Hahahahahaha!!! That's funny. The sound guy was the biggest dick-head I have encountered in my entire life. After telling me I was not allowed to record he told me he'd let me if I had a XLR hookup. I dug through my bag of stuff and get and XLR hookup figured out. Turns out it was the wrong gender. So, I went back into my bag and tried again. Turns out there was no way for me to get a female XLR down to a 1/8" jack. I found the sound guy, told him I couldn't find a way to do it and asked if there was any other possibily. His response was:
"I'm going to say this again really slowly this time since you're obviously so fuckin' stupid that you didn't understand the first time: THE BOARD ONLY HAS XLR OUTPUTS!!"
I honestly can't believe someone would talk to someone else that way. It really put me off for a lot of the night. In retrospect, instead of walking away before he finished, I wish I had said, "wow, do you really need a hug?"
Anyway, no recording from me. I thought I saw a microphone in the middle of the room but I wasn't in the mood to think about recording anymore so I didn't approach to check it out.
