Not exactly the most "taper-friendly" venue in the world... |
|
So, there's a certain small coffee house venue in my area that I won't name. I was hoping to videotape a certain artist there tonight, as I have his permission to do so. I also have permission to tape the opening act.
The coffee house actually has an audio/video taping policy on their website that states that they require "prior written permission" from the venue and the artist. No problem, I thought. I'll write them and ask. So I did, and discovered that I actually need to sign several waivers and get permission TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE. Did I mention the website only says "prior written permission"? NOTHING about waivers or two weeks advance notice.
I'm afraid they might kick me out if I actually look at the performer, as they might think I'm infringing on some sort of intellectual property rights. :)

1. Be sure you don't remember any of it, |
|
as that would be an affront to all those who worked hard to put on the show.
If you REMEMBER it, you're taking food out of their kids' mouths!!!

2. Honestly, I'm tempted to write a real letter on paper to the owner... |

If they're trying to step up and be the next big thing (replacing a recently closed landmark), they need to be a lot more friendly. I've taped at similar venues before, and nobody said a thing. I'd really love to know what happened to prompt such extreme measures.
