Glasses works best, but hair styles are mostly too short to hide pickups.
Wearing a shirt or light jacket with fold-down collar (button-down might work best, or apply Velcro adhesive patch to hold fold in place) allows placing those pickups just underneath facing forward out small gap.
Suggest cutting a "button hole" underneath collar's backside to thread the pickups and mic cord from inside the shirt so everything stays out of sight. More taping tips at: www.sonicstudios.com/tips.htm (http://www.sonicstudios.com/tips.htm)

Sweet! Thanks for the info! Yep- I've pretty much got no hair, so that doesn't help me so much. Thanks to the link to the great info, as well as your post, and thanks to the 3 fellers who responded already by PM. This board is a great resource!
I'm still waiting on my Church stuff, but I took my R09 out for a spin using it's internal mics @ an Arctic Monkeys show last night. Not a great recording by any stretch, but it's a start, and I gained some valuable info that I can use when I get my gear just the same...

Good choice of kit you've made there. I reckon an CA mics> CA Pre> R09 should keep you taping happily for a long, long time!
I've only taped the one show (CA mics into an R09) but I couldn't be happier with the result.
