Ok so...just to give you an idea...I'm drinking smartwater..they have granola, fruit yogurt...etc....and even 4 laptops just in case people have issues cx ing to the wireless..some photog for the ny times wants a router...bcz I guess he's too good for wireless....ok I'm off to shoot

Wow..the golf carts even being us around if we want..but right now I'm walking to scope everything out



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Aug 4,2006 12:07pm
Yeah right...the ride was 5 minutes from one end to the other...



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Aug 4,2006 12:13pm
Unless stages to shoot are next to each other..the goft carts are the way to go. Avoids the crowds a lot better.
Oh if you go to lollapalooza.com there's a live steam abt to start. Show starts in like 3 minutes. If anyone looks at the schedule..feel free to suggest a band for me to shoot

Ok shot 4 bands so far..and I'm walking around..first thing I saw for people buying stuff...from lolla merch to beer and food..it's not expensive.I have pics to prove it..and in walking around...I have 40 bucks in itunes gift cards that they are giving away..a nice glossy program book (stuff anyone can get)..I went into the playstation tent..and if i would have brought it I would have gotten a greatist hits gave for free and they would have downloaded the schedule, map and artist clips and all sorts of other lolla stufff...this is really impressive...

i figured no one was replying so no one cares and have been going back and forth with aaron.anyhow this is more of a blog for me to remember stuff

they've added budweiser beer in those cool bottles to the coolers now..too bad i don't drink beer..so i'm sticking to the water



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Aug 4,2006 7:00pm
what bands have you shot?



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Aug 4,2006 7:17pm
they are folders i just made..but i don't think i can cut and paste..i'm gonna go get ready to shoot raconteurs



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Aug 4,2006 7:23pm
you can open a cmd, CD to the folder, and then do a "dir" and c+p it here

As you know..abr to shoot violent femmes and then ween. The photo pit is ridiculous at this pt. Security isn't being aggressive and I see flashes going off and after 3 songs they don't leave...security has to practically push them ... And even then they move like turtles and snap as they walk out. Doesn't matter how early you get in the pit..someone will stand right in front of you and raise their camera in the air. I did meet some awesome photogs...but there are a lot of pricks in here...I took pics to prove it...they are shooting like they are paparazzi getting a thousand bucks per pic.
End of rant

lame.. you feeling like a small fish in a big pond?



toggletoggle post by succubus  at Aug 4,2006 8:14pm
Of they also have bottles of pinot grigio francis ford coppolla white wine for us...and they brought out more budweiser beer...but the red bottles..not sure what's the difference. Anyhow..you can walk around with booze and drink...some photogs are even holding beer in one hand....anyhow..15 more minutes and violent femmes..I'm excited
