Panasonic HPX500 w/ Canon KJ16x7.7B-IRSD lens
Miller Arrow 1793 Tripod System (Arrow 25 head on 1505 Solo ENG Carbon Fibre sticks-for sale)
Varizoom VZ-Pro-C lens control
Sitting on a ProMax dolly (15' PVC pipe / skateboard wheels)

Looks like a photographer almost got her camera snagged by the mad man http://www.seattleweekly.com/music/blogs/reverb/2008/05/why_you_should_always_pack_a_b.php

The Mars Volta, 7:15 p.m.ish, Sasquatch! Mainstage

When I saw The Mars Volta at EndFest 2007, the band walked off the stage early, with frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala explaining that someone had thrown urine at the band. During today's set, we discovered why: he's the kind of guy who should be showered in piss. Consider the evidence:

— During the first song, he picked up the drummer's ride cymbal and stand and chucked it into the audience. (In junior high, I observed such a combo fall off a table and crack a kid's head open.)
— He later tossed an electric fan into the audience.
— He then tried to take a videographer's camera away from him, in front of the stage.
— When he couldn't get the video camera, he turned his attention to SW PHOTOGRAPHER RENEE MCMAHON and TRIED TO TAKE HER CAMERA AWAY FROM HER.

I have to wonder: What would it have taken to have the plug pulled on these clowns? I ask you, Live Nation brass, what had to be hurled into your ticket-paying audience's face to make this happen? A guitar? An amp?

Where's freshly bottled urine when you need it!?

Cedric is one of the biggest tools in the music industry. I saw Mars Volta when they opened for The Red Hot Chili Peppers. I hated their sound so much I had to leave for a little while. When I got back to my seat Cedric was in the crowd, on the opposite side of the arena, wading through the crowd and throwing people's beers. I'm shocked that he wasn't punch by some frat guy. Personally, if he had taken my beer or any drink for that matter, he would have spent the next 15 seconds rolling down the stairs.
 
Oh it has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. Just something I was filling in the guys on at the barbecue.
 
Hey Guy I know your friend Les and I'll have to show her this one its killer stuff. Hope you got you punch in on that idiot.
