Say, where is the loft?

You've gone through all the appropriate channels already. There's really nothing else to do, unless you'd want to email a second time. Going through TMM is your most solid bet. Perhaps a phone call would be more effective.

You haven't been reading The Catcher in the Rye, have you?

 

I haven't been reading The Catcher in the Rye recently, but I definitely love that book and have read it 3 or 4 times. It's a good book to read at different times in your life because you will always find a different meaning in it. I'm not entirely sure what the joke/connection is to my original post though, I'm guessing you're trying to make some commentary on the John Lennon/Mark David Chapman incident? but I don't really know what that has to do with a proposal. I appreciate the try though.

 

To everyone else: thanks for your suggestions and taking the time out to even read my post let alone reply to it. I still have some time until the actual show so I'm not giving up hope but it's starting to look like it's not in the cards. But, once again, thanks for the help guys.

Ooh, that's lovely!! Try again e-mailing, I hope it works!

You could also try the song request on the website: request "YOUR SONG" several times explaining the reason why you'd like them to play and maybe they can get in touch with you before the show!

Another idea maybe: having other fan who'd be going to a previous show and manages to talk to the band or their crew to pass on your message...

 

Good luck again! And keep us posted on any news about it...

Hey, they blew off my request for an interview for the Woodstock Times and I have 18,000-plus posts here.

Wow. That sucks. How did you get in contact with them?

The promotion company (Higher Ground Music) called us up trying to get us to agree to a trade deal (ads for free tickets). We did not take that deal, but in the ensuing deal (where cash was paid) they said we could have an interview, but no dice. Didn't even get a callback saying "forget about it, boys are too busy talking to Spin." I was actually pretty pissed - we are not accustomed to being blown off by sources - but then I went to show and it kicked so much ass that all was forgiven.

Wow. I kiddingly posted a "where's the loft?" comment and it was instantly deleted and I got a PM telling me I'm a creep. What did you do to deserve the right to make a joke?

I am not at liberty to say due to a pending civil suit.

 

 

Seriously, it is because I used a lower case 'l'. I was merely referring to the upstairs open area in some houses. I didn't know where it was until I received a PM after my post.

That's why.

Unless you kept that bit of info to yourself. If not, next time keep it to yourself.

Being an obsessive poster on a band's message board comes off as unprofessional.

No one is telling you not to, go ahead if it makes you happy, just don't expect it to necessarily endear you to the band and their camp. Likely the opposite.

Just an FYI.

I'm wondering if FYI might be somebody we might know...

 

(Not from the Tweedy/Miller family...he has posted on her screen name before)

I realize that since you joined this community earlier today and have two whole posts here you probably already understand the general tone of this place and are able to recognize irony vs sincerity from longtime members, but just in case you don't: he was fucking around by mentioning his post count.

Hey, go eat a bowl of candy-coated fuck. I am an award-winning professional journalist with 20 years of experience writing for papers with over 15,000 circulation. I am dead serious about my work. If the band didn't think it was worth their time talking to our publications, that's fine, but I think it was bad form for their PR people, after they promised our publisher an interview, to not follow through. And no, I did not bring VC into it. I agree with you there - it would not have been professional.
