Yeah Henry, this surely not OT, quite fitting the discussed issue scope. I'm certainly aware about that, have certain experience and familiar with this issues. I've tried to get myself in to many of more or less serious gigs and once approaching the instances in about 60% was refused. The events I did were the only I was allowed. For one of teh recent gigs of famous Russian rock band visiting our country, I also made and endeavor to get an access - direct conatct to the promoters wasn't successful, so I approached coutless other possible instances (newspapers, advertising companies somehow related to show business, internet media that may have interest in such stuff) - finally I came across a big internet news and info portal dedicated for Russian speaker in our country (and besides) that turned to be interested in such stuff, but this turned to be quite frustrating since they already sent the photographer on their own. Well, never mind, knocking in the doors will some day pay for it. Alex __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
