not really much to add here, as everyone on both sides seems to get it.<P>the day of the show, we had more people calling that wanted the show to happen than did not. if we thought nobody would have gone, we would have told the band sorry, we're glad you made it here, but nobody else is going to. I'm not sure what we would have done about paying them if we decided to cancel.<P>the night before, for example, Vince Gill had already loaded in when we told them it just wasn't possible. fortunately, they had some open dates on their schedule and common sense ruled but, again, I don't know what would have happened had they sat there and demanded to be paid because they were ready to play.<P>the vast majority of people that bought tickets to Ladytron showed up, by the way.<P>but, as I'm not a big fan of people that can't tolerate have-nots, I have to sympathize with people that couldn't get here. in that regard, I'd like to offer them tickets to another show. call Julie down at the club with your story and she will take care of you.<P>I would have done this a week ago but I was having too much fun watching people take up for the club.
anyone else mad that the 930 cares more about money than
Oh Seth you spoilsport, dont blame us now that you have vindicated the whiners.<P>I expect all sorts of whines from now on.<P>Next time I think a performer isnt up to scratch or didnt play long enough I am going to piss and moan for months.
I *hate* it that I have such nice things to say about the club, and about Seth, but here goes:<P>I'm not surprised Seth is helping out folks who got screwed by the snow [nor am I surprised that he kept them waiting], because the guy actually LIKES WHAT HE's DOING! He likes putting on shows. He likes it when people have a good time. Sure, he's a tough businessman who'll screw you to a wall if he has to, but hasn't anybody else gone to a show and seen him sneak out on the little balcony, or cruise the floor, because it's a *cool show* and he got it to happen?<P>I watched him checking out the Razz and the Monkees, and I thought he was gonna cum on himself. I think I saw the same thing the first time Cheap trick played there. Or a couple of early hip hop shows.<P>As clubs go, 9:30 blows and sucks because it is big and successful. We all wanna hate the establishment, man! But, truth be told, it's a fabulously fun, exciting, safe , cheap place to see some amazing shit.<P><BR>Um, can I get a gig, man? . . .
can we all join "your" club?<P> 
for once markie is so money… i've been brown nosing the wrong people round these parts. so no more kosmo luv for eddie, thatguy, etc. and selling my soul to evilsatan was just about the biggest mistake i ever made!
Who is this Seth fellow? I though ThatGuy was the owner of the 9:30 club.
you mean you got money for your soul, kosmo? damn it! evilsatan told me it was a "family tradition" back in 1996. fucker. <P>hey eddie - what are my chances of getting my soul back?

as one of the "whiners," i would like to profusely thank you, seth. <BR>i am one of the luckless ones that had a ticket for ladytron and got totally trapped by the snow. there was absolutely no way for me to have made it in for the gig, no safe way anyway. <BR>i, and probably everyone else who wasn't able to make it to the show, am profusely grateful for what you're doing. it's nice to know that someone in the club business is concerned with all their patrons. <BR>thanks bunches.
If you feel names such as cockchowder are appropriate then that's your deal… however, as overly pc as this may sound, I realllly do not think that terms such as "retard" and "get aids" are even remotely funny. I've done volunteer work with people who are mentally retarded and have great sympathy for those that have aids, and this really bothers me. I'm sure you're not bad people and I'm not trying to start anything, but when I read get aids my jaw dropped. That's one of those things, unlike cockcough or whatever it was, that cannot or should not ever be construed as funny or appropriate in the context it was used. And poorlulu, I know retard wasn't meant in a malicious way, many people unfortunately use that term. However, I've never heard anyone else use marvin_mooney 's wish for someone get aids because it is so blatantly offensive, but whatever if you think thatâ??s funnyâ?¦ think before you write/speak.

In fact, I shouldn't even be left alone in a room with someone who is. But I have to say, telling someone to "get aids" is probably one of the more ignorant statements I've heard in a good long while. I can only hope that anyone who says that and means it is next on fate's to-do list for that very same thing. Karma is fun like that.<P>
kosmo - sell it to one of us sell it to all of us. we're borg like that.<BR>indiemily - most of us around here are a little more human than that mooney fellow. just a little. <BR>urbansprite - no way no how.
