Calling Tapers

@lubage What up Lubage!

@damian I taped the Philly show and I'm debating the State College show if I can swing it. Separately, Rob Munroe and I were chatting after philly. I can help spread the word and get more folks out to shows. I know tapers all over the country, just need to make the time to communicate out a bit.

@zman What up zman! Looks like some of the regular tapers are making their way to Spaff. Not a surprise. We need some southern representation.
Ugh, can I get this 120 second rule lifted, lol
-
@Focker You've got 3 upvotes. That should clear you of the rule.
-
@damian Awesome thanks! My time here will likely be in short bursts, want to make the most of it!

@damian said in Calling Tapers:
here on the forums, and in the tapers section at that, will give as an easy means for communication, coordination, and the like. I'd love to build a component of the site that allows users to say they're going to tape the show. I'd imagine it would function similarly to the way you can say "I'm Going." Same idea, just a button that says "I'm Taping."
If someone wants to request a taper spot at a show. We have one available and I keep that information in a google sheet that I keep updated. For them to request the spot I need them to email me at spafford.archivist@gmail.com. That way the information can be passed on and they get informed if they are on the list. As I stated there is only one list spot available so I remove items that already have someone as the taper on the guest list for that show so I no longer get the requests for the spot on the list. This does not stop others from taping just from getting on the list. If there is a way I can manage a list here I can keep it up to date with taper sort available or not.
As for adding an I'm taping I like it. Good way for tapers to know other tapers going as well but that does not help with the guest spot.Grout

@archive-it absolutely makes sense.
-
@archive-it
Anyway you can provide an edit button to posts? That way I can keep the list updated as a thread. -
@archive-it head into the tapers section. This post was in the public part of the site to connect with tapers. In the tapers section I can make sure you have more control over posts.
-
@zman in the future to request a spot you need to send an email to spafford.archivist@gmail.com so I can get the request processed.

Houston, checking in. I'm down to cover November 3rd.

Los Angeles/Orangy County Area checking in.
I am planning on recording the Los Angeles Teragram Ballroom show. However, I also let Brian know in a detailed email that this venue is not taper friendly at all. I am working with the manager of Shaky Feelin' (Keith) who is also promoting the show under SpinCycle Presents to get me the OK to clamp mics up in the balcony which is also a roped off area.
New Years run to record is now/still up in the air. I do need a place to stay. Funds are extremley low. Any other tapers going that may want to split hotel room costs?

Welcome guys! I'm really excited to have you here

@Joe-Logrippo I also recorded Spafford and Brothers Gow on 8/1/2014 OC Tavern (i think the date was). I just remembered I never finished this show and need to find the files. I clamped on the ceiling just behind the light bar. Love this venue. Richard the sound guy is super friendly. Usually a board feed is either 1/4 or RCA and its just what is being fed out the PA.
Spafford also dedicated Encore: America to me

@Joe-Logrippo here's the show you mention. No current recording so it would be a huge win if you can get that together.

Will post in a bit!
