| ____________________________________________ [Jul 4,2007 3:15am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] hahaha, those pictures are pretty awesome, especially the "we almst didnt see you in ur hole u digged for uself" one. in all seriousness, this thread is retarded. there are many points to be made, and everything has gotten waaay out of control...but then again, this is RTTP so it's pretty run-of-the-mill and i'm going to contribute because i'm bored, haha. i don't think this should be called "fuck the fire dept. fest," nor the "fuck the fire codes fest;" i think the only safe title would be "fuck great white's pyrotechnics fest." if it weren't for that incident, none of the laws would have been changed, the skybar wouldn't be forced to close, and this thread would never have happened. moreover, even if the station fire was just because of a poor decision made by some "moronic hair band," it proved that shit like that is very possible and plausible. it's just a shame that it takes such an event to get everyone to realize the potential severity of certain situations and their consequences. the only thing that anyone can do from there is take any precaution(s) to ensure the fact that if it happens again, there are alternate escape routes in many forms to optimize overall safety as much as humanly possible. i understand that you (anderson) are angry, disappointed, sad, outraged, and many other emotions because of this whole fiasco, but you know what? it would have been a lot better to just vent about it without making any brash decisions and then move on. great white didn't vent about not being able to use their pyrotechnics, and instead took action based on poor decision making because they were probably in as much of a huff as you are. look where that got everyone...not very far. i understand that this event threatens your employment, but that's life. i'm a freelance illustrator, so work is the most impossible thing to keep steady (unless by some miracle i get commissioned by huge companies and magazines). i never rely on any string of jobs to get me by. i am always making money in any way that i can. even if it came down to working at a fucking gas station to keep my head above water, i'd do it. am i going to throw a hissy fit if all the other artists are getting the work that i think i deserve? no, i'm going to study as much as possible on their styles, the current market, and the clients paying for their work to better my skill/business/livelihood. you have to realize that what you really want to do in life is going to take a shitload of effort and frustration, and this is just a bump in the road. if you can't take it like an adult and get over it, you are clearly not cut out to pursue a career in booking/promoting. consider this a blessing in disguise if you get your head out of your ass. so there are 2 options to choose from here: 1)you suck it up, apologize up and down for everything you've said because i'm sure you know deep down that it is wrong (but no one ever wants to be wrong and admit it on such a grand scale), take the heat, just roll with the punches, and push on into another horizon of your career. 2)you stay in the confines of your own bitterness and just allow people to get justifiably pissed off at you while your career as a booker/promoter withers away along with any shreds of respect people still have for you outside your group of friends, clients and business cohorts. even if you didn't intend for the title of this fest to cause as much "controversy" as you wanted or you were being sarcastic, the damage is done. |

| ___________________________ [Jul 4,2007 3:45am - Uh ""] This must be awkward for the bands already booked. I like how she hasn't booked any other bands. $10 says the headliner is some local nu-metal band. |

| ___________________________________ [Jul 4,2007 9:01am - Keithnli ""] "Runs approximately 11% of the Boston underground music scene" or 0%, whatever works |
| ______________________________ [Jul 4,2007 11:40am - rhys ""] with the whole "fuck the fire dept." thing aside, the thing that is pissing me off is how everyone keeps saying that "yeah the fire codes suck but they're there for a reason, they save lives". the station was completely coated with a highly flammable foam. if you weren't out in the first 30 seconds you were dead. i'm sure that you could set off pyro technics inside of almost any other night club (as stupid as that would be) and it wouldn't catch on fire nearly as fast as the station and there probably wouldn't be any loss of life. you might as well coat a club with napalm, torch it and then blame the sprinkler system when the place burns down. the clubs have sprinkler systems, just not the new r.i. style ones. if there were ever a fire in the skybar, i'm sure the sprinklers that they have would be fine. |

Hell if it weren't for her some of you guys wouldn't be playin shows in the area. I do agree that she chose a bad name for the fest but stop raggin on her |

I do agree that she chose a bad name for the fest but stop raggin on her With all due respect to Soul Remnants and Mortalis because they are two killer bands and they are some cool ass dudes, but I love the lack of support for this fag fest because of the so called "controversy" the name was supposed to ensue. Something tells me controversy in this form will not draw a crowd but will do the opposite. |

Unbelievable. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 5:32am - hung_to_bleed ""] I love how as the rep. for the Skybar she says "Artist Compensation". The only time we played there for her we didn't get paid dick. In fact, she and her boyfriend were peddling their services (i.e. live recordings, pictures, video) to us! I was like "WTF? do they book shows so that they can lure people into paying them to take fucking pictures and shit?" |
| _________________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 5:41am - Dwellingsickness ""] Nobody "runs" any part of the boston music scene. That is just retarded to say something like that. |

| ___________________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 7:58am - tub full of farts ""] Wow, look at that shitty line up for the fest. Tara White, anyone seen this band? The drummer looks like Miss. Piggy. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 8:17am - the_reverend ""] if I haven't said it before, I think firefighters have been standing on their high fucking horse for way too long. they need to be knocked down a couple notches. maybe then they will think again before they have gay sex at a rest area. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 9:27am - FuckIsMySignature ""] wow this whole time i thought this Anderson person was a dude. damn gender neutral names. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 9:54am - watchmaker666 ""] The whole Ms. thing was a dead giveaway |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 9:56am - the_reverend ""] not for people from p-town. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 9:58am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i dont pay attention to details |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 10:04am - RichHorror ""] Ridiculous. Everyone knows that I run the Boston music scene. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 10:17am - Sinistas ""] Just for clarity's sake, Dreaded Silence isn't playing this. That's all I'm going to say about the matter. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 10:17am - Pizza Bros ""] I say turn the Sky Bar into a pizzariea where the Hammer Bros can be the house band. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 10:24am - hungtableed ""] RichHorror said:Ridiculous. Everyone knows that I run the Boston music scene. Actually, you only run 89%. Anderson runs the other 11%. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 10:26am - paganmegan ""] the part in the ad stating " handled ALL promotion for the venue" I have to dispute. How about the bands making flyers for the shows they essentially put together THEMSELVES at the Sky Bar??? And distributed? |
| ____________________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 10:29am - tub full of farts ""] She can sure shit like a man. I was at the Sky Bar once and she went into the "ladies" room, what a fucking stink! |
