we brought up the policy and tried to get it cleared, but it got us nowhere.
anyway, there was someone with a stand there, but they came in with the band, so we still got a copy of the tape.
as far as getting in at the 930, i find it much easier to find out information at the 930 than any other venue i've been to..
well.. except for a lot of times i'll get the answer of 'we won't know til 630'.. which does me no good considering i need to have been on the road well before then to even make the show on time.
