Guys, (and girls now that there is evidence to support their exsistence on the board)
Bad news, I just reserved my tickets at the WOW Hall, in Eugene, OR, for the Oct. 5th show, and they aren't going to allow any taping! Ball LICKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                                                       
So I'm not going to be able to video tape the show, should I sneak a recorder in, or what? I feel so hopeless

Hey man, how to do stealt video? Get the woman to bring a big bag with the recorder and then just hold the taping really low? I imagine that my venue of choice won't allow taping either, so I'll be sad forlorn.
Also, how about battery life? If you can't connect to power, will the battery last a whole show?

Here's how I handle such situations...
Step 1) Find management for the venue.
Step 2) Procede to kick management sqare in the balls.
Step 3) Tape anyway.
Step 4) Kick balls of anyone that gives you shit.
That should do it. Tape away. -Jeff

Silky, not an alltogether bad theory, but I think I might be a little more productive tape-wise if I went into stealth mode, as Arthen suggested. Even if I got a little on tape....
Anyway, what if someone had given authority of tape to a woman somewhere along the way. Be really hard to kick her square in the balls....

You should know better... there are no women in positions of power like that--err--I mean... Yay women. Ok, maybe the whole ball kicking thing isn't the best approach. Beat the system however ya can though :) All hail the weaker sex  -J

heres what i would do, and i suggest you try it. It *cant* hurt if youre respectful and do *not* push the issue....
I would call up and ask to speak to the head manegment person. I would procede to tell them that due to tour restraints, the band and its manegment arent going to be able to record the show using their equipment. Then tell them that for archival reasons you wish to tape the show, and state how you wish to tape it (professional dat or video or casette or whatever).
I would do this after i talked to fluffy asking if i could use his name as a referance. I wouldnt use it without talking to him first, and i would ask him if i could say that i was part of the "crew" so to speak to work with this.
I call houses to tell parents that their kids arent in school. I have to sound like a fucking telemarketer / stewardess, so passing of as a psuedo professional wouldnt be that hard for me. I wish i couldhelp directly....

I was planning on going to that show... Did you tell them that Tim does allow taping? (I'm guessing so..but I just wanna be sure)

Hey maybe if you called and enough people going to the show called it might make them change, but I can only pray and hope so! Or two people could just call the place using different names each time claiming they want to tape, either way....
And on the ball kicking method, I want to be a little more discrete than that.
But thanks anyway, now I'll go cry. Again.

Just a taping note...unrelated, in fact, to Tim. I was planning to tape Leo Kottke in House of Blues New Orleans, and they require a SIGNED document from management saying that the performer doesn't mind the taping going on. So that is something you might think about if you want to tape Tim. Everyone knows Tim doesn't mind, but sometimes the asshole venues require odd things (signed management statements) to allow it.
That's just a note so you guys can be sure to get a signed statement from the management so that you can tape. Hope you have better luck than I did.
And maybe Fluffy can reassure us that we can get something from Tim's management that will allow us to tape his shows? please fluffy?

If only something would work out to get management of these places to let us tape!

I'm going to try to get my guitar signed too! What kind of pen would it have to be to stick on an acoustic?
