I'll be there at Sub-T tonight...

Also, Tmidgett's story about a basement show reminded me of when Silkworm played at my friends' basement in South Bend back in 1995. Fun times!

what time does the show start?

heh heh... hey Tim! psyched to see y'all tonight! i wonder what time you go on (i have a lot of booking to do...)

re: small turnouts wearing on you, you can say that again! i thought of SKWM when i played here Monday to the 2 women behind the counter, the guy that booked the show, and a woman reading a book who left after 1.5 songs (made me think of G. COSLOY's line about SKWM not getting the recognition y'all deserved was the biggest regret of his career). luckily i haven't played many shows with SUCH disastrous turnouts as Monday, but i definitely agree that such moments make you ask yrself if it's really worth all of the effort.

ok, enough crying in my water bottle! to tonight! yes sir!!!

Show is at 9:30, with Cape May opening, then BP, then the lady with the songs and the pipes.

Haven't been to the Subterranean a thousand times, but when I have things started pretty close to go time.

What time is bottomless pit going on? I am trying to time my evening's activities.

I really want to go tonight. In my old age I have been a show camel, but the last few weeks I have been going out again, and been into it. That the tracks on the Bottomless Pit site have been in constant rotation doesn't hurt either.

Plus, a further chance to contract or spread plague (I really don't know my status) should not be missed. Like a modern Germs burn it is.

i thought the bitter tears were opening for her, for some reason.

oh, bottomless pit! duh.

yeah, i always get them mixed up, because they're so stylistically similar.

No no, I think the Bitter Tears were going to play, but then couldn't, so Bottomless Pit is now playing.

the band told me that the bloomington promoter had totally flaked on them, and that they were super bummed out to not be able to play. they got a hotel room in chicago.

they were not in bloomington.

As an outside, I feel like i'm getting two stories here. The impression I get from the aboved is that the band thought the promoter flaked, and if the promoter flakes the show isn't happening.

The other impression is that the band didn't like the job the promoter was doing and just didn't show up even though they knew there was still a show.

To me, those are two totally different scenarios. I can't tell from these posts what actually happened.
