BEIJING (AP) — China announced on Saturday a modest easing of exchange rate controls that have been criticized by Washington and other trading partners, adding to a flurry of reform initiatives aimed at making its slowing economy more efficient.
The range in which the tightly controlled yuan is allowed to fluctuate against the dollar each day will double in size, though to a still relatively narrow 2%.
The move was widely expected after Premier Li Keqiang promised in an annual policy speech last week to give market forces a "decisive role" in allocating credit and other resources in the state-dominated economy.
The ruling Communist Party says it wants to inject more competition into the economy and nurture self-sustaining growth based on domestic consumption instead of trade and investment.
In a steady drumbeat of recent changes, authorities also have announced plans to create China's first privately financed banks and promised to ease the tax and regulatory burden on entrepreneurs.
Widening the trading band will help to "optimize the efficiency of capital allocation and market allocation of resources to accelerate economic development," the central bank said in a statement.
The U.S. Treasury Department had no immediate reaction to the announcement.
China's rapid economic growth tumbled to a two-decade low of 7.7% last year. This year's official growth target is slightly lower at 7.%, but Li said this week Beijing will be flexible about it as long as the economy generates enough new jobs.
Washington and other governments complain Beijing suppresses the value of the yuan, unfairly making Chinese exports cheaper abroad and hurting foreign competitors.
The relatively small size of Saturday's change appeared unlikely to mollify Beijing's foreign critics. Some U.S. lawmakers have demanded punitive tariffs on Chinese goods if Beijing failed to ease controls, but the White House has resisted imposing sanctions.
Beijing reported a $260 billion global trade surplus last year, a $30 billion increase over 2012 and among the largest ever recorded by any country.
Chinese leaders say they plan eventually to let the yuan float freely, but private sector analysts say that might be decades away.
Beijing is reluctant to allow big changes in the currency for fear of hurting exporters that employ millions of workers. But analysts say they might have gained confidence from recent strong trade performance.
Allowing the yuan to rise in value would increase the buying power of Chinese households, helping to achieve the ruling party's goal of nurturing more sustainable economic growth based on domestic consumption instead of trade and investment.
A stronger yuan also could help to suppress pressure for politically sensitive consumer prices to rise by making imports cheaper.
Reform advocates say that by suppressing the yuan's value, Beijing has been forcing even poor households to subsidize exporters.
In recent weeks, the central bank has been guiding the yuan's exchange lower against the dollar in what analysts said was an effort to discourage speculators who are moving money into China to profit from the currency's rise.
Reader's Opinion :
Mega Brilianingrum
China has been known to manipulate its currency and it has been criticized by Washington and other trading partners because Beijing suppresses the value of the yuan and unfairly making Chinese exports cheaper abroad and hurting foreign competitors. And the government thinks that "if currency manipulation is so great for exports, why don't we do it?"
Allowing the yuan to rise in value world increase the buying power of Chinese households helping to achieve the ruling party's goal of nurturing more sustainable economic growth based on domestic consumption instead of trade and investment and a stronger yuan also could make imports cheaper. But doesn't that mean all the things which have involved poor households are for ruling party's sake? Is it fair for those poor households? In conclusion, they need to stop manipulating their currency.

'How I Met Your Mother' recap: For whom the wedding bells toll
"Kids, there are two big days in any love story: The day you meet the girl of your dreams and the day you marry her."
That's how Monday night's "How I Met Your Mother" season premiere started. After a summer summer of telling TV reporters and critics that Season 6 would be a return to the show's early seasons, co-creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas delivered a solid episode that got things off to a promising start with a sweet Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan) story and a classic "Mother" twist ending, but back to the beginning first.
The episode started with a flash forward to a wedding. Marshall brings a nervous Ted (Josh Radnor) a beer. Could this be Ted's wedding day? Back in the present day, a nervous Ted is trying to work up the nerve to approach a hot girl at the bar. When Cindy (Rachel Bilson) shows up and greets the girl, Ted realizes that she may be Cindy's perfect-for-Ted roommate, but getting to her will be even harder now since he and Cindy didn't end things on good terms. Cue flashback to Ted and Cindy having an awkward exchange on campus.
Meanwhile, Marshall and Lily are trying to make a baby, but Marshall's father is getting in the way. Lily is upset that Marshall told his overly involved, no-boundaries dad about their baby-making attempts. I was siding with Marshall until he revealed that his dad and mother were going to come live with them for three months. Bad move, Marshall. Lily insists that he tell his father that they've decided not to have a baby.
"You want me to give my dad a stroke?!" Marshall exclaims.
"Only if you want to give this a stroke," Lily replies, motioning at her body. Nice move, Lily. But after a brief heart to heart with Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) – yes, Barney – who tells her he'd be on the phone with his dad all the time if he had his number, Lily realizes Marshall and his dad both just care too much. And Marshall reassures her that she could never let him down, even if she can't have a baby. This is the kind of emotional, touching and funny Marshall and Lily storyline I can get behind. More of this, less of the nagging twosome who attacked last season.
