A friend of mine (not JD) who went to the Mexico shows chickened out from taping the 2nd and 3rd night in 2004, when he spotted metal detectors (wands I think).

I know at least two of you are going to tape some or all of the shows, so bring all sorts of loose coins, keys, whatever just in case. Good luck and godspeed.

5 days away.

Sarting to get excited a bit.
I don't know if i'm more excited about real mexican food,
or the concerts, but that's besides the point...

Have a feeling we have nothing to worry about as far as getting
three hours a night with the way this years sets have been,
even the festival was 2hr-47min.

I just hope we get a set like Sydney2  :!:

Thanx pook.
There are 3 known tapers not hiding under rocks.

I just remembered some other dat taping cure fan mexican citizen
that i havent spoken to since last tour, ima send him an email
and see what he's up too these days.

I'm sure between the 3 we know of and the 30 we don't know of,
there will be some good audio and video to come.

Personally, ill upload my tapes if i come back with anything good,
this is such a nice thing that has happened on dime,
and the prayer board has just pushed me to the better spirited side
of the 'should i' or 'i will' debate.

Only problem is trying to run omnis from my seats.
First night i will get horrible sound.
Second night MAYBE good quality.
Third night is going to be hit or miss depending on stack setup.

Unless it's like MSG and youre free to wander.. we'll see what happens.

Good luck to everyone else rolling this coming weekend.
Cheers!

SWEET!  :rocker :smth023

If good quality Mexico masters are upped on dime consider that the metaphorical arm twisting I needed to up my Interpol master(s).  Plural being if I end up going to Portland.  Seattle is a go.

I also sent that 3rd taper an email this weekend to see if he knew of anyone else that is taping.  I'll post if he gets back to me.

While authentic Mexican food is very good, you shouldn't forget about cheap alcohol and readily available "prescription" medication  :lol:

Yeah that's really all im interested in these days.
Aisde from out of the ordinary 07 cure sets like sydney2 or new sets with new songs.
Interpol is my new Cure.

That could be.  I haven't been to Mexico since 2000.  I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find anything you want.  Try asking the cab drivers  ;)

You can set it up to create an MD5 automatically after encoding is complete.  All you have to do is select create checksum file in the post encoding tasks frame.  Then select MD5 in the drop down menu.  You can also create ffp this way. 

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks Brian.  I have it on my pc, but you posting that link prompted me to add it to my laptop.  May come in handy soon.... :rocker

Does anyone know which subway stop is closest to the venue?

Nevermind.
I found this little gem for those of you traveling down there,
who are planning on using the metro as main transportation,
and who are not familiar with the area.

I'm leaving in the morning.
Enjoy the shows.
Good luck to all who are taping or filming!
