one more side rant: i hate point and shoot cameras more than anything right now.. ironically, the only use i find for them is taking videos. none of my pictures turned out usable, except for the ones where i consciously kept my hand still for 3+ seconds. i heart my sony a700 dslr.
other annoyances with today's show: that whole 18 rule, they never checked IDs for age. that was my biggest dilemma and i freaked out when none of my 18+ friends could make it it. i luckily dragged my mom to LA at literally the last second (left my house at 7, somehow got there in an hour) but i could have just as easily brought an actual friend.
the rules said no cameras, so naturally i "snuck" in a little point and shoot. nobody cared. hell, nobody cared about the guys i saw with SLRs. i could have brought mine and shot QUALITY photos.
haha the end. a free show is a free show. despite my annoyances with rules, the crowd, and other crap, i'm still overall glad i got to see lp play together for the first time. all of today's problems just make me look forward to a REAL lp concert.
