Thanks mod man...
What about recordings though???
I was at the DC show, and I even smuggled in a video camera along with the minidisc I use to bootleg most shows. Sadly, there were a ton of "NO AUDIO NO VIDEO" signs around (presumably at Century Media's request since obviously TG has no problem with bootlegs and I doubt Agalloch or The End records cares about bootlegs), and I got busted despite my attempts to hide the video camera in my jacket while recording. The staff/security guys made me give them my recording gear despite my protests that the band has no problem with bootlegs and even has trading section on their official forums. What really sucks is that I was checking the levels on my minidisc recorder when I got busted, so I didn't even get an audio-only bootleg. If I hadn't gotten greedy and gone for video they never would've seen the minidisc recorder or the mics I use since I have a pretty stealthy setup that I've used without getting caught in 300 seat venues that leave the house lights on during concerts and have ushers at the end of each row of seats. What doubly sucked was that I could've gotten a pass had I decided to go to that show sooner since I volunteer at a radio station, and the staff guys would've let me keep recording had I gotten a pass. But I didn't decide I was going to make the drive from Texas to D.C. until a couple days before the show and so I couldn't get a pass. At the time I was pretty pissed off but I was glad that they didn't kick me out of the club after having driven for 36 hours through a huge snowstorm across Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Virginia, so I still got to see the show. But alas, no recording of the full show, just about a minute's worth of the start of the show.
