I have never found people with cameras or camera phones to be so annoying it warranted complaint. That's just me though.

Yeah - good luck with that - trying to ban 1000 phones every night.

That's a problem.  I have a camera phone, only because most phones now have cameras.  I've never taken a picture in a club with it, and I NEED it to find my friends when i get in. I'm a text-er..."R U by FOOD window?" [/b]

I am tired of it too.  How many fuzzy pics on your camera phone does one person need?

 How about hiring an official club photographer, who will share the photos online? If necessary, charge a very small fee for access to them, then ban other cameras. Maybe too much of a pain to enforce, but I would love to have good photos of the shows I attend without the hassle of doing it myself, and without fighting for floor space with the "rock-arazzi".

that might work for the people who just want to rememeber the show. but a true artist wants a og. photograph that cant just be bought by the masses.

i realize that which is why the situation will get worse before it gets better.... at one point the club was taking away cellphone cameras upon entrance, but since it's become something people just can't live without then common sense needs to kick in...   :roll:  
 
 i remember all the complaining recently when movie theater owners were considering installing mobile phone blocking technology, how it would prevent someone on call from getting that all important phone call, etc.  thing is at one point doctors, etc would check-in, leave a pager, etc with a theater who would then go to that person's seat in case of an emergency.  now granted that isn't feasible at the 9:30 club, but people functioned without cellphones for decades, why can't people do it now for a couple hours.
 
 take a couple pictures and put it away... oh wait that makes to much sense..

i'll humour you.
 
 
   yeah, probably about half of them do. mine doesnt. and my GF wanted one so i bought her one and aside from taking like 4 pics at the White Stripes show last fall (the day after we got the thing)  i dont think either of us have used it since.

Isn't the real issue here that a dude just flat out should not be that into James Blunt??

Clearly, the answer is for the club to ban Asians.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Just a guess, but a "true artist" probably wouldn't take pictures with a camera phone.

clearily the answer is all artists are required to perform in fans houses...

I don't see what the big deal with people taking photos at concerts are... there are a million things I can think of more annoying than that.
 
 I mean, let's face it, you've gotta start from the baseline that people are annoying just by virtue of being there.
 
 On the other hand, this seems like a good opportunity to pimp my photo blog.

or to go see shows in Baltimore
 
   since everyone in Baltimore is too busy shooting heroin or contracting STDS in the bathroom to be taking pictures and even if they werent , the dirty filthy air is too thick to get a good shot anyway ;)q
