that fuckin' blows. we had a nice slot on that thing - 12:30 am in the main room right after sage francis.

oh well. the party dream and teeth of the hydra are still kickin' it together at skully's on july 19.

Wha Happened? That's what I'd like to know.

So in the interest of saving your ass this weekend, try this alternative on for size:

84 Nash
MOTO (from Chicago) really worth the price alone
Tree of Snakes

and the last ever performance by the Offending Instruments.

Friday July 12th at the High Five

Broz --

Let's keep discussion onto the issue at hand, thanks Hypers.

Latest report:

MTM 2003 cannot take place at THE FACTORY due to internal venue issues (i.e. out of the MTM crews hands)...BUT...THE MTM CREW is working on moving the show. Please check back here often for updates.

that sucks.

(insert other local show that you are hyping here)

There is hope My brothers and sisters.
I just posted this:

A team of people are busy scouring columbus for a venue as we speak.
Contact me if you have any leads????

Word.

A fucking disaster. Those Factory Fucks have reached a new low.

it sucks most for the organizers -- getting all the bands on it, promotion/press, money, wasted time and energy.

that's got to be frustrating as all fuck, especially since this happens only once a year.

organizers, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

(p.s. sorry for the shameless plug earlier...internalizing...stick to topic, stick to topic, stick to topic)

Random Thought:

All you bands that have shows this wekeend might want to try and scoop up some of the MTM bands if an alternative venue cant be found.

for that line-up i might have considered driving to columbus myself, but geez this is a sad, sad story.

duffy, shoot me an e-mail sometime about next weeks siren music fest.

I'd offer some gig space, but the gigs I have this weekend are not mine to give......

(must not hype alternative local festival.....)

I'm going to call Skully's now about our (Miranda Sound's) show with Denovo and Tiara tomorrow (Friday). They're probably already making moves, but we'd be happy to scoot over for a few bands to help MTM stay afloat.

Drop me a line if you hear anything, people. Sanks.

According to Skully's, they might throw 1-2 bands from MTM on the bill with Tiara and Denovo and Miranda Sound (us) for Friday, but "nothing major will happen".

I'm glad they're trying to help out, but I'm sorry that more can't be done.

It looks as though the idea of moving MTM to another venue has fell through and MTM is totally cancelled.

Seemed like moving it was a futile idea....

Good to see the Factory Fucks listing the show on their website still (which is now back up, but seriously out of date).

how long was the factory up? Seems almost a new record in this town....

Always wondered how to make a bar go under....
