Technology qualms

One day I went down to Main Street with Mike Hopkins looking for some free giveaways. Nate told us to check out the Cargo Magazine place since they were giving away some cool stuff such as high quality shampoo and other essentials of that kind. Both Mike and I got into the lounge and we got to listen to some good music from some local artists (mostly the Salt Lake City area). Both Mike and I had the chance to meet some other people from the festival as well and chatted with them for a little bit. We met this one girl from whom we got a number, hoping she could get us into the Counting Crows Concert which was on Saturday night. Incidentally, Mike and I were wandering around some place and we saw the lead singer of Counting Crows. Mike quickly grabbed his camera for a picture to which the lead singer agreed. However, his camera batteries were dead and lost another chance for a picture of a celebrity. This trip and technology has not been my friend. First, being with Willie Nelson earlier in the trip with my camera phone, to my digital camera acting up before getting a picture with Jessica Biel, and now to Mike's camera running out of batteries and not getting a picture with the lead singer of Counting Crows. Technology these days?
