[Mar 24,2004 2:23am - the_reverend ""]
I was just going to say that..
though the thumbnails aren't right
[Mar 24,2004 2:27am - JonahBloodbath ""]
yeah, what a mess
anyway, fixed..
[Mar 24,2004 2:36am - bludgeoncore ""]
Word from the streets is that the bar wasn't doing very well that night so they tried to extort Megan for another $500 or they were shutting it down. It was indeed a breach of contract and she has an excellent case.
[Mar 24,2004 2:39am - JonahBloodbath ""]
hey rev, speaking of garbled thumbnails, the program you use for uploading, did you write it yourself or is it something one can just download?
[Mar 24,2004 7:41am - succubus ""]
ok so i got in around 11 and then uploaded my photos...or so i thought..
=(
the sage continues..i have to leave for work so i guess the pivs have to wait until tonight
and cool pis Jonah! i just checked them out...
BTW were you with George and you guys asked me if i wanted popcorn from her huge bag? if so...i never realized that was you (JonahBloodBath)
the rev made some programs for thumbs..if you need specific dimensions though...you can get irfanview for free off www.download.com
it's pretty easy to use too

wow, finally a rumor that is based upon truth. The sad part is I would've paid it just so the show wouldn't have gotten shut down even though it was blatant extortion, but the owner did not even give me time to discuss it with him. As soon as I questioned him on our previous agreement he screamed "it's done!" and ran inside to shut things down.... upon chasing him through the door in attempt to fix the situation, i was stopped by a cop saying that I was no longer allowed in the club. They wouldn't even let me get my stuff out of the rooms. I tried going there with a police escourt last night but was again turned away from attaining my belongings. This thing's going to be a mess. Currently trying to find a lawyer who will take the case, as it is a relatively small one (damages between $3k-5k)..
I promise I will do everything I can to make a Fetus/BBTS show to make it up to the fans as soon as possible, and the couple locals who got screwed by the club's actions in the 2nd stage area are getting on the next fest without having to sell tickets. I'll keep everyone updated.
[Mar 24,2004 9:23am - the_reverend ""]
yeah jonah, I made my own program...
though I have a little .exe that I use to use that will resize and can be scripted if you want it. carina use to use it for her thumbnails.
[Mar 24,2004 9:42am - succubus ""]
yep but his thumbs are a lot bigger, that's why i recommended irfanview...but i use yers =)
[Mar 24,2004 9:53am - todayistheday ""]
did anyone notice that old dude who was dancing and having the time of his life during every band at the mainstage. funny as hell
[Mar 24,2004 11:31am - anonymous ""]

haha, yeah that was me. I usually bring huge bags of popcorn when my band plays out of state shows or when im going to be in a car for a while..
I'll check out irfanview, and rev, lemmie take a loot at your exe? I dont know anything about programming but I know a lot of people tailor their own programs to fit their sites. right now i'm just using a free host that uploads pictures 10 at a time, from there i have to do everything by hand..
thanks for checking out the pictures guys
[Mar 24,2004 2:37pm - Spearing Jocasta ""]
whats up, this is ryan the drummer for spearing jocasta. we had mad fun. enjoyed seeing all the bands. Held Under rocked my world. We had an unfortunate VAN vandlism/break in though, our VAN stero was stolen. Oddly enough the thieves passed by out cell phoes and pesonal bags, thank god. If anyoe hears any info about the theft, contact me at spearingjocasta@hotmail.com
other than that, we had fun, enjoyed Cannae, they ruled... the show shutting down early sucked, I wanted to kick the shit out of the fat ass bouncer who threw the kid head first into the mirrors in the foyer of the second stage....but I had a 6 hour drive home! haha. any way, it was all good fun
[Mar 24,2004 4:12pm - anonymous ""]
well, maybe its me...but, i think that the club owner would not so easily shut down the venues if he felt that he was going to bringing in any additioanl funds...especially cause headliners had yet to go on and it was a guaranteed hour or two more that he had to bring in some extra cash. something isnt adding up and i still dont think the whole story is being told.
regardless, i had a lot of fun and i want to say that my highlights were: year of confession, cannae, a-myg-dala, on broken wings and scar culture. i just dont think that i will ever be attending another fest in that area again.

When you have a room contracted until 2 am it doesn't matter what the bar sales are, I don't think you're getting the legality of what happenned here. He only made about $942 at DTS which is what set him off... funny how he thought kicking everyone out of that room early on and ending the show during the begginning of peak drinking hours would help that situation. It really irks me on how many know-it-alls and insinuations are being made by people who were not there when this all went down in front of the club.
[Mar 24,2004 7:20pm - Year of Confession ""]
We had fun, so did a lot of others.
I went home happy!
[Mar 24,2004 7:39pm - the_reverend ""]
yeah, the show ran smooth until then.
and people where drinking like freaking fishes.
I think one of the reasons that people have so many rumors is that it took a while for you to make an announcement about what happened. with damage control, the earlier the better.
[Mar 24,2004 10:49pm - georgish ""]
carina where are your pictures! i want to see them, its been 3 days. =(
[Mar 24,2004 10:51pm - the_reverend ""]
she's been too busy dreaming of anal sax with yours truly.
[Mar 24,2004 11:08pm - succubus ""]
oh aaron shut it
george i've been working lame hours all week like 13 hours a day ..your pics are actually uploaded (since last night) but i think a lot are too dark as i was telling aaron this morning and i wanted to see what i could do
but if you want to see them as is...give me a few
[Mar 24,2004 11:46pm - Terence ""]
I thought the fest was pretty good, even though Im not too into metalcore, which made up about 75% of the show. Malignancy was my highlight, hopefully when they play here again, they'll get a longer set.

year of confession is awsome check out their demo www.yearofconfession.com you guys rock
[Mar 25,2004 3:06am - JonahBloodbath ""]
seriously dude, I get no love
I like how some of carinas pictures look a lot like mine (the whole artsy blurry thing) and some of them just look totally different (really sharp)
anyway, is it just me or are the toms jay are playing up side down?
[Mar 25,2004 10:24pm - assuck ""]
Me and Johnny H. were at this fest handing out flyers outside, and we gave one to a kid who said he was "more into METAL metal. Like Killswitch Engage and Atreyu"...
We walked away.
What a waste of a flyer.
[Mar 26,2004 10:00pm - anonymous ""]
a-myg-dala was the best band i saw...but maybe they need a new singer
gross
[Mar 28,2004 2:11pm - anonymous ""]
ok well i heard quite a few rumors about why it was shut down.... show wasnt shut down cause of the VIP room shit. funny how some of the employees of the bar were in there participating in it as well. its cause the owner of the bar was a greedy fuck... but either way that show was put together horribly ...... who makes the second stage a few buildings down??? people dont wanna leave and walk down the street maybe thats why the liquor sales were down at that bar. i know me and my boys dished out alot of $$$ on booze and tipped the bartenders quite well... i know i will never be at another show like that
[Mar 28,2004 2:28pm - Terence ""]
who cares.

Thats wicked gay. Sounds like a new breed of elite metalcore people are being constructed.
