Freak By Night Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 It was me. I had to hammer on an old man in a lawnchair who threw ice cubes at me. The cops hauled me off but I wasn't charged. I'm sure the video will be on youtube later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 OK... I got an e-mail from one of my friends who saw what happenned on Wednesday night... not much in the way of details but here it is:"At Steve Miller, a fat guy got a little too belligerent over lawn chairs, 20 minutes later the cops showed up.Heard later that they cut his week wristband off & kicked him out.Best part --- everyone stood for the entire show."I'm going to press him for more info - not sure if the "fat guy" was a stander or sitter, but I'm guessing a sitter.

SmoothedShredder Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Anyone see the huge open area in front of the "new and improved" VIP section at the River stage... 200 people could fit in there easy... but it was unaccesible.I talked to a Mr. "Michael" who looked really important with his bluesfest shirt and walkie talkie, during the first set of the night. He said he would look into it... but nothing was done.There was about 10 people really having fun in this section...I decided to leave the venue to get a better view and watch by the river. Is it just me or isn't that really retarded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 it's not just you. it's total horseshit. during los lobos there was a huuuuuge bubble of free space that nobody could get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 From what I saw, it looked like it was accessible via the fenced-off centre walkway from the sound tent to the stage. It's a shame, because that was a great space to chill out to while quieter stuff was going, as well as a great space to get up front (admittedly right up against the left-side PA stack; I was there for Femi Kuti, and opted to put in earplugs) and dance.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothedShredder Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 OK...I'm not ready to actualize this idea, but it came up last night, and Voodoo lady laughed, so I'll share...We go with big banners... really wide, but not too tall... that say :" If we can't dance, you can't see " Tie em together with hockey sticks and off we go!It could be worth a laugh and a punch!
