| _____________________________ [Jul 5,2007 12:18pm - pam ""] paganmegan said: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? That really bothers me too. Most of the shows booked there were booked by Rich Horror, Jon, you, Scott, etc. Anderson didn't choose the line ups, so I'm a little offended at all the credit taking going on. I'm glad she allowed the bands to set up these shows and all, but the bands did the bulk of the work and therefor the BANDS increased the turnout 11% or whatever. And if she didn't, we would have all been somewhere else doing the same thing. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 12:25pm - RichHorror ""] Once again, I deserve complete credit for everything. And not just these shows, but life in these United States in general. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 5,2007 2:34pm - Othniel77 ""] Rich, Megan, Scott, Jon - I do appreciate the shows you put together as subsidiary bookers. And I do give credit where credit is due. The flyers were phenomenal, and I appreciate when the bands promote in tandem with me. When I used the term "handled promotion for the venue", it means: a. I was NOT given a budget for ads/promo by the owner b. I had to publicize events at the venue by sending out press releases/listings to the media and posting on boards, using mailing lists, etc. You guys did well and I really appreciate ALL subsidiary bookers who approached me about setting up shows. Some great bands played at Skybar over the years. In regard to one band stating that they "didn't get paid dick", it was probably because there were less than 14 paying clients that night, and/or the band drew no one. In the confirmatory email I sent out to bands who get booked at Skybar, I CLEARLY stated our payout policy: Bar takes first $100 off the door ($70 for soundguy, $30 for doorguy); rest gets divvied up among the bands according to draw (that's why we ask patrons which bands they are there to see). Bands who do not draw, do not get paid. |

Bands who do not draw, do not get paid. Yer a fucking idiot. You say you've been around since the 80's, and you're using the same shit-dick formula and the same tired and weak self promotion as every other teen groupie whore promoter that's plagued this goddamned city since the days of the ratskella, bunratties, and that dumb cunt that booked deringers. It's a tried and true method, but regardless of what you may tell yourself, nothing you did meant shit. You booked bands. Bands draw. I can guarantee, if a single goddamned person showed up even ONCE because of an ad you placed yourself, you're lucky as hell. People go to see the bands. You were smart enough to let the bands put the bills together for you and flyer. However, you need to learn the difference between "promotion" and handling advertising, which is a tiny, tiny, TINY segment of promotion. Struggle and flail all you want, but you're about to hit the wonderful glass ceiling of new england, and realize that every chick promoter around - even the good ones - have but a tiny shelf life. Oh yeah, and fuck you. LOLZ |

What confuses me is that you end with the statement, "Fuck you". I'm going to have to reply that with the statement, "Sorry man, I wouldn't give you the time or the pleasure. I have a REAL man". Have a good day. |

I guess in these modern metal times it might be more apropriate to stab your own eyes out first, then fuck your brother, and kill your mom, or maybe stab fuck your moms eye sockets, kill yourself then realize you are your brother. **Dont forget to post it in your blog!**:HUMP: :doublehorns:See you Sunday!:doublehorns: >:]:satancross::satancross::satancross:>:] |

You're certainly entitled to your opinion, and I won't begrudge you that. Have fun with that theory, but I've had a long history with plenty of positive experiences regarding women in the music scene. Alas, as I said, the industry is pretty hard on even the best of them. Like I said, flail all you want, but the odds are against even the best - of which you're not one of. As for the fuck part, Maybe if you had a daughter. From what I understand, you're too damned close to my own age to not be riddled with saggy tits, stretch marks, and other unsightly signs of aging. I'm a fucking rock star, chica. I don't fuck girls like you. Good day, and remember: years from now I'll still be here, doing what I do, and ragging on some other chick just like yourself who thinks she's god's gift to the New England music scene. You'll be long gone by then. |

Even guys your own age would prefer someone younger than you. p.s. - learn to fucking quote p.p.s. - 30, and booking clubs at the level you're at? Better find a new career, seems you suck worse at this one than I thought. |

| __________________________________ [Mar 7,2010 12:52pm - sinistas ""] While this whole thing was a gigantic clusterfuck, the Skybar was a decent place to play. One more metal-friendly venue down the drain. |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 7,2010 1:19pm - boblovesmusic ""] in all seriousness, the Skybar was the location of the first local show I ever went to. Witch Tomb, Blessed Offal, Hekseri, Baphomets Horns. Absolutely fantastic show. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2010 1:37pm - RichHorror ""] RTTP bands are the fucking worst. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 7,2010 3:15pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] classic thread is classic |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2010 10:21pm - Othniel77 ""] The Hekseri/Blessed Offal/Witchtomb/Baphomet's Horns show fucking rocked! I miss those days...metal Sundays @ Skybar. It'd be nice if we had more venues that were open to metal. I mean, O'Briens is a great resource, but the more the merrier....not everyone has the means to travel to Worcester all the time.... |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 7,2010 10:30pm - blessed offal ""] noone ever came to the fucking skybar. also, the sound at least for our set was horrendous. i always had fun there though, mainly because the bar accepted credit cards. |
