gift yourself with the experience that is Fatboy Slim. There was not a dull moment in Fatboy Slim's performance. Jumping, screaming, shaking, pelvic thrusting, (possibly even twerking) non-stop. He's not the youngest guy out there, but this guy can bring it. At one point, he even came down and sat on the edge of the stage, about five feet from the crowd, and about fifteen inches from my face, as he lip syncs along with the crowd. His quirky antics on stage, matched with his bitchin' Hawaiian shirt, connected him personally with every single person in that room. Right off the bat, the crowd is going crazy, and so is Fatboy. He has decided to start his set off with Calvin Harris's widely popular remix of “Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat”. “So there was this DJ who was like, kickin' off…” and Fatboy Slim appears form the darkness.
