I went to a Stones show and had my gear with me. I coiled the mike cords tightly and sandwiched the roll between my palm and my phone. I held the recorder in my other hand. When I got to the security guard who was wanding everyone as we came in, I had the items in my hands and I held my hands up in a "please wand me" pose. The guard said, "there ya go, you know just how to do it." Quick pass up and down, and I was in.
