Hi Kyle, Well lad the best thing out of this escapade is you didn't get stabbed, shot or beaten! In moments of this kind no matter how experienced a photographer maybe, you rarely think "take pictures" until it's nearly finished or over. It goes with human nature re-action to what wasn't really a picture taking scenario in the beginning "as in a Halloween party" and unless you were already doing happy snapping of costumed folks, your "shooting instincts are in a holding mode." All of a sudden an event starts, it's over just as quickly, probably faster than you could get pictures anyway, so don't feel bad Kyle just be thankful you didn't get the pig sticker! And for heavens sake get your act to-gether the next time, we need faster re-action response from a Leica photojournalist as we expect a visual report from you, not a written one! ;-) glad you're OK and that's the bottom line. ted
