Music Times sent reporter Ryan Book to Governors Ball June 6-8 with the intent of capturing the essence of New York City's biggest and most diverse music event, the results of which can be seen above. 

Book took a beating during the weekend, from the constant crowdsurfers landing on his head during The Strokes heavily attended set on Saturday, the blinding strobes of Axwell /\ Ingrosso on Sunday, the cruel words of Tyler, The Creator ("All your photos suck"), to the potential internal organ damage suffered from the subwoofers and sub-bass at the fore of Skrillex's stageshow. 

The least you can do is check out his photo slideshow.
