http://knittingfactory.com/calendar/event_descrip.cfm?event_num=55856&room=1&location=1 i know this has been brought up before a couple million times, but i'm pissed. i was all stoked that the glitch show at knitting factory had five acts and i was interested in seeing two of the first three (hearts of darknesses and datach'i) and figured out of five acts i could get out early. turns out the show runs until 4am... maybe i'm old, and maybe i come from a "rock n' roll man!" background, but this seems like a tradition of techno/rave, and shouldn't be assumed for newer electronic music (this is not dance music, so why are there club hours?!?!?). i in no way am flaming the promoters of this event, i'm very glad they put it together, just as a general statement... i go to a lot of electronic shows alone as not to risk convincing a friend to go and them not liking it. and personally, i love going to big line-up shows that start at 8:00 pm. you get to watch the first couple acts with a cup of coffee, move to beer, good times. grumble-grumble _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar ? get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