Robin (Cobie Smulders), however, seems to have progressed backward. Upset over her breakup with Don, which was months ago – was she really that into him? – she's looking like a homeless person and eating Cheetos found in her hair. To quote Bilson on another show, "Ew!" Still, it's pretty hard to make Smulders look terrible, even in dirty sweatpants and hair that looks like it hasn't been brushed in weeks. Robin gets her groove back when Barney insists that she's past her expiration date. To prove him wrong, she not only sundresses up, she white-sundresses up.
"Robin, you do look super hot," Barney says, admiring her.
"Oh, do I?" she asks.
"Yeah, you do," he replies, a little softer and more genuinely this time as she pops a Cheeto out of her purse. Also, notice the way Barney checks her out when she isn't looking. I think there's still a chance for these two.
The episode ends back at the wedding, where Lily comes and says the best man, Ted, is needed. In the voiceover, Ted tells his kids this is the day he met their mother, and then it begins to rain. The "I'm hoping it doesn't rain" at the beginning of the episode was great foreshadowing to the infamous yellow umbrella. So if this isn't Ted's wedding, then whose is it? There's only so many people who would make Ted their best man, I think. My mind immediately jumped to Barney's and possibly Robin's wedding. But then why is Cindy's roommate there? Did Cindy make Ted the best man at her wedding?
Readers, what do you think? Are you pleased with this new chapter in the mother mystery? I must admit I was expecting a bigger reveal about the mother. Cindy's surprise liplock upstaged the ending for me, but at least we now know when Ted meets the mother and, supposedly, it's not too far off.

Whats the worst attended gig you've been to?
in this, I mean a 'proper' band at a 'proper' venue, so not yer mates band at the working men's club or that
I saw Jaguar Love play the Cockpit in Leeds to a crowd of about 20 people. I felt embarrassed to be there for them
There's 2 that stand out
Rachel Stamp at the Astoria, for being awful (it was a friend's birthday) and the fact they had the balls to book a gig at the Astoria, put it on sale about 9 months in advance and they still closed the upstairs because of low ticket sales.
Or the Ordinary Boys supported by hard-Fi - Preston walked out after 2 songs because he wasn't happy about how his guitar sounded. I only went as I wanted to hang out with someone I fancied, who is now my husband so y'know, it was worth it.
- furio, JaguarPirate, and Lililololaure this'd this
Compeltely misread this thread as "worst gig"
and now feel silly even if the first story is still valid.BetterGayThanGuevara, Antelope, and JaguarPirate this'd this
Ordinary Boys
When was that? Early days? Post second album but pre-Big Brother? They always seemed really popular.
to be fair to Rachel Stamp
they'd basically sold out the Astoria about eighteen months before that show.
Fair enough
That one should have been downgraded though or y'know, aborted all together.
I look forward to LLB's
Statistics at the Underworld story.Steved, LordLuciusBanter, colinzealuk, automatik, oenso, and JaguarPirate this'd this
Billy Mahonie at Clwb Ifor Bach
The room was pretty rammed for the support act, who were a local band I'd never heard of, but pretty much everyone cleared off when they finished, leaving about 7 or 8 of us in the room. Poor Billy Mahonie, they still played a ripping set though.
I was one of the 7 or 8
yeah they were good. this was a time when there were next to no independent promoters in Cardiff and the dude that booked most of these kind of gigs essentially had no interest in music
Feels like we should track down the others and have a reunion party
I still know the guy I went with, so we're nearly halfway there.
Icarus Line
wedgeroom rooms after Mono came out
to about 20 people
absolutely amazing show
Most of the gigs I put on
*bitter sigh*shadyadie this'd this
we'd fit that bill :D
I remember playing to about twelve people at the Good Ship, who were all very suportive but... about the same at the Fox & Firkin with the added bonus of a drunken old man dancing... and, er, five people at the Cross Kings, things started getting better after that though, promise!
I once played a gig in the Dublin Castle
for about 5 people. Two of them I persuaded to come in at the last minute.
Think abou that. 5 people. In the Dublin Castle.
I played a show in brighton once
To the promoter, bar man and 3 friends that had come over with us in our cars.moker this'd this
Seen it
More than onceshadyadie this'd this
Massive Attack
Last time they played the Academy in Glasgow. Was £40.00 a ticket, they played just over an hour and the sound was fucking terrible.
Caribou in Reading
Brilliant venue called South Street, literally no more than 30 people there. Just after Andorra came out too. Utterly bizarre.
