For any RFC members, I'll be down in Philly for Live 8. Granted it's
going to be crowded but if you see a tall galoot wearing a
banana-yellow long- sleeve shirt, with khaki cargo slacks, blue
neck-cooler and a cheap-o straw hillbilly hat toting a tall unipod
with a digicam on it and a yellow hydropack dangling about
thigh-high, holler at me.

I'd love to meet you and take pictures! How many minutes of f(r)ame
have ya got left?!?!

Are you sure you will be allowed take a camera in with you? I'm pretty sure
that in Canada you can't. Backpacks aren't allowed, chairs, cameras, even
opened drinks aren't allowed. People are allowed to bring in 1 bottle of
water that is still sealed.

Hello all! I near where the Live 8 concert will be held in Philadelphia.
The FAQ at http://www.nbc10.com/news/4664263/detail.html says that
cameras, chairs, food, and nonalcoholic beverages are allowed. Alcohol,
umbrellas, and controlled substances are not permitted, but that's not a
surprise!

Andy, I will be at Live 8 with a friend. Feel free to email me if you
want to meet up with my friend and me.

My friend and I plan to arrive at the concert around noon. The entire
reason we are going is to take photos because we figure it will be an
historic event that may never happen again in our lifetime. We figured
we would record some of festivities on digital film for posterity.

By the way, do not try to drive to the concert; traffic will be a major
nightmare in the city on Saturday. The area surrounding the Ben Franklin
Parkway will be closed off to automobile traffic. I plan to take public
transit, and you should too. If you are not familiar with the Center
City area, feel free to email me and I can give you some tips to get
around. A tip, I heard on the radio this morning is to buy your SEPTA
passes or tokens for your entire day before the concert starts. I did
this today.

Here are the Live 8 Barrie Rules. Pretty rigid. I see back packs are
allowed. I was trying from memory earlier.. not a good thing. :-) By the
looks of it, as long as the camera isn't a professional one it can come in
too, although I doubt the tripod would be allowed.

For the safety of all attending Live 8 the following items are not allowed
into Park Place:

- no umbrellas or lawn chairs
- no professional cameras, videos or audio recording devices
- no alcohol, cans or bottles or hard sided coolers
- no object that can be used as a projectile
- no re-entry once you are in the park.

Bring your sunscreen
- 1 sealed bottle of water of any size is allowed
- back packs with a change of clothes and blankets are allowed
- bank machines will be on site

I am betting that many Canadians would like to at least be allowed a chair.

Pure Kreative BS!!!!

It's a free "Dancing in the Street" concert in Philly for "1,000,000"
people. There are no security queues. The police will be there strictly
to keep the peace. You really don't want to [censored] the public at a
"world-stage" event!!!

Imho,

Geez! No cameras, video, or recording devices? How in the world can that
policy be enforced with hundreds of thousands of people attending the
concert? No lawn chairs? What? Do the officials there expect people to
sit on the ground the entire time? I guess so.

Park Place, in Canada, only holds about 35,000 people. Read about the
large "Grow-op" marijuana bust last year across the street. Bring your
own bongs?!!!

Philly is a street event on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, stanged at the
Art Museum (Rocky's victory dance ring a bell?) and adjoining streets.
Only problem is if 1,000,000 actually show up, MAYBE 200,000 will be able
to see and hear the show, even with the jumbotrons and speakers. It's a
fairly treelined area.

I hope the jumbotrons show the other world stages (obviously without
music).

All things considered, I'd rather be in London. Sorry, W.C. Fields! The
talent there more matches my musical taste, but what's a mother to do? 😉

What on earth are you fools doing throwing even *more* money at Africa?
It'll only end up in some dictator's pocket (thence to a Swiss bank account
or an arms dealer).

Anyone going to this event must have a ticket. They were offered through
ticket master and people needed to answer a trivia question correctly to get
them. There were a maximum of 4 per call I think I read. The tickets were
gone in 20 minutes. Although the concert is free.. there will be a lot of
vendors there making a good dollar. If this weather keeps up.. the water
sales alone will make any vendors day.

Parking is the least of the worries. Gridlock is going to be terrible!!!
Folks driving into Philly who don't know where they're going, etc. YIKES!
Not to mention the crush of people cramming into the three center city
rail stations to go home after the show.

It's simple math. My train into Philly has a max of 5 cars. 15 rows of 5
seats per car. That's 350 seated and maybe 200 standing travelers. 550
per train, running a normal weekend schedule (one train an hour). Of
those "1,000,000" people, if ONLY 10,000 people are going MY way, it's
still going to take days to get 'em outta town.

It's going to be dancing and mayhem in the streets of Philadelphia
tomorrow. And I'll have a few photos and sound bytes of it.

True. But it will be a big fun event for those who go.

Sue(tm)
Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

I thought about quoting a post, and, then just decided not to. The
topic says it all. So very little of the money raised in the name of
this project, has actually gotten to the people who need it. They give
it to govenments who immediately send it to their Swiss or other
European bank accounts, in their own personal name, and, not much goes
to the people it was intented for. It's really sad!!

Sad, but true. There has been a lot of money pumped in to that continent, but
things never seem to get better. The leaders and their inner circles live high
on the high on the hog. A prime example is the $35 million jet ordered by
Uganda's president while aid was being considered for his country. There
certainly seems to be no shortage of arms and ammunition for some of those
countries.

Not true. My friend, Osma Botwanily of Nigeria is trying to help. Right
now his money it tied up by the government and I'm going to help him get it
free. He recently emailed my and it is my duty to assist him. This will
have a profound effect once the money is transferred to my account.
