My famous revolver shot backstage at Cornerstone before performing.  Do you see my henna tattoos?? Sonia V. and the B-side Boys band - Ricky B. Rogers, Matthew Burgess, Sonia V. and Bruce Bradley
Cstone slurpies I love my band, they rock!
   
Sonia V. with the B-side Boys band trying to pose for Rolling Stone Magazine we'll never get the cover of:
Bruce Sonia, Matthew  and Ricky B.
Should I wear this outfit?  Oh, You look Marvelous!
A face even a mother couldn't love.  I am the evil twin! Matthew's Double Platinum 3 Doors Down plaque thingy that hangs in his house. 
Elephant wallpaper at the awesome Indian Restaurant we ate at...did you know that "Dude" really means the hair on an elephants butt?  Matthew, Sonia and Bruce did the Indian Restaurant thing.  Aside of also being a vegetarian, Matthew loves Indian food as much as I do!  We're still trying to convert Bruce.
Bad boy Ricky B....Kid Rock and Motley Crue must have rubbed off on him a bit!  Plus everyone thinks he looks like Vince Neil...I can see the resemblance.  But no leather pants this week :-(  At least he's supporting some of the vegetarian causes! Bruce, Sonia and Ricky eating at some "meat" restaurant for Ricky...I had lettuce which was the only thing on the menu I could eat.  Aren't those cool Sonia V t-shirts they're wearing??!!!  Get yours now!
Mad Man Matthew Burgess...my partner in crime. Matthew's drum room...this is only half of it and all the many percussion instruments he owns!
This is as weird as Bruce gets...he's usually pretty low key and just shakes his head at all the rest of us weirdos! Me being a big mouth as usual and eating the microphone
   
Me & Jesse Sprinkle hanging at the merch table

Alfred Porter of Signet and Sonia V. trying to sell some CD's
Here's Jesse's serious pose. Alfred sold one!  It was mine!
Sonia V. & Signet  - www.signetplanet.com I've met my match with Alfred's big mouth!
Signet Rocks! Vocalist Alfred Porter of Signet rocks the crowd
Me & Matthew saying our last prayers before meeting our maker in Gloryland on the "Air Glory" bungy swing thingy.... Me & Matthew bowing before the Almighty...
Me & Matthew being lifted in the "Air Glory"... That's Matthew clutching to my arm tightly...
First Screams....ahhhh! Super Man Wanna Be's...
We did it!!!! 
 
That was wicked! Can I keep this turtle suit?  It's the next fashion statement.
Look who stopped by the Sonia V. merch table!  Ken Tucker of the Back Porch Pilgrims (former guitarist for Larry Norman and Moreover's New Trick)  Ken rocked the Rock For Life stage at Cstone with his Blues Rock! The Divine Design Tatto guy.  You can sorta see my 2 tattoos he did in the other picture with Ken.
My very own charachture drawn by D. Ramirez of Fusco who is a very talented artist, at least at drawing cartoon people like me...I made it easy for him cuz I normally look like a cartoon. Cornerstone Feet.  This is pretty much how everyone's feet looked at Cstone if you went around barefoot or with flip flops most of the time like me.  No, these aren't my feet, just some backstage dude who let me use the shot for my next CD cover.
J. Jackson of ApologetiX in his Slim Shady get up.  This guy changes costumes as much as any woman performer I've ever seen!

The band with my sis Serena who sang bgv's - thanks sis!
Sonia V. with Kurios   www.kuriosband.com Flatfoot56 graced the Damos booth and merch shoppers with a bagpipe solo!  Rock on FF56
Flatfoot56 in the Underground tent. www.flatfoot56.com My new fan!
That's Jesse Sprinkle playing drums with psychodelic lights! Dead Poetic Rocks!  www.deadpoetic.com My favorite mosh buddies!
One of my favorite performances aside of Flatfoot56 and Signet was Roper! Here's Reese with his big keyboard solo!
Here's crazy boy Reese, did I mention Roper is Dumb?  Check 'em out at www.roperisdumb.com These vintage rock ties I have been collecting for years went like hotcakes!  Next time you're at a one of my shows, pick one up - they're all vintage and one of a kind.  Everybody was wearing them at Cstone!  I love vintage wear!
