I think there should be a John Zorn Masada song of the day so we all know who you're talking about.

 

[narlus]

That's awesome! Wish I didn't have so much going on, I'd try to go.

 

[kidwoo]

Sweet. I love seeing that guy live.

Hopefully he's got joey baron on drums. That guy's nuts.

 

[narlus]

joey baron's the best drummer i've ever seen. he's totally amazing. he'll be in both the acoustic and electric Masada lineups.

personally, i can't wait to hear/see Marc Ribot...he's a great guitarist.

got word from the promoter that the venue Zorn is playing in is a 'union' house, and i'd need to fork over $3500 for a 'buy-out' if i want to shoot photos.

what the hell?

this totally blows.

on a more upbeat note, i've about clinched a photo pass for the Radio Birdman show a week from saturday.

Excellent! Time to quit the day job (or is that the day job?).

 

[narlus]

if that was the day job, i'd need to subsist on ramen noodles indefinitely.

strictly hobby.

So what's the problem?

 

[narlus]

that i couldn't then afford real maple syrup.

There is a photographers union?

There is a photographers union?

not really sure what union they are talking about. the person who i need to find out from is on vacation. sounds strange.
