DHTH: I wondered the same thing. do they apply for getting in to the US when they hit the border? I know when coming from canada, bands get stopped all the time. but that's just them driving up to the border. you woud think if they were flying over that they would know ahead of time.

SacredCyn: that's pretty much my feelings too... this show was awesome (and so was my night). I had a great time in NYC and want to go back and shoot again at some shows there. with all the issues, this show went awesome. Vital played amazing, and I got to check out some new bands. but neither of those reasons were why I went to the show. I went for two reasons: an outdoor festival (before it got moved) and belphegor. I did have a great time, but if doesn't feel like I went to the same show as I was originally going to.
