Title: Gear Bag Question...
Post by: Nick Graham on June 30, 2004, 05:43:16 PM: One thing I've noticed looking through all the section pics, it seems like there's
always gear all over the place. On top of bags, on the floor, everywhere.

How many people have and leave their rig setup in their bag during a show?

How many have to pull it out to set everything up?

Strange question I know...just a bit of curiousity.

I see folks running gear on the floor all the time and freaks me out. My bag is fairly ~~water~~beerproof, and could probably survive a w00k dive.

Post by: kindms on July 01, 2004, 01:55:25 PM: I'm the worst. I just can't get a setup I am happy with. The laptop adds to the equation. If i was just running DAT I can get everything to fit in a softsided cooler.

We always have way too much stuff, it looks like we are moving in sometimes when my buddy Kyke and I are taping together.
