I noticed on their website that you are not allowed to bring any "professional" cameras (which according to them means no cameras with detachable lenses.) Lame.

Yeah it is a policy that is becoming used more and more. I agree Lame but it is really a small sacrifice I would figure as most digital cameras have plenty of magnification nowadays.

Well it would be a bummer for me because I only have one camera... and apparently it is "professional."

ya, i get my balls busted all the time with my camera. I\'m like hey i just want to take a couple pics, plus professionals make money i just take pictures to share.

looks like a lot of big names on that bill. i never understood how you could possibly make everything you want to attend without running into scheduling conflicts. there would be some tough choices for me

NO Love but Vegoose was awesome this year. Attendance was not as large as last year but each stage was packed and the lower attendance was a plus for lines.

Fri. Nite Trey was just kickin\'. Trey band is high energy rock and roll in your face jamming! Way different from last time I saw him which was rocking but not like this. Stripped down Trey band is ripping.

Sat. Praxis was amazing. MMW w/ Maceo was jumping w/ Maceo just driving them to cool areas. Had to leave a bit early to catch Yonder. YMSB kicks some major ass but I did feel the draw to hit up MMW some more but didn\'t. Kellar Incident was fun, actually alot of fun more so for me than the SCI latenite set on Sun.
Mars Volta=Studio Band no doubt. J5 was the ****!!!!
The Killers are an incredible band live. Really they are phenomenal most likely a same set every night thing but to check their energy one time is something else.
Phil and Trey Sat. nite was just well just get the show. Ghost opener? Most def. a wise choice.
The Rhythm Devils were OUTSTANDING!!! I think it may be my favorite post Jerry GD collaboration. Really.
Phil and Trey was great w/ Cactus ripping up guitar on Get Back on the Train and the stage antics of his and Trey\'s was great to see.
PANIC OMG!!! My first experience w/ Jimmy aboard and WOW oh WOW. WSP is def. my favorite band right now. I can not explain what I experienced over the web. Sorry.
As I type this we are getting ready for WSP Halloween preparty and oh **** is this gonna be fun!!!!!!!!!

The Trey/Phil setlists look unreal. Can\'t wait to hear them. I am definitely down with this new Trey band, as they have regained the top spot in the rotation of CDs I listen too. They sound more alive and more in step with each other. Glad you had fun at Vegoose. Have fun this evening too.