I couldn't go to that show but I was surprised they came back to Reading
They played at South Street the year before that when Yeti came out and there were about 16 people there then.thegoodmrbrodie this'd this
south st is KING of the great band / poor attendance matrix. pretty much my favourite place in the world.Pale-eyedBadger and eltham this'd this
Damn staight
We put on Cissy at South Street a few years back. 6 paying customers.
They were ace too - felt well bad for them. FUCK YOU PEOPLE OF READING.
When Explosions in the Sky supported Four Tet
it was pretty full during EITS but only about 20 people remained for Four Tet.
Bunch of philistines, 'dingers (no offence, Niki). They just don't like good things e.g. the Uniqlo shutting down.
I was at that gig.
And yeah, I agree with you. Did you go to Stars / My Latest Novel in 2005/6?
Caribou blew up massively on the back of that ridonkulously long tour
I saw them at the beginning of the tour in Nottingham, and they drew a pretty sparse crowd too.
Electric Eel Shock
At Academy 2 in Oxford. There were about 20 of us in a 500 capacity venue and it was just a bit embarassing for everybody concerned. They still put on a great show though, bless 'em.
Forward Russia at Newcastle Academy 2
They cancelled the first date which had been part of a tour, and then rescheduled as a standalone gig. Must have been to less than 40 people, and most were there for the two shitty local supports.
Only about a year earlier they'd played to a packed out Northumbria Uni as well.hairystavros this'd this
Surprised Drowned in Sound didn't have it's cyber member
rammed firmly up their collective buttocks.
they over toured the previous year played Newcastle 3 times, 2 x times at the Cluny 1 x time at the uni with the same material.
Saw them at the Garage in Glasgow
Wasn't even close to half full.
Young Gods in Morecambe, 1989
For some reason the gig took place in a really cheesy handbag/white stilettos nightclub on the seafront. The stage was about 6ft by 6ft & in the middle of the dancefloor, surrounded by railings. About 20 people showed up, & half a dozen of them had walked out by the end of the second song (one of whom had to be restrained from attacking the band he hated them so much).
But they still gave it their all & it turned out to be an amazing gig, and I was able to hang out with Franz Treichler after the show. He shared his chips with me. Lovely fella.
Every time I hear/read about a Young Gods tour the main point of the review seems to be that barely anyone showed up
I'm surprised they still bother coming over.
Saw them in Manchester 2 years later
& the place was packed, though that was on the TV Sky tour which is about as close as they came to crossing over.
But yeah, I think 90% of the people who attended their early shows were Melody Maker journalists.
Linkin Park / MEN
Took my boy who loves them. I'm not a fan, but I honestly thought it would be entertaining. I tried to write a relatively even-handed review so I wouldn't be dismissed as a 'hater' but I'm pretty graphic in my disgust. "A wealth accumulating vacuum of cynicism." Judging by the comments, I half-succeeded.
I wrote it anonymously as I told my son I'd had a great time and didn't want him stumbling across the review and being gutted.
it's utterly irrelevent!
I misread the OP title.roastthemonaspit this'd this
Foals in 2007
in Stoke, cost £4 to get in, about 30 people there.
the last two shows I put on in London
had about ten paying customers between them.
I saw Ice, Sea, Dead People supporting Les Savy Fav
That was the first time I realised that there were now people in bands who are younger than I am.
I liked the bit when I turned up with the worst, tiniest amp evrr and the soundman was like, "...no, really, is that it?"
and then he later told me off for playing with the scratching function on the decks too much
oh yeah
dude there is literally nobody here who isn't a band member or a promoter so I think we can get away with pissing about a bit while we're DJing
i played that solo didn't i?
didn't i have to stop a song because someone who wasn't in one of the bands had walked in and i wanted to know his name?
am i making this up?
He was standing at the back with a beer and you asked him his name :D
Dananananananaykroyd in Aberdeen after Hey Everyone's release
probably about 20 people. Pretty good though.
just before merriweather came out. i'd estimate 30 people in a 400 seated theatre. incredible show.
upstairs in the Tap and Spile, Darlington. I guess that counts as a proper gig. Me and my friend Amy were the only two paying customers. The rest of the room was the two support bands. Good on them for playing for over an hour though. We bought records because they looked sad.
are they still going?
liked that debut record
I think so, to some extent
It was first album-era that I saw them. There's definitely been a 2nd album and some scattered EPs.
by first album
i assume you mean And The Battle Is Won? There's some older ones they don't list on their discography anymore.
There have been three albums since that though, and some EPs. The second album, Embers, is a pretty incredible piece of work.
Been to plenty of gigs back in the 90s with hardly anyone there
It was pretty common for indie bands to play to tiny crowds back when it was very unpopular.
In terms of vague shocks though, I remember going to see a FOTL London show just after the second record came out which baffled me. There was about a mere handful of people there yet the gigs either side of that in the capital both sold out and were at far bigger venues.
