Jessy, please forgive me if I get too personal, but does the strobe lighting have a negative effect on you? Both of my boss's daughters have seizures if they are near any kind of flashing light. They can't ever go to the movies.

Can hardly wait to introduce you to a Good baked potato     

maybe I'll even bring you a bag of yummy Maine new potatoes since harvest will be in full swing then  

Yes, I have reflex epilepsy so I have to wear glasses when I go to shows. I prefer not too, but I have to anyways because of camera flashes ect. I need to know tho because I need to know what glasses to bring. I have one pair that lets me see shadows if their is strobe lighting and another that I can see pretty well but its mostly for things like flash photography at concerts. I am still technically not supposed to go, so I have to choose my concerts carefully. I was just re-diagnosed last year so I haven't been able to go see Taylor a lot over the summer, actually at all! My last show was in April the day before my EEGs started! So I just want to be right before I go so I can see the show. If i cant find out I will probably just bring my stronger ones. Because I don't care I am going!!!!!

ps. I usually make my own shirts for concerts...but is people wearing all the same ones? And where can I buy it?

pps. My fave thing at the big E is the honey sticks, which are next to the potatoes

Hi Jessy!

Usually there are plenty of camera flashes going on at Taylor's shows. Every show I've been to has used a different lighting rig, save for the projection on the back curtain, and while I haven't seen any actual strobe usage there are frequently lights swinging all over the place and blinking that might count as "flashing". Not being sensitive to this myself, I'm not sure how much you can take.

We are all planning to wear our NESP t-shirts, which are not for sale yet but should be soon. Tricia just has to put the form up. Keep an eye on our Store forum for that!

Thank you mari!!!!

Jessy it may not be so bad as it's outside too so maybe not as bad because of the outside light too. But cameras will definatly be in full force that night. not as much strobe lights as just spot lights moving around.

Does anyone know what time the show is scheduled to start? I have to work at an arts festival all day and was wondering if I could still possibly make it there in time for the show.

It says that it starts at 8 pm.

Thanks for filling us in, Jessy. Hopefully I or someone else can get you some specifics regarding the lighting. It might be best just to bring your strongest glasses. I sure don't want anything to happen to you!

Oh man!  Look at how huge the Big E cream puff is!

BTW...that's not me. She's too happy.
