Sean, you posted from a different email address! Oh well, that's what moderators are for:

Begin forwarded message (from Sean Tonar of Noisedotcom):

I have to chastise all of you for not beeing at the Victor Wooten =0D=0AB=
and show at the Variety Playhouse last night.- Wheat

Your a good guy Wheat so I will go easy on ya.... This one made me laugh and my first thought was, "where were you when we needed you at Roguefest"? Where were 90% of the people on this list for that matter!!!!? If anything is chastize worthy this year regarding not going to shows it's THAT! All else pales in comparison. This list was created to unify this art rock community. Roguefest was a yearly event to showcase some of the best this local scene has to offer. Plus this year's bill was hugely bolstered by out of town acts (some of which were big names on the prog fest circuit). They heard about what a good local scene was had here and I think many were quite dismayed to arrive and see 90% of the people that make of this scene were no shows! I would have been too if I drove 1000 miles to arrive at a venue with maybe 40 people in it! Wouldn't you be? If not, you have no pulse! I realize we do our best to try and showcase our local bands and maybe many of you are tired of that at this point- maybe we reached a point of local oversaturation, but if there was one time this year we could have used your support it was Rogue. Not really for us though so much as the folks that came 100s of miles to play for our local "scene".
