[QUOTE="anonymous:357136"]Oh hey guys. This is Ben. So, I just got this link of the honeypump board. I don't feel a need to go into great detail as people already have their preformed views on me / honeypump and so forth, but I will save a few quick things I work on events I enjoy. In Boston and the music scene in general, it seems hard to believe that someone is just 'doing it for fun', but I really am. When I first began booking shows at Mass Art, it was to raise money for art shows at the ICA. I really had no intention of getting this involved with music. As time went on however, it became more and more important and here I am today, still doing what I enjoy and being thankful for it. At the end of the day, people need to realize that dude to Boston's size and transient population, EVERYONE has the potential to do shows, events, and programs that they find rewarding and positive. We have the exact right number of venues to be both cooperative and competative, which breeds the best results. Am I the best promo dude ever? Doubtful. Do I book the 'best' shows? Objective. All I can really say is that I'm doing what I enjoy and people maybe could spend less time being worried about the 'say' I have in things, and more time understanding that at the end of the day my 'say' is bullshit. My 2 cents are the same as anyones. With regards to O'Briens - Martin, the booking dude, ASKED me to find new bands and so forth to suggest to him because as someone not super into email, he knows he can't hear everyone's opinions. You want a show there, call Martin or the bar. You want a show there that is somehow suggest via me, fine - email me. It's 100% up to you. I dunno..some people dislike me because I refuse to work with people who use words like 'nigger' and 'faggot', and if thats an issue all I can say is, it's 2005 and I have no time or energy to deal with those who are unwilling to work together in a positive way. The music I like, whatever - It's what I like. Kill Rock Stars is prolly the lamest label ever to some people here, so go out and book what you love, do what you love, and everyone together will make Boston awesome. Boston rules. [/QUOTE]
