I'm taking the liberty of cross-posting this here, since it's relevant to some recent threads. I just entered it as a response to a thread on "another network" on this topic ...
This weekend, KIWR-FM ("The River" http://www.897theriver.com/), which is a local college radio station is sponsoring an outdoor 10-hour rock fest, River Riot 06.
Yes, they have been plugging it all week, and occasionally they will go over the "rules" as to what you can and can't bring.
The web site and the announcements say that "disposable cameras are fine" and today they were discussing this in a bit more depth on the air. They said that the final decision was that, and this is quite confusing, that "digital cameras of any kind" are forbidden, and then they added that cell phones, even those with cameras in them, are ok to bring and use.
I noticed that they never mentioned the word "film" on their web site or on the air. "Digital" (verboten), "disposable" (ok), and "cell phone" (again, ok) were the only adjectives used to describe cameras.
I do see their intent. They want to compromise somewhat and let "happy snappers" do their thing, but stop any unwanted commercial photography. I'm somewhat surprised that they left out non-disposable film cameras totally.
If I were going (I am not, it's forecast to be 101f in the shade - when you can find shade) but if I were I would probably phone in and ask about this, and comment that they are forgetting about a significant class of cameras that are still out there.
