[fan o gano]

At the moment, I'm most proud of a booking that I would bet half of the board knows yet he only has 375 last.fm listeners.

I think i know this.

[fan o gano]

Yourself?

Nah, I only have 20. Had to check.

Also, in hindsight, maybe it's more like a quarter of the board. But it's a good quarter.

[fishkingpies]

okay i took yesterday off from create a fest, but hopefully i'm all caught up now with replying to people's questions and emails and such.

think i've gotten 6 undercard lists so far which is great. keep them coming people.

[Audiobully]

I'll get it done this weeknd.

[nizzle]

My festival is completely done. Poster, schedule images, etc.

[fishkingpies]

ugh. starting on phase 4: cost sheets.

worst and most tedious part of moderating this whole thing. will try and send them to people who have already turned in undercards by the end of the weekend. already sent yours niz.

[fishkingpies]

just finished the schedule for my fest, though i'm sure i'll tweak it a billion times in the next month. :/

[Audiobully]

Ok, sent my lineup and financials FINALLY. Will work on the poster next. My schedules are all but completed already.

[fishkingpies]

okay i think i've sent out cost sheets to all 9 fests that have turned in their undercards so far.

remember, those of you who haven't submitted undercard lineups, they're due saturday.

[k2boarder36]

Have a final research paper due Friday. Will be working on my band list all day Saturday.

[fan o gano]

Pretty much everything is ready to go but I'm waiting until my special surprise is finished.

[fishkingpies]

just a reminder to those who haven't submitted their undercard lineups yet: rcarr11, shoopydoggy2002, wiscostraightup, thissy, and k2. don't forget they're due saturday night, though i might forgive thissy if he's late since he just got back from coachella and all.

[Thisismyname]

D'aw thanks.

I'll do my best. Should be fine, assuming I don't get invited to something SUPERAWESOME Saturday afternoon/early evening.

So yeah it should be fine.

[fan o gano]
