okay, that clarifies.Time + Money = Concert Promotionsacrifice? that sounds pretty dramatic.
what do you mean?
It's certainly not dramatic when a good portion of every single day is involved with putting on these shows. And, the financial burden of paying for them when the attendance isn't met.
I wasn't trying to disrespect what you do. I KNOW that it's tough work.
I didn't like you using the word "sacrifice", that word just struck me as extreme, and funny. "financial burden" is understandable when talking about time + money = promotion.
I think the point that lit up has is that when people flat out don't answer an email, it's irritating. At my job, I answer anywhere from 100-200 emails a day. All people with questions that only I know the answer too, apparently. If I have time to do this at work, why can't people who do music promotion/booking just return emails so that they know that they are being aknowledged, at the very least.
I would take one word answers from a promoter. If I tried to book and the person gave me a reply like "no", or "I don't have anything for your band right now" that's all it would take. Those lines take about 3 seconds or so for anyone above neanderthal typing skillz. I don't see how people can be so self important to not answer emails. It's EASY.
That being said, No one is trying to disrespect what you do, sceneisdead. In fact all of us enjoy the shows you put on. Who even says that we're talking about you? I'm not. you're one of the gang in my book!
does this thing have spell check?
