Support Your Local Wombat's Big Event

[Deb]

The only way Andrew's event would be the epic failure that you predict it to be, would be if everyone adopted your thinking and didn't donate as Linda politely suggested. Think about that. And as for your request to post here? REQUEST DENIED!

Love this post and right on the money, Ken!

Funny how it always takes a group of you to "discuss" a topic with me.

You really do live on a planet of your own, don't you?

Reality check: It doesn't take a "group" to discuss a topic with you.
It only looks that way to you because you have this flair for ticking everyone off all at once.

It's y'all's problem if you can't keep your emotions in check, not mine. I'm cool. Since when are you and your little group "everyone"? Anyway.. I also am completely out of time to waste on here for real....so have fun as I know you'll keep talking about someone even if they not here to answer ( as you are doing) ..because thats just the type of folks you are. G' Day!

[yulog]

This thread smells like a rotten philly.

I agree

[Behshad]

I've got work to do so I can get to the gym , so you can go back to sleep now.

If anyone here would be a sir it would be you as you talk exactly like a man. Well, I shouldn't say all men as all men aren't as fowl mouthed as you can be. Good day to you too!

I really do have to go now so do have a good afternoon and try not to target anyone else and play nicer with others.

You are the troll, Behshad, by coming in continually with bait. This fish is off the hook now, freely swimming away, so good luck on your next fishing excursion.

Anyway.. I also am completely out of time to waste on here for real....so have fun as I know you'll keep talking about someone even if they not here to answer..because thats just the type of folks you are. G' Day!

Fucking bitch comes here, uses Andrew's bandwidth and brags openly about not supporting Andrew and his site !! Why Andrew hasnt banned this unappreciative piece of shit LONG time ago, is beyond me.

It's a cost-benefit analysis. How much bandwith does her blabbering waste versus how much amusement and laughter does it give us and likely Andrew as well? Even at her most loquacious, I imagine the latter still outweighs the former

And she calls me fowl-mouthed.

Well since you put it that way, bring that bitch back in !!!

Too late she is at the gym...

Good God, still going. Unbelievable, and Dan is scheduled to arrive shortly. This is going to be epic. Phyliss is going to wish she was starring in the Hurt Locker 2 This Time it's Live!, rather than be subjected to the online ass raping she is about to receive. HAHAHAHA

Sometime's following ones dream's is a stuggle and at time's a hardship and sacrifices have to be made. Guess it depend's on how much someone wants something and what they are willing to sacrifice for it. If the drive to do something is strong enough they will do whatever it takes to try to succeed. Many people have started the path to their dreams with little to nothing to begin with as well as care for their responsibilities. For one example here....Jeremy probably could be making a more stable living if he had stayed in a comfort zone in the business world but he choose to go with his passion and sing full time instead. Is it risky? Sure, but there are risks in everything, even in what is perceived as less risky. I also think that If JSS was more about money then following his heart he probably would have made diffrent chioces along the way and woul be more well known in the states, maybe. Perry could have kept plugging along instead of "retiring" and kept more in the spotlight but he opted out. It's all about choices and what someone is willing to do and what they are willing to do without to make them.

Are you KIDDING me? Risk is something you can take when you are single or have no children. I think Andrew is doing a great job being a support to his family from what I can see and he should do whatever he can with his "day job" to support his possible night job dreams. Which is something lots of musicians do. Does that make the ones with the day jobs lesser musicians? No. It means they need the means to follow their dreams. It really is no ones business not even mine, and definitely not yours how Andrew decides to live his life and support his family. YOU are the one who suggested we don't care about him if we aren't encouraging his dreams the way YOU are. What a crock!

Jeremey and others who have families have sometimes went for their dreams so I guess you consider that irresponsible then. I disagree that people who have done so with families have been irresponsible in that choice. Sure if someone fails to realize what they set out for some may consider it a failure and a bad desicion with hindsight but there have been many accomplishments by people throughout history of people who didn't let naysayers stand in their way.

At least you actually turned this to a discussion instead of only childish namecalling. It's actually an interesting discussion we've began but I do have to go so others can take up this debate if they wish. Have a good one.

By the way, just as the first Fest proved to be this one, even if successful and generates some profit, will be just a bandage and not a long term solution so hopefully Andrew will keep other options in mind and work at them as an insurance policy for the future.

No, don't put words in my mouth. I never said Jeremey was irresponsible. Actually, if you know Jeremey's history he had a day job for YEARS before he took that risk. And I don't know Jeremey's situation. I don't know what financial shape he was in when he took that leap and what shape Andrew is in, nor do I care since it's NONE of my business. I think everyone makes choices and they do the best they can with the means they have to support thier families and only they can know what risks are worth it. And you are talking about Andrew and writing which is about as difficult if not more so for making a career and earning money to pay those monthly bills. I bet many writers do other things besides their passion.

