Of the group of people I'm dragging with me to the show, none of them are BM fans. I need to ensure there will be plenty of other melons that will be rockin'-out up front with me. I am anticipating many looks of horror and pitty from my friends/family when they witness my love for live melon. Jumping and flailing wildly during Soak the Sin, screaming "[2x]444444444444444444444!!!!!", pulling out my kazoo to play along during Skinned. I'm a mutant to these non-believers. I miss my melonfriends.

After much debating, I am making the 3 hour drive to the show. I am also going to film and record the show and would appreciate some help from others who are attending (taping spot, protecting gear etc.).
Let me know if you can help me out and I can make a nice DVD for everyone.

JCrabb (another TTDer) will also be there taping the show. He said the guys at the venue are pricks when it comes to tapers. If they tell you no....insist that they check with the band or the band's management. Insist on talking to the club manager if you have to. Don't let 'em turn you away without trying. BM is the most taper friendly band EVER so if they give you some bullsh*t at the door, hold your ground.

Can you have JCrabb contact me? I'd like to get organized before the show to prevent any hassles from the venue.

Doesn't look good. Just got this reply:
"No professional photo without a pass. No audio or video recording. Disposable/still cameras/digital are all acceptable."
"This is exactly what the band sent and their wording to the venue"

"This is exactly what the band sent and their wording to the venue" This is hard to believe. I suggest you to try and catch one of the band members before the show. Before the Norva show, we were talking to CT in front of the venue and when one of the venue staff saw I have a proffessional camera, he said I can't go inside with that. CT heard that and asked the guy if I can go inside if I have a photo pass, then told the tour manager to give me a photo pass and it was all solved. I was lucky CT was just there, it was so nice of him to do this without me even asking, he's the kindest guy ever! I hope it works out for you too!

I found it hard to believe as well, but the email reply I got today came directly from the owner of the venue.
I'm afraid it is another case of word not being properly conveyed to venues so it ends up being a big mess before the show starts. For once I would like to go to a show where a band's taping policy is properly conveyed to the venue staff BEFORE show day.

What about trying to contact the band through Myspace and let them know about your problems with the venue?

Ok, just messaged them. I'm not used to getting a response from band's via myspace but I can see them helping me out on this.

They're awesome like that. Not sure what else to tell you, but if you don't hear back from them, just get there really early and try to catch someone from the band outside and explain the issue.

Yup, just find the tour bus, its pretty easy to spot, and hang out until someone shows up. It has never failed for me anyway.
