I answered an ad on Craigslist looking for somebody to shoot bands at The Satellite, a local 200 person club. I figured I could do some gigs for fun to broaden my horizons.
After a couple of months of sporadic emails, I finally finalized a date to shoot a show. I only have to do a couple of songs and then edit for upload to The Satellites website.
The first big red flag for the gig is that I'm getting paid in Alcohol. I can drink as much as I want. Yeah . . . .
Secondly, the show starts at 11pm, right inside my comfort zone. I asked if I could shoot soundcheck to avoid the crowds and get really good sound. That turned into a no go after an initially positive reaction.
Finally, they asked if I could do the shoot without a tri-pod. Um? Err? Don't you want it to look professional?
Wish me luck.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
