Just Announced Commentary - 2011 Edition

Thank you Sidehatch.  Julian and others who think that the threads (JA and Commentary) should be combined probably DONT use the JA thread for it's intended use - for people to find out about upcoming shows.  
The point of the thread is announcements.

I've found out about lots of shows thru Just Announced, the same as everyone else. This was in no way made more difficult by people discussing the shows.

If you did you would miss a lot of big shows.  Seems meaningless shows are mentioned while huge shows that people want to go to aren't posted all the time because well people think it is cooler to post the small no one heard of shows.  
YeS it IS.

four pages of discussion is too much.
I use showlistdc's site to find out about most shows, or Facebook.  But the JA thread is for announcements.
End of discussion.  Use this thread.  Quit being lazy.

Maybe we could make it so only one person could post to that thread and then if you wanted something in Just Announced you could email that person.

Its a messageboard. The point if every thread is discussions. As I've pointed out a hundred times, if you want a dry, factual recitation of show listings, ShowlistDC exists.

I will continue to post any show-related feelings I have in Just Announced. You're smart enough to discern that I probably am not slipping a show listing in a paragraph long post and can ignore it.

If you use SHowlist DC site than why do you even read just announced.  
One or two posts about a show in JA is one thing.

You guys just talked about Artscape and Cake and Sharon for pages.

Most of us dont give a shit who thinks Cake is a Broband when they are checking JA for shows they might not know about.

Because I then share those shows on JA for people who might not use her site.

Ok I just figured this is Killsally.  Why the constant changing of user names?  I find that confusing.  James Ford started the thread de-rail.  And then Seth added to it.

The ones you like?  I didn't see you posting anything about Crack the Sky playing Pier 6.

I like how you speak for MOST people in your mind.
I dont listen to Crack the Sky.
You try to speak for everyone all the time Julian.
And Atomic I plan on changing my username at least once a week.

Mabye you should.  I am sure more people care about Crack the Sky than supersoakers.

Yeah fuck Seth, he's doesn't attend 200 Baltimore house shows with azag, Killsaly and vas every year so he's not part of the mainstream community if this messageboard.
