Want to sort out what I will be needing for the Kinetik festival this year in terms of camera gear.

The lineup calls for 7 bands per night (sometimes 6). 5 days worth of music.

Q – How much memory should I take with me.

A – Well, at the Combichrist show, I ended up with 21 gigs of photos for the 3 bands that played that night. That’s been a record for me for # of photos taken at a concert. So assuming 7 gigs per band (on average) and assuming 7 bands per night, I’ll need 49 gigs of memory. 3 cards of 16 gigs will give me 48 gigs of space, plus the 8 gig and the 4 gig cards I have, that means 60 gigs. More then enough.
I will buy 2 more 16 gig cards. I will buy a 32gig card instead of 2 x 16 gig cards from here.

UPDATE: Borrowing a couple of 32 gig memory cards from Ben.

Q – How much battery power will I need for the flash?

A – At a Neurodance event, where I use a lot of flash I will probably go through 2 sets of batteries in a 5 hour span, and I use the flash for nearly every shot (probably 300+ shots taken). The canon 580 manual states 100-700 shots can be taken on a set of 4 new AA batteries.
So assuming 200 shots per charge,  I’d say 3 sets should be sufficient. I will bring 4 sets (since I have them)
What I should also look at doing is making a portable battery pack (that will take say 4 packs of batteries) which would eliminate the need to change batteries throughout the night.

A- Seems the camera batteries are not holding much of a charge. Get a set of camera batteries too,

Q – What lenses to take.

A – That’s a tough question… maybe look at renting a lens (EF 135f2) for a week (it’s $75 for the week for the 135f2).
I don’t think I want to carry the large camera bag with me, and the smallest one may be too small. Will have to investigate.

Excellent site with great looking plugins for cufon.

To get the car sorted, I need to spend some time. This is what the Cavalier needs:

- New horn/fix horn

- Clean up inside of car.

- Cleanup wiring inside
— Remove old screen cables,
— Reroute cables for new screen so they’re out of sight . USB extension needed.
— Permanently attach ODBII reader.
— Update Centrafuse to version 3.5
— Install ‘xport’ GPS port multiplier for faster GPS acquisition in Destinator. Read info here on centrafuse forums.

- Hook up front speakers to the rear amp.
