is something wrong with picture management on LJ? I deleted one of my images, but it remains in my list of pictures.

anyway. while i'm here..

i've thought about aquaknot, entertainme_nt and others's comments about the net killing our scene a lot over the last couple of days. while i'm probably not going to delete my journal I am going to make a concerted effort to spend less time here. I don't know if I can do it becuase, well.. i'm addicted just like many others. but i'm going to try.

in other news, Tears for the Dying may have found a victim.. i mean bassist. i've spoken with this person on the phone a couple of times and after listening to our existing demo tracks he still remained interested... upas and I will meet him this weekend, unless he comes to his senses and decides not to show up.

aquaknot i'm interested in your comment from yesterday.. very much so..

Well, yea, that's sort of what I feel about all of this too. While internet relationships can be amusing and even helpful, ultimately I'd feel empty and cheated if this was all I had.

And for the scene.. I guess some of us desperately need a reason why a scene can thrive in one or two places, and suck so horribly in others. I've rationalized it by the knowledge that LA and NYC have very large populations and the more people there are then the higher probability a scene will establish itself and thrive.

Out of 4 million people you'd think Atlanta would also have some semblance of a scene, in 2004... and i guess it does if you like graver music and fetish shows.

Had I the wherewithall I'd love to start something based on the RTB model, just once every two months even.. no cover charge, two bands, and dj's in the background, byob, ect... ya know, promote the hell out of it. and if nobody came the first few times then promote it even more.

I wouldn't know where to begin organizing something like that.. or where to look for event space, (obviously *not* any of the regular clubs because they aren't going to do it without charging cover, 21& up, ect.. ) i'm unfocused.. maybe my ideas are too farfetched and unrealistic but if theres a chance it could work...

I see complaints all the time that mid sized and smaller metropolitan areas like ATL (avg pop 1 million to 6 million) do not have any kind of 'scene' like LA or NYC's and I came up with the same rational... sheer size in population definitely is proportional to how much culture a particular city does have... if there is more culture there is of course more to do and better 'scenes'.. then many of the larger cities have a rather large suburban area or another fairly large city nearby (i.e. LA has Orange county and San Diego is only 1.5 hrs away.. ppl there who are into the scenes can make the occaisional drive there for various events..) I think one of the problems with Atlanta is any other sizable city is quite a drive away and therefore not worth going to unless there is a big show or event..
