More thoughts/advice from folks on the GA experience (now with no inner circle/ellipse/etc.)??  I'm surprised there isn't a big thread on this subject---normally folks have lots of opinions, experiences, etc.!  And speaking of which--where's the usual "master thread" from Joe Ahorro on this subject??  Joe, inquiring minds want to know...

not sure if he posted it on here this time around, but its available on his website : http://onlineonthehorizon.com/ga-guide/

Bigwave, I honestly don't get it.  Yeah, OK, you and others may sometimes want to film the band, but how can you justify blocking others' view?  To do so is no small thing--it really affects the experience of the "view-blocked" party.  And just to be super-clear, I'm not talking about a brief pic here and there--I'm talking about when people do this for significantly longer.

If you read back I never say anything about blocking anyone else view.. or condoning it. I always try to be aware of others around me, even if they may be too into the swing of things to notice anyone else around them... I even been known to mosh.. quite recently in fact at The Alarm. My back didn't like it next morning, but it was mint.

What I was trying to get across is that I, and others sometimes want to share the moment with others, scoping, photo whatever. It don't always work out, but the desire is from a good place, not with the intention of ruining it for anyone else. The opposite.

Offer still stands.  Beers once inside (or cash equivalent) and my eternal gratitude if someone in line let's me enter with them.  

They didn't bother to set up a RZ line to the Plaza so we are getting screwed.  

I can show you my RZ ticket and TX ID to prove I'm not a first 600 line cutter.

how do you mean screwed? You should have been given details of Red Zone meet up area by the RZ rep, details on all your emails etc. Did you not receive anything like that?

Exactly my point.  Which is why I am hopeful the band bans the practice.

You seem to not care how recording the show affects those around you or the band.  That's why we can't have nice things.

Nice things?

The bolded is the problem.  It's not about what YOU want and it's not YOUR moment.

It's everyone's moment.  Yours, mine and most importantly, the bands moment.  Lot's of what you wanted, not so much what other's around you or what the band wants.

Try to steal it from me.

nice smilies mr max :0 must dig out this t shirt, my fav
