Sorry, but right now I'm looking at a 6' wide by 18' deep set of plastic fence delineating the tapers section. That is absurd given Terrapin's roots. Please explain the logic behind that because as of Thusday afternoon it is obviously insufficient.

[B. Diddy]

Why are you upset that there's a taper section? Taper sections ARE Terrpin's Roots.

[shadeelady]

it sounds to me like he's upset that the taper section isn't big enough.

[B. Diddy]

Aha! He didn't express himself very well here, I think. I assumed that 'insuffiecient' was describing their logic, and he was upset at a big taper section. My bad!

My new response is: Consider that the taper section at a Phil/Bobby/Whatever show is ALWAYS insufficient for the people who want to tape, and be happy they provided a section at all.

Who needs tapers when you have streamers?

[Mutant]

Say that a taper and his rig can fit into a 3' X 3' space. The area provided can accommodate 12 tapers. That sounds ridiculously inadequate.

...consider that terrapin sold dead tapes for profit....I would think that the taper section should be shrines.

I'm wondering who tapes shows anymore, anyway.

[sarah b.]

Blanks = dead tapes? That's funny.

That might be the dumbest thing I have ever read....

[B. Diddy]

Oh, that's not even the dumbest thing he'll say today!

[TheDHJ]

Wow he must be new here.

[sarah b.]

Actually, he's been around for years. He posted pictures, a few years ago. Pics not kanged, but why claim someone else's is yours, if it isn't?

[TheDHJ]

OMG people. Sarah....after all this time can you not see when I am being facetious...especially twice in the same thread??? Come on now...

[TheDHJ]

Aren't you at Vibes?

[Deadshow Dan]

I'm wondering who tapes shows anymore, anyway.

Some do, I suppose. Mostly though the correct term would be something like recorder, as it is digitally archived to a hard drive

[B. Diddy]

Right. I can't imagine there's anyone left who are putting the music on magnetic tape at this point, though I'm sure they're out there somewhere.

[sarah b.]

I'm at vibes, fucking with you. waiting for a giant rainbow to burst through the rain.

[TheDHJ]

Go give Earl a smooch for me.

[musicfan]

Wow he must be new here.

If I missed your sarcasim in that post I apologize... I'm not a newb tho... I was registered under a different name since '05 or so.... Carry on....

Enjoy!

[Jack Straw]

LOL, I should never post from my phone, it always sounds like I'm angry. Yeah, I was bitching that the section was a little on the small side but apart from Friday it really wasn't bad at all. And unless I missed something it was the first Vibes in a while where the section didn't accidentally corral some spunions.
