also, on the subject of white people in brazil, from what Xara tells me, white people there aren't white people here. Xara is considered white in brazil, but here everyone is well aware that he is latino. due to brazil's history, most people are a colorful combination of indigenous, african, and eur...

...and you did scroll back up to see who made the first mention of it, right?

but he was being funny, you fun hater.

I win over all of you.

goddamnit!

I bet you really did, but that's besides the point. Quoting a long post to simply say "I'm not reading this" = not cool. Don't care for the clutter much. At least just post "I'm not reading that", instead of quoting the whole thing. quoting it was absolutely necessary. because d...

What the fuck does vivisection have to do with this topic? Or were you just taking the lyrics out of context to try to make a point? If that's the case what is the fucking point, little man? Maybe you should read the thread and figure out how out your post is out of sync with the thread. Maybe you ...

Ok, just so I'm clear......we can't ask what the color of someones skin is...and we can't then verify that we heard someone tell us what skin color someone is. So would the p.c. thing to ask have been "Is he melanin challenged or melanin abundant?" YUP. THAT'S WHAT HE WAS DOING. JUST VERI...

the only episode of the george carlin show i remember is the one where he almost kills everyone because he shampoo according to the directions...or something like that.

but, yes, very sad.

i hope shrill can play. i probably won't even be able to get there until 930-ish. we'll see, i guess!

i'm sorry i missed it. i had to go with my dad to get a car to use.

because of the flood, the Iowa Board of Nursing is closed and i can't verify if i passed my LPN boards. goddamnit. i take back my comment, this flood sucks.

Ed you fucking idiot, I never said anything to you in the first place. I took a shot at Joe, and you and Thom did the jumping all over. And yes, a couple of bucks being the difference between whether you go out and see a band or not DOES have everything to do with supporting the scene. i didn't bac...

Did you miss the part where I said that wasn't completely directed at you? Cause it's there. And yes, if 12 bucks is too much for you, don't go. It's the fact that, in the case that you like the band, 12 bucks is too much for you, that proves you don't support the bands/scene. or it's the fact that...

ed, the discussion hasn't been about MP for almost the whole thread. my argument with joey has been. because i said i wouldn't pay 12 bucks for MP. then he jumped all over my shit about it, saying i wasn't supporting the scene by not going to the show. i've been trying to explain, and have pointed ...

i don't care what you guys think, this flood rules.

and on the driving sacrifice vs money sacrifice, it is all about what people will and will not do to support the scene. you will not risk getting another ticket, i will not dish out extra money for bands i don't like. it's not a bigger sacrifice, it's a matter of what matters to each individual. ag...

You have to be the dumbest fucking person alive. I am well aware that the thread was originally about Mustard Plug, stupid. However you apparently aren't aware that the argument is about people bitching about show prices as a whole, not about the price of the Mustard Plug show, that's just what bro...

that's bullshit and you know it. not going to a show because it's 12 bucks and that band isn't worth 12 bucks to a person isn't not supporting the scene. how about this: not going to shows because you live 90 miles away and don't have a license is not supporting the scene. you don't want to sacrifi...

i got my mom's cat when my mom took off for alaska a few weeks ago. he's not getting along so well with our other cat. i'm very distraught.

Anyways, I'm just glad I'm not in a situation where I have to piss and moan about $12 covers and a matter of a couple dollars doesn't dictate what I'm going to do that night. XfinanciallystableX for me, as much as i am not so financially stable, it's not a matter of 12 bucks breaking me. it's a mat...

Noones talking about Mustard Plug specifically, it's a hypothetical conversation. I agree, if you don't wanna pay the door price don't go. That in short is a lack for support of the scene. If venues were asking 20 bucks to see an "underground" band, it would be another story. There's noth...

I think the important point that has been made is that Joe, Ed, Thom and all of their friends are a bunch of whiny crybabies that care more about a few bucks than the very scene that they claim to support. since when is mustard plug a part of our scene? how would dishing out 12 bucks to see some sk...

And I'm just saying that people who aren't on tour and are working their everyday steady job shouldn't be cocksuckers about paying more than 5 bucks to get into a show if they truly want to see the band. DIY is about supporting the scene, which is based on music. If 3-5 bucks makes the difference b...

and unfortunately, if you are in music for the money, you are in it for the wrong reason, adult or not. because chances are, you will never make a single dollar doing it, you will only lose money. that is the sad truth of music. there's a difference between "in it for the money" and tryin...

you and i are now enemies. prepare for battle.

Lets say gas is 4 bucks a gallon, and an average van loaded with gear gets 12 mpg (and thats being generous). A band plays for 50 kids at 5 bucks a head. After the venue takes 100 bucks for their expenses (average), that leaves the band with 150 bucks. Say they spend 25 of that to feed themselves, ...
