Not sure how NotPaul works?
Haven't used the dropbox yet?
Find out what it is all about.

Why?

fuagazi and DC. what more is there to say? minor threat? we started punk. ok, we did not. they did. ok.. they didn't but they were instrumental to US punk's progression from a transient music preference to a legitimate lifestytle statement. all of them (it's not just a mackaye thing). so awesome a band. they get mature and go on "hiatus". well the time has come for a reunion. i've been my very own waiting room for almost 5 years and i'm more than ready. i am a patient boy but right now... i don't think it should wait, and wait.....

it's hard to counter fugazi. in many, many ways it's easy to argue with them. but my point is that they're difficult to pass over.

In summary, i think you want to see Fuga.

    would be pretty amazing if this gig was on election note in DC... that'd be incredible. i'd fly across the fond for that myself.

    fugazi in DC would be insane. i'm down even though i can ill afford flights across the country. this is totally what NotPaul is all about -- great listing.

    This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen! Having seen Fugazi dozens of times, mostly in D.C., and knowing them, I can tell you that this will not work! And, they would NOT approve of you charging $15 for this. Hang it up, losers!

    dude -- nobody's is charging anything... maybe you should read how it works before dissing it.

    Fugazi had a policy of never charging more than $5 (rarely $8), therefore the bid of $15 is way too high! This is not going to work. Believe me, Fugazi are not going to reunite because of this. If they ever do decide to play together again, it'll be because they want to, not because of desperate pleas like this. And that is extremely unlikely. So why don't you stop wasting your time on this, and maybe order one of their live CDs or downloads!

    this is very true... right though 2000, that was still their practice. BUT, as i understand NotPaul the $15 is an arbitrary sitewide minimum but IF the band settles through notpaul, the band/promoter can settle at any price. admins, is that right?

    more to the point -- why wouldn't fans want to help organize something? isn't that what the whole fugazi spirit is about?

    i won't lose sleep if the show doesn't happen (that's up to the band and rightly so) but i love the ideas of fans being involved and helping inspire the band (just like they've inspired us).

    and if they decide to charge $15 because it's 2008 or 2009 then i'm willing to pay that... that's why the bid is blind. there shouldn't be anything sacred as long as i get to define my own limits.

    Very good points -- to clarify.
    1. The $15 is a system-wide minimum.
    2. But there's no reason the band cannot settle at a lower price if they wish.

    "very good points -- to clarify." - sounds like someone i know.

    It's NOT GONNA HAPPEN! Get over it.
  • notpaul's profile On 11/14/08 at 6:34pm notpaul said:
    it won't if you don't try man. at least we're doing something... let's just leave it at that. you are being unnecessarily negative when we are actually trying to help make something positive happen. even if it doesn't, at least we know we've given it a shot. you've just stood on the sidelines pissing on the idea.
  • bermtech's profile On 11/14/08 at 6:43pm bermtech said:
    If you really want to make this happen, why don't you contact the band personally, and see what they think? I'm pretty sure they have no interest in reuniting (with the possible exception of Joe Lally). If they wanted to play together again, they would. Why don't you spend your time working on something realistic, like stopping the genocide in Darfur or reducing poverty in the US and worldwide? Why do you waste your time and energy trying to make something happen that is realistically not gonna happen? Do you really have that much free time?
