I think the solution is for everyone to promote. Not just the bands but everyone. If you plan on going to the show you should also do your part in promoting it. I brought my friend along this time around and maybe next I'll have three. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:45pm - sacreligion ""] that's also a good point. obviously yeti and i would be attending but we came with someone who typically wouldn't go to that. i suppose it doesn't hurt that our entire group of friends is pretty much fims' group of friends as well. |

Its not the venue that makes the silly slam its the fans and the bands. We could host this shit in my basement and it would be just as ridiculously silly and great as it would be anywhere else. |

| __________________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:51pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] keep in mind we got away with alot of shit that many promoters would not have allowed. Case in point - smashing a keyboards everywhere. Thanks again to everyone who helped clean that up btw. |

And if bands don't bring people: 1.they get paid less 2.they won't get to play again that way "half-ass" bands can't "whore" themselves out and nor promote. I've heard people try this in Albany, it usually ends up with the promoter back pedaling so that any bands will do shows with him again, truth is almost no one (at least here) will go to a show without there being at least 2 or 3 bands they want to see, like me for instance, as far as I'm concerned there wasn't a band that played that I didn't want to see, and I'm sure that many other people there were in the same boat but as has already been said, money shouldn't be an issue, I think the major argument is length of the show and people getting bored, but with all of the ludicrousness of the last one I don't think that was an issue to most people, but I could definitely see where at certain shows it could be I think the show was awesome, I think the venue was awesome (how many venues would put up with the utter decimation of computer accessories?), more shows should happen there, as many bands as are necessary should play, more shenanigans are always appreciated I say naked pudding wrestling and an eazy cheeze eat off, DO IT YOU WONT |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:52pm - sacreligion ""] 1) more horrifying condiments 2) pie-eating contests 3) live band metal karaoke |

BSV was saying that bands could "whore themselves" and not promote. Just trying to give a suggestion to avoid that. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:55pm - BSV ""] there were probably as many paying people there as a sold out o'briens and with 8 bands that's a really poor. that's why 8 band shows suck, half the time bands don't bother telling anyone to go cause they're wicked long drawn out shows that start way too early. get someone who knows what they're doing to book there. call me a hissy all day, you asked for my opinion. no need to be a fucking dick. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:55pm - ouchdrummer ""] how about 8 consecutive HORRIFYING sets? The kids LOVE the CONDIMENTS! |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:56pm - boblovesmusic ""] ouchdrummer said:wow, someone needs a nap. That would be me too... |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:56pm - sacreligion ""] the beauty of this place is that the first band can go on at 7, which means you could at least fit 6 bands EASILY. if people don't want to stick around then maybe it's the bands that suck the penii |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:57pm - ouchdrummer ""] I am sincerely sorry you feel that way. Next time you disagree with something i say i will make a point not to explain/offer further suggestions because i don't want to offend you. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:58pm - BSV ""] ouchdrummer said: Not necessary, if you just hit the "ignore" function for BSV then you'll edit out all the whining. grow up kid. stop starting shit. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:58pm - dreadkill ""] shows starting before 8 or 9 is rough. i assume most people don't want to or just don't have the time to get to venues for shows earlier than 8. at least on a saturday it is kinda do-able. if a show started that early on a weeknight it would be gays. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 1:58pm - ouchdrummer ""] will do. |

Tom actually planned to do it that way but it kinda got fucked up this time. Next time it'll happen that way |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 2:00pm - sacreligion ""] yeah tom that show sucked. all the bands were awful and none of the 10 people that showed up had a good time. |

Yea fridays/saturdays are usually easier with times. 6/7 bands 7-1am 45-50 minute sets a piece am i doing it right? |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 2:10pm - sacreligion ""] no offense, dude, but it really just seems like you heard a worcester show did well and you're trying to butt in and make a monopoly out of it. actually that's exactly what it sounds like. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 2,2009 2:15pm - sacreligion ""] Shit. Last metal show I played was with two bands that ended up equalling 2+ hours of music. I must REALLY suck. |
