Just bought it a few months ago after my Digital Rebel got stolen when I accidentally left it sitting in its bag in a mall in Costa Mesa, CA (duh). I like the S3 because it's got a great zoom and terrific video/audio recording, but it mainly looks like a stills camera. I just wish it was a little smaller, but if you want the big lens there's trade-offs. Anyways, yeah, I recall that the Bumbershoot ticket says something like "Cameras: No professional cameras with detachable lenses" and "Audio/Video Recording: No professional equipment". I didn't see that that detachable lenses policy enforced anywhere but at the entrance to the mainstage. It drives me a little crazy that the "big name" acts are so freaking unfriendly to amateur shooters, especially with the falling prices of digital SLRs. (Oh yeah, also, no pets or strollers in the stadium either, unlike the rest of Bumbershoot. Lameness, however I think most of the security staff was looking the other way on strollers to avoid angry mobs of parents with.) ANYways, as far as shooting in the JoCo show, I *was* worried about getting "busted", so I kept my camera on my lap, and used a hat to cover up the flashing "recording" light and try to hide the LCD (which I wasn't even originally using, but shooting blind sucks).

We love you! I think my highlight of PAX was introducing your music to a fellow geek and watching her grin from ear to ear throughout the show. Oh, and Skullcrusher Mountain! Live!

Seattle can't be your second home when you have Portland. By the way, if you did want to do Flickr here, the Mission has a nice big screen, they've been using it to play Firefly episodes lately.

I saw you at PAX, and though I originally went for the Minibosses, you were the treat of the night, and now I can't stop listening to your music. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the North Comedy stage on Saturday at Bumbershoot, and judging by comments above I missed out on a more relaxed and personal show! So on that note, come back soon, and thanks for the great performances! Au Revoir JoCo!

Can I bring in a camera? That is generally up to each individual artist. Our general rule is that you can take pictures as long as it is not a professional rig and that you do not use flash in the theatre. We do not know of the band’s photo policy until the night of the show." Good news about the Triple Door… from their website (www.tripledoor.com):

Much more relaxed, more personal, and there were actual CHAIRS. ;) It was great to see/hear people in the audience leaning over and whispering to each other, "What was his name again? I gotta look this guy up!", and rapidly jotting down your name. I don't know that you ever get to witness that anymore, but it's a real treat to see brand new fans being born. Darryl, don't know what you were filming with, but I contacted Bumbershoot and was given a huge "Nuh Uh" regarding recording equipment. Intiman said it was fine, as did JC, but they were unmoved. Guess it IS easier to ask for forgiveness. :) Anyway, great show Jonathan, glad we got to see Baby Got Back (we missed it at PAX). Looking forward to the Triple Door!

I, actually, bought two of your CDs. ("Where Tradition Meets Tomorrow" and "Thing-a-Week Three.") I'm a pretty new fan, but i'll try and keep supporting you as much as I can.

My friend loved the Code Monkey card game I bought for him, I just wish now I'd spent more time talking to you when I had the chance. So, is it fair to say that the concert you played at the Convention Center was the largest crowd you've ever had? I look forward to catching your show at the Triple Door soon, even if I have to find a babysitter at gunpoint. =-) I was thrilled to see you at PAX this year, and to meet you for the first time as well.
