This one came as a bit of a surprise to me; a last-minute notification that Janelle Monae and her Wondaland artists would be making an appearance for a meet-and-greet at Centennial Olympic Park on Monday, August 31st. Naturally, I HAD to make my way down there.

The group graciously posed for pics with their fans, sat for several interviews, then made their way back to their hotel to most likely rest up for that evening's festivities at The Tabernacle. What followed that evening can only be described as PHENOMENAL. A truly diverse group of artists expressing themselves in their OWN way. The evening ended with what has truly become an anthem - "Hell You Talmbout". I count myself lucky to have been there for the experience, and to have been allowed to capture it all.
