oh my god, wait, someone complained about something they didn\'t like on a message board? What is this world coming to!!!
Obviously the band is getting something out of playing this show that they feel is going to help them, be it monetary or exposure, or both. It\'s not like they\'re never going to play anywhere in the northeast again. If you apply the stephengencs theory of every show is the best show ever, than whatever show they play after oberlin will blow it away, and most of you will probably be at that one. I miss shows I want to see all the time, such as upnorth, which is pissing me off even more now that I know joc is going as well, but that\'s life. I\'ll see the band again, I\'ll hang out with my friends some other time and if you can\'t do it that one night, c\'est la vive. Does it suck that most of us are going to miss a halloween show? absolutely. If I miss this one, it would be the 2nd ever I was not at*. Am I pissed at the thought of it? you bet it. Just like I was last year at new years when I was in ct by myself because I had to work in the morning but them the breaks. I think more exposure is what the band needs right now so if this is the plan, I hope they get it. If they go out there and only 10 people come, I hope they make a shitload of money then to justify it, but it\'s there livelihood, not mine.
*was not there in 98, but the first freakout was 99 so yea, haha. I did miss the show in providence that year although I was at the show the night before. Also, that was in november, so it doesn\'t really count.
