How family friendly are these events… my wife and newborn (3 mos) would like to accompany me to these shows… I can't be confined to a place that exposes the jungen to 200 decibels… Is there a place to walk around etc.

actually fort reno was pretty cool………it's the first time i've gone to a show there and i really enjoyed it……….might bring a blanket and some bug spray next time though…………….
i have seen so many neighborhood families there together.. if you need a break from the noise you can just take a stroll on the nice grassy hill.. it's so nice when the weather is like it was last night - sunny and warm. blankets are always a plus, especially when you have a wean with you, and bug spray is a big plus.
Myuman, you should definitely go. I went last night, and there were so many babies (including 2 in my group of friends). A really nice crowd and feeling of community. It is very family friendly. I agree with Poorlulu + Paige about the blanket and bug spray, though.
You can't put bug spray on the little'uns, and the mosquitoes are deadly now with all the rain….one of those net thingies over the stroller would be the way to go if anyone is taking a sprog.
Actually the doc said you can put it on their clothes but not the skin…and I don't care about them biting the clothes!!!!

Neither I nor Poorlulu got bitten there last night, but then we were sitting next to more tender meat….

You did indeed, we took Kathleen and her friend…and she ended up getting her ARM autographed in PERMANENT MARKER by some skateboader called Buckey or Chuckey or something like that. That's what happens when you leave them to wander round on their own. Bloody kids! ;)

bucky lasek?…he's damn good.

I'm incredibly envious. I think I am in love with Bucky. ;) Too bad he couldn't skate because of his sprained ankle.
It was an awesome demo on Sunday. Tony Hawk is incredible and Lincoln may be my new favorite. It was also very cool when 3 skaters went at once.

I have a bunch of B&W pictures I took of these awesome toddlers dancing at Fugazi at Fort Reno last summer. Theres nothing intimidating about Ft. Reno shows, cept for those damn vegans, but if you tell them the right lies theyll give you water. but try scoring with a beautiful vegan by befrieinding her sister, and youll never have a chance.
what is the deal with people telling you to sit?
stand up, stand up and shout!
