how strict are they about digicams/weed/cigarettes?
website says no digicams and no open cigarette boxes, but you never know...

Just be prepared to be horribly disappointed with the production unless the organizers who throw TAO actually give the production a decent budget.
But then again, look at it from their side. If people are gonna come no matter what and they keep coming, why not make the move just to save the money you could spend on making a better production and pocket it, lol.
Sucks from our side, but nothing but a good thing from theirs lol.

I've never had issues with Digital Cameras at TAO, MM, etc (parties run by the organizers), but yeah...if you have an open box of cigs when you are searched, they make you throw it away. It totally skipped my mind and while waiting in line that I wasn't even sure was the right one at MM last year and since the line wasn't moving, I opened my pack up and lit one up...just for me to decide to do a little looking around to see if I was in the wrong line and it turned out I was...guestlist booth had ZERO people at it and got my tickets and we were able to walk right in within a minute of me lighting up my cig and then ended up being forced to throw my oh so good taste menthol djarums away. Talk about a bummer moment lol. I need my cigs with my alcohol damnit! lol
So yeah, don't open your pack!

Thanks for the replies!
There are definitely enough parties going on in LA. Now it is just about deciding which one to hit. I have to decide between Together As One and Giant Maximum.
Any thoughts on the venue, scene, etc from anyone who has been to TaO or Giant in past years?
