| _______________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 10:42am - goatcatalyst ""] I hate people named Matt and I would never support a fest to glorify an F-word T-word G-word J-word Matthew. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 11:11am - FuckIsMySignature ""] damn i'll try to come down after my show at the Lucky Dog. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 11:21am - blue ""] Wow, amazed to see this is actually getting 'promoted'. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 11:25am - FuckIsMySignature ""] pro.. moted? whats that? |

| ____________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 11:36am - FuckIsMySignature ""] passing out flyers doesnt really work either unless you are targetting a specific demographic like a show within the genre. online promo does work for the most part but it helps to start doing so more than a few days in advance. :/ |

| _______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 12:06pm - blue ""] The headliner (Insidious Decrepancy from TX) was never even booked. He was being advertised on the show when nothing was ever arranged. When I found out the bullshit that was going on I immediately took Dysentery off & then the show remained venueless for at least 2 months, until a couple weeks ago. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 12:16pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ooof. |

| _______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 12:26pm - blue ""] Not to mention that I kept taking ID off of the event page on FB, and 'someone' kept putting them back on in an attempt to generate an audience. I thought that was pretty low. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 12:29pm - Sacreligion ""] EVERYONE COME TO THIS AND BUY MAD BOOZE YO |
| ______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 1:50pm - blue ""] Sorry for hijacking this thread. I just want people to know the general fuckery that was going on with a certain Awkwardvegankid 'booking' this show. Kid thinks he can just throw together something, fail to let people know it exists and think it'll all go well. it'll be interesting when people starting asking him questions about the band order/pay/anything |

| ________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:07pm - KEVORD ""] If your show is ONE day loaded with bands and you call it a fest your probably a douchebag. Then you have the douche juice to name the show after yourself? SHUN THIS MAN. |

| __________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:32pm - Bloblovesmusic ""] In his defense, this is his first show so its bound to be a shitshow |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:36pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Animals should not try to act like people. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:37pm - blue ""] Not in his defense, if you're booking your first show ever don't make it a 'fest' with a headliner you can't commit to affording. And especially don't lie about the lineup. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:37pm - Bloblovesmusic ""] That said, it's a pretty terribly put together show. And other then Demoralizer, none of the bands have done shit for it. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:41pm - KEVORD ""] And don't try to make your flyer all evil looking and shit and then call it fuckin......Mattfest. Even Satan is laughing at you. |

| ___________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:45pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] ya i was so sure it was gonna be a disaster too haha. fests are pain in the ass. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:47pm - blue ""] OK, let me rephrase: don't book a show if your name is Matt Cronin. |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:47pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] that's a reasonable request. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:49pm - Alx_Casket ""] Negative publicity is still publicity. Do a HORRIBLE booking job and people will hear about it [but not necessarily go]. |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:50pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] tis a shame. these are some good bands. hopefully they get something out of it. i would check it out but i have way to much shit to do that day. perhaps i'll wander in drunk towards the end of the show to assess the situation. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:51pm - Sacreligion ""] This is Matt Clark's last show with Naegleria so I would imagine they are going to play their asses off. |
| __________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:52pm - Bloblovesmusic ""] That said, he is an idiot. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 2:54pm - ark ""] PRIMUS just added. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 3:18pm - boblovesmusic ""] haha my first show was a "fest" and I "named" it after myself (sorta). That said, I made sure to promote it well and ask the assistance of those with experience so that I wasn't making too many mistakes (but man I've made boo boos for all my shows haha) |
| ______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 3:18pm - Yeti ""] blue said:OK, let me rephrase: don't book a show if your name is Matt Cronin. that's who booked it? i am shocked and appalled it didn't go smoothly and without incident. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 17,2011 7:23pm - Arist ""] who is he? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 7:35pm - RichHorror ""] Brain Shivers isn't on this either. It'd be awesome if none of the bands were. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 7:39pm - ReturnToThePundit ""] This bill sounds like something Obama would try to push through Congress. A bunch of empty promises! Heyoooo! |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 17,2011 8:26pm - Woah!_Shut_It_Down! ""] Insidious fiasco aside, the fact that this is actually happening is a miracle in itself. Yeah it definitely could've been handled a lot better(can't stress that enough), but it's gettin' done, and by golly, he proved me wrong when I said it was all gonna end up a pipe dream. Probably won't ever happen again, but thems the breaks. |
| _____________________________ [Nov 18,2011 9:38am - ben ""] nice line up. do we realy have to name the metal fetsivals after the promoters? i hope this is a charity for a guy named matt. we already got bobfest!!!! |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 18,2011 12:31pm - Matt_Cronin ""] You guys are faggots, this show is going to be fine. If bands wouldnt drop like a bunch of assholes (blue and dysentery) this show would go a lot better... |
