In response to the complaints about Oakland...I and a friend of mine ran both lines for the Oakland shows. There were no saved spots, and everyone who got on that list had a number on their hand in order of appearance.
I actually knew few people there, so the claim this person in the 80's who became number 7 b/c she knew us is false.
No saved spots in Oakland I, II or LA III. I know, b/c I ran the lines.
and that's the way it should be.
We may follow the band, but we don't "cover" each other. When those doors open, it's every man for himself. I just try to run a fair line.
It wasnt' always like this, I'm the first to admit I've had spots saved for me at other shows, I've abused the line, and it made problems so I DON'T do it anymore, it's not fair, it was wrong when I did it, and it's wrong now.
just wanted to clear that up.
