Have we reached the duck yet?

To do so is to invite tradgety, and SHAME

bumping/supporting this post a third time because IMO if you try to analyze "the online state" of any music/art scene it often times turns into an analysis of why people are upset looking at their internet devices all day. i don't think it's actually healthy to separate the "states" like that between real and the internet in that manner, tbh. i think physical events are needed because they allow yourself to step back, humble yourself, and appreciate the things that made you inspired by it in the first place. they allow you to stop finding the negatives or finding a way to criticize and also allow you to become motivated by the things that worked and and have worked instead of trying to solve a puzzle of how to make it work better in the future for the benefit of others or for even for yourself. on the internet it's very easy to do that, because you're observing information constantly and responding to it. it's difficult to just enjoy being immersed in something that's going on because "online" is just a collection of statements and responses to those statements. i think i'm getting unnecessarily heady here, lol

the chances for finding an event close to anybody is more of a reality now than years ago though, i definitely suggest checking some out if anyone has the time and means to do it

edit: read through thread, I don't intend to be crass but I do also see how answering the OP with a different answer is just as frustrating and annoying so I apologize CS! but we did also talk about the topic of "Is the chip scene less supportive," and I think it's good to suggest going to a physical show as a better way to answer that large of a question. so personally I don't think a single person is trying to "be too cool for the internet" or anything like that at all by bringing up going to shows, but it's more of an extension of what 4mat said - the scene is way more physical than it was before because the outlets to express yourself outside of internet forums exist in a larger amount these days. many people didn't intentionally choose to be on forums outside of other options, forums and IRC were almost the only option then

and if youre near chicago, be prepared to travel a few hundred miles if you want to be at a gig with more than 10-12 people in attendance ... i mean, its a lot easier for you guys within a 3-4 hour ride from philly or nyc or sf or any of the places with scenes that have things going on on a semi-regular or regular basis, theres just not much going on in some cities and travel is sometimes cost or time prohibitive.. i had a 20+ hours trip between cars, trains and buses to get out to nyc for lwlvl ,.. not everyone can spare that kind of time...

BRKFEST?

Also I toured through Chicago and had ~50 people in attendance, so stuff is happening dude, just keep your eyes open!
