I have to say too that blaming your target audience for the logistical collapse of the event strikes me as pretty unprofessional. Again: if a conversation like this one is all it took to capsize the show, the plans were obviously not very solid or dependable to begin with.

Blaming the artists

This one thread alone has been very harmful for this event. JC, which is one of the 4 people funding this event, has not been comfortable at all with the negative reactions coming from ---artists themselves---.

even moreso

Let's not forget, Jun 15, Toronto ONtario, in the Annex, J Arthur Quains and PDF Format, 15 seat capacity! Projector screen may be donated by someone i know!

I said to someone earlier that I sort of hated how much the word "scene" was thrown around. It's impossible to poach this community without backlash. We're too insular, territorial and most importantly----disparate. Probably why it's so strong, huh?

LOL I think she meant literally IN our house. At one time or another every Australian artist I know has graced our humble abode.

Generally the descend on the house in gangs too.

And some internationals.

And the lazerblanket - which is almost a force unto itself.

Oh - and the reason that the scene has been in our backyard is because we made it so by starting to put on gigs- so it really only does support that theory