I really think if we care about Andrew we will encourage him and do the best we can to help him with his ventures on something that is important to him, especially when it's something we will all enjoy. If he believes in MRfest, then so do I

I thought Jeremey said with his job situation not as secure as it once was b/c of the economic climate he decided to take advantage of the resurgance of Journey music and make this his full-time job, and said the move prove to be a good move b/c of what happened with his job or company. I can't remember what exactly he said. I feel he was very much thinking of the financial security of his family when he made the move and was also able to do something he loved. He can elaborate or correct me if I'm offbase. I'm only talking from memory of what I remember.

..... Since when are you and your little group "everyone"? !

Yeah, I'm sure he took into account the financial security. I mean ANYONE would when they have a family! No one leaps blindly! Well, maybe some would obviously, or someone here. But to me that's what would be irresponsible. Someone not making a sound and thought out decision with a realisitic plan. It seems to me that Jeremey did that.

WHOA. You are WAY off base.

Firstly, Phallus had NO business talking about Jeremey, Jeff or Perry. That was asinine, to say the least. However, Jana, for you to suggest Jeremey went to full time singing in Frontiers based on the resurgence of Journey music is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read on here, no offense. Seriously, you think Journey's "resurgence" created a job for someone? Come on now.

If this is the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard on here, I'm insulted. I just meant re a market for it on a full-time basis. I don't know. I am speaking from a vague memory, so I will shut up.

No no no, don't shut up, but I can see it now....."Today President Obama hailed the new economic numbers out today from the OMB. Unemployment dropped .5% based mainly on the fact that Journey released a new album. The slew of new Journey tribute bands grew exponentially."

You're a good egg Jana, but the myopia you see or don't see with Journey is a bit "out there."

But not to worry, your unbiased, clear objectivity on Journey always brings me back down to earth, Deano.

BTW, I never meant resurgence b/c of Arnel and new album. I meant resurgence b/c of DSB/Sopranos, etc. and 80s music in general.

Nope, I won't support it. I didn't think he should put on another MRFest to begin with as I've thought from the start it won't be as successful as he needs it to be. I think he should move on with his writing and other things he wants to do and let all this go....just my opinion...but I wish him well with it and in no way do I feel others should not support him in this venture and/or support this site if they so choose.

Geesh.. what a way to turn a good hearted thread into an "all about you" thread.

Opinion or not.. this was a thread that you could've just simply not replied to.

Phyllis, if there was a way for me to open your skull (preferably with an axe) and scoop out the shit inside of it, I don't think you'd have enough material to fill a fucking M&M. You're about as wanted around here as Ted Bundy at a sorority party. You're completely useless to this planet. If O.J. Simpson had a load of his "juice" screaming down your throat I'd feel sorry for the little bastards as they entered the depths of hell. The next positive thing you hear hurled your way will probably be applause at your funeral. But at least it's something for both of us to look forward to.

[Behshad]

Saint John my friend,,
she is not worth your while,,, she is a waste of space,,,, It bothers me that someone ( a nobody like here) would have the guts to come to a place where we all try to have fun and proudly announce that she will NOT support Andrew and his ideas (oh but she wishes him well),,,,


I dont see how this witch contributes to this site in any way,shape or form,,,,, Do you Andrew??

[Andrew]

Sometimes to follow your dreams you need money. Writing doesn't bring in the paycheck he may need to feed his family. Think about it. He can write as a side hobby and hope to make money, but he needs a sure deal and steady income too. Why am I even TRYING to explain this. Nevermind. Your opinion will not change how most feel, and that is grateful and thankful for the site, the friends and Andrew for all he does to keep this going.

THANK YOU!

Phyllis - your post is perhaps misguided and poorly worded, but let me address it briefly.

You are absolutely correct in the fact I want to continue my writing and working towards the ideas I have, I remain very passionate about this. But the stark reality is that this business is in the shitter.
There is less money in the scene now than at any time previous in the 13 years I have been doing this. I slide backwards little by little each and every month and have done so for the last 12 months - coinciding with the worst 12 months of my life health wise.

I wasn't sure I was up for organizing another show...still hopeful I can make it thru unscathed...but the die hard supportes of this scene (including the family on this board) were calling for one and the fact is that such a bold move is the ONLY way I could ever hope to raise enough capital to get out of trouble.
No one else is going to suddenly appear with a wad of cash to bring to the site/business.

So I take cances to make my own luck. Will it pay off? Right now maybe not....but perhaps. And if it does, you'll have another 12 months of guaranteed posting time to annoy the absolute shit out of everyone else.

If not...well, you'll brobably have to find another unsuspecting family of message board posters to bring your ever joyous message to.

Right now you'll excuse me while I go and try and round up some sponsorship support for MelodicRockFest 2 - the biggest and best melodic rock festival anywhere in 2010.

I just ate some Bob Evans carryout kitchen and had some Cheddar Baked Potato Soup, you do the math. Ok, I'll tell you. I laughed really hard and pooped a little bit. you'd be proud.

I love the Ted Bundy reference.
