I know how you feel. The other day when you popped on saying you had a show to mic that night, Harvey was there with an answer within two hours. That's someone who knows. What are the odds? A stranger with the poor judgement to turn to the internet for last minute answers lucks into a quick one from an experienced pro!
Okay, so he overlooked the no closemicing thing at first. You could have just as easily waited till after the gig to get some moron telling you to hang some computer mics from the balcony. We are indeed fortunate here.
