State Theater - Portland, ME (8/22) (Second Show Added!)

[JHut]

Jhut - wonder if it was the same bad apples we ran into on night #1. Where were you standing on night #2? We were far left of the stage night #2 and talked at length with the security guard before the show about what happened on night #1. You should read the Show Etiquete thread where we ranted about it.

I was wondering that myself, Jackie. We were on the right side just in front of Grace. These people were MISERABLE. I didn't post a lot of what happened because it's pretty vile. This woman was groping a few of us. When we confronted her, her husband was ready to throw down. I'm just glad the security guard was there.

Having trouble posting the fan recap of the shows - keep getting error messages.

Jackie, easiest way to do it if its lengthy, is to open a blank Word doc and type it in there. Then come here and cut and paste.

I did that, thank god, or I would have lost the text when I posted. I cut and pasted from word, and I tried it in a text editor. I think its too long. This is going to be a problem for Van's recap too since he usually has some greating writing!

Jackie: I cut and paste from WORD often. Did you use "go advanced"? I just "copy" in WORD and "paste" in this box. Not sure what you mean by text editor

[JackieinCT]

I have also done that often -- text editor is your NotePad which takes all formatting out of your text, since I thought maybe that was the problem. I also tried posting Day 1 (word count 483) and it won't take it. My total word count is 1,198 (almost a page and a half). There must be a new limit.

Hopefully someone in the know will chime in with a solution. But if all else fails, you could post it here and provide a link: https://posterous.com/

No word limit. Character limit is 25,000 characters.
