DIY Fest 2004 31st July (2 Viewers)

[Dylan]

The confirmed line-up for this is

The Spungos
Estel
Ten Past Seven

(in that order)

don't suppose anyone wants to bring a guitar amp along? coz we're kinda stuck for a second amp.

how come when great things like this happen they always clash with other events?? Surely there must be some way everyone could ensure their events dont clash???

anyone?

You could start with a calendar thing on the site that IS updated regularly. I'd sugest a list that says DATE/BAND(S)/CITY/VENUE/PROMOTER.
I was going to suggest it before but don't have time to do it myself - does anyone else have the time?

 

[Dylan]

Alrite just wanna say thanks to a few people who the whole thing wouldnt have been possible without

posi as fuck dylan! sorry i had to leave to see da'charge but it was a really fuckin cool day, by the by i linked the pro-boards forum to the new site www.zinetrade.net

I saw another forum that had threads for "july gigs" etc so that month was somewhat contained within that thread. Obviously if it was only used for gig anouncements and people didnt go on about other crap it may work easier than a calender type thing that needed constant updating. could be handier than "any good gigs coming up" posts.
And yes i'm bummed that I missed this but not at the fact that it was because I was on tour.

 

[Phil]

How far ahead did the threads go? Having a lot of the top of the forum taken up with various months gigs would get in the way of all the useless shit.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

maybe 3 threads total? this month and the next two. of course if it wasnt for all the useless shit in the gigs thread it would probably work fine.

Right so - seeing as noone else could be bothered I've started a listing thing. A very rough draft is on www.thumped.com/hope/RptGigsByDate.html Give me a few more days and I'll get it sorted a bit better.
Mail any suggestions to [email protected] and if you want any gigs added then mail me also

 

[damien]

in fairness guys i think it is up to the people organising stuff to make sure things dont clash, and sometimes when it does happen its totally unavoidable (like in this instance).

did you just do that one up niall??? its massive!!
we should have a few confirmed upcoming gigs soon as well.

Shit!! Niall,you're a brave man taking that on. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for people to not bother sending in stuff.

 

[Shay HT]

Yeah!, in the four years I've had a gig database up for anyone to add to, I could probably count the number of people that have actually added stuff to it on the one hand!!!

Shay, that listing looks good. I don't go on the web that often and usually stick to this site - I was unaware that there was a gig listing on your comprehensive site

 

[Shay HT]

I can burn ya "Party Bullet", if you're coming to the Bray gig I can give it to you there, or i can post it to you.

Yeah Damien, I thought it might be a good idea. I'll be updating it over the next few days (and then regularly after that). Let's know what's going on.

I know that probably means something, I doubt it's normal anyway to do this kind of stuff
