Drop a log...nice....hahah

I agree with with Ben about the stereo pair approach and the uselessness of a room mic in a recording with a crowd. I usually just get more whispers, coughs, candy wrappers, and cell phones....

Based on your mic cab I'd go with the MK012s with cardoid caps in an ORTF or XY config. Do some listening tests before hand to see which sounds better...ORTF can be unfocused in some situations, XY can sound dull in some situations, but one or the other should work great.

Good luck!
