Title: Nevermind: Tickets to Jem at Crocodile Cafe (Seattle)
Post by: JasonGreen on July 02, 2004, 10:09:54 AM
I didn't think she'd sell out, but she did.  Anyone else going?  Taping?

nevermind on the tickets.  She's not taper-friendly and the kids on her board think that any taping is a bootleg.  Gotta love ignorant kids.

those UK kids on her message board (I just asked about a taping policy) and they starting going on and on about bootlegging and shit.  I really hate the ignorance surrounding taping.  I said, she'll get taped either way.  They said that if I was a "true" fan I would respect ATOs decision and not tape.  I asked if Dave Matthews himself was going to ask the tapers at the Gorge to lower their stands when she opens for him.  I'm not even going to waste my time on little UK kids (no offense if you're from there) that'll just mp3 out the recording anyway.

Reminds me of radiohead fans.

Yeah, someone else asked on her board if she had a taping policy and some dude named "Sam" replied that no taping wasn't currently allowed.   He replies to a lot of the stuff on that board so I assume possibly a manager or something.   I was interested in checking out her headlining gig as well here in Portland but oh well, I am just going to wait till the Gorge opening for DMB 3X to tape her ;)

Alex,

I got popped last nite trying to tape her.  They were checking purses at the door (rare for the Croc).  I got popped in the bathroom stall trying to wire it all up.  They said okay at first...let me finish what I was doing.  When I came out, they told me the her management wasn't down with it and to put it away...which I did. She was amazing.  A very luminous personality and amazing voice....I have to say that she was too low in the mix.   If you torrent the show, DO NOT post it on her website.  Post it here instead!

Andy-

What were you trying to run?  Didn't you go into a stall?
Title: Re: Nevermind: Tickets to Jem at Crocodile Cafe (Seattle)
Post by: JasonGreen on July 08, 2004, 11:25:50 PM
nevermind, I just read you went into a stall.  Damn that sucks.  My girlfriend and I watched the whole thing.

Alex, that is cool. We would all be stoked if you did.  She was amazing at Seattle b/c she was honestly taken back by the sold out crowd.  I can see where you think she is polished...in fact, the critics say the same exact shit abut her.  BUT, there was this girl next door innocence that really made me see her in another way.  She semed out of place physically but when she sang she was completely captivating.  The tunes were catchy and full of hooks.  I like that techno angle on some of her tracks (it is where she really reminds me of Beth Orton).  I think she is gona be huge like Dido.  Whatever, it is all pretty candy-ass, I know.....I can be a total sucker for that stuff.

Jason, I didn't run...they were completely civil about it.  They said, 'go to your car and put it away and you can come back as long as you lose the gear'.  I think they were looking for people using the stall for other reasons.  I have seen them do that.  That is why they told initially it was okay after seeing I didn't have a hypodermic needle in my hand.  I think afterwards did it dawn on them what I was doing....waited for me to come out and got me.  The security there has ALWAYS been cool with tapers.  Jim who runs the board is a great guy....a bit of a geek but really friendly and allows the patch out of the board when bands are okay with it.