The biggest shock was maybe M.I.A. on the Kala tour at Norwich Waterfront. There was about 30 of us there and I had the whole place to dance around like a twat in. And apparently most of the tickets had been given to students on the UEA campus for free. To her credit, she still played like there were thousands of us there.
Lair of the Minotaur and Capricorns at the Exeter Cavern
Reasonably sure band members and crew outnumbered the crowd.
Jaguar Love at the Bristola Academy 2
I'm not sure they'd even released any music at this stage, and the promoter just seemd to have blithely assumed they'd instantly draw a Blood Brothers-size crowd. It was so poorly attended that Johnny Whitney just got the 20 or so people there to climb over the crash barrier and played an absolutely cracking set in what was now a pretty cramped space. That is how to do it.
- vamos and JaguarPirate this'd this
Ken Stringfellow (Posies)
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in 2009
Probably the strangest gig I've ever been to. Desperate to sell tickets, the promoter billed him as a member of REM (which, as he had toured with them as an additional member, I guess was partly true). About 20 people turned up, half of them expecting to hear Losing My Religion et al. DJ played "Sexbomb" by Tom Jones as he came out. He abandoned the stage & spent the gig wandering from table to table serenading us all individually (even the table of drunk expat arseholes who kept shouting "Shiny Happy People" at him). Did a mix of his own songs, lots of covers, & standup routines. Started at 9.30 & was still going when I went home at 2am. What a guy.
- Filip this'd this
Ultrasound at a place in kentish Town, around 30 people.
Once saw comedy with 8 people ( In a 90 seater). It was political animal with Anday Zaltzman and Jon Oliver, in around 2002 time, soho theatre.
First comedian stuttered through his set and was clearly very upset about the crowd numbers. Last comedian did 2 minutes before leaving in a strop. But the middle comedian, before he became much bigger, was very funny, charming and connected with the audience without being put off at all.
That comedian? Russell Brand.
Trail of Dead in Bangkok last month
Played in a small club, maybe capacity of 200-300, & maybe 40-50 showed up. Great gig, guitarist was playing on the bar at one point before rolling around on the floor with the bassist & various crowd members.
So jealous
Would love to see a small show by them, but even in the provincial dates they're still playing biggish venues. Missed out on a windmill ticket as I didn't see a pm on here, heartbroken!
Saw them at the Barfly when they toured Madonna
Still in top 5 gigs ever #smug
saw them at Fibbers in York the other week
that's a pretty small venue, it was an excellent show as well. In fact when I last saw them in Leeds it was in the middle room of The Cockpit and it wasn't full.
I saw Matt Elliott (Third Eye Foundation) at the Wheatsheaf in Oxford, and the only people there were me and my mate, the promoter and his girlfriend. To be fair to them, they put on a fucking amazing show still!
Also once my band played in Portsmouth (after we'd released our EP on a proper label and stuff) and there were 6 people there including the support band. One of the punters was only there because her first name was the same as our band name. She walked out halfway through.
Least attended festival
was the Chapman Brothers ATP. If you think Camber feels eerie, you should try it in the middle of winter when its less than half full.chasingabee this'd this
Vic Chesnutt
There were around twenty people in attendance when Vic Chesnutt played Koko (with Silver Mt. Zion backing him). They performed a full show but was pretty weird. ATP must have a lost fortune.
I saw the Brighton leg of that tour in the Concorde II
Also had a very thin crowd, which was a shame as it was one of the best performances I've ever seen by anyone ever.
i was at that
don't remember it being THAT badly attended
not really 20
more like 200. i went with 3 mates and we certainly didnt make up 1/5th of the audience.
Conor Oberst at Leeds Festival '08 was a shocker
In terms of it being a festival.There was about 5 rows at the front then the rest of the tent was empty. Admittedly I was only there for a good spot for Shadow Puppets.
Probably when my band supported the reunion show years ago.
Middle of the summer, England match on. Think there were 6 or 7 people other than the bands and bar staff there. They still put on a great performance though. We were shit, mind.
minus at rock city basement
8 people, 4 of which were on the guestlist. Then i think the rest of the audience were in amusement parks on fire
Shellac at Evershot village hall
Around the time At Action Park came out. Must have been about 35-40 of us at the end. It was excellent.
was this the one
they were playing because it was near PJ Harvey's place?
That's right
She was there selling raffle tickets.
It's this place: http://giancinephile.typepad.com/.a/6a0133f4ebe468970b017744396fba970d-500wi
I started referring to Evershot as Louse Point but it didn't really catch on.
Obits at The Thekla in Bristol
I reckon there were about 20 people almost half of which were in the support bands.
definitely one of my own.
Bournemouth surburbs circa 2003. only 1 person was watching (our driver) and the people working there started tidying up and putting all the chairs on the tables half way through our set.
I saw some spazzy metalcore band in Bristol
I forget their name, but they were well known-ish. An American band. There were about 15 of us there, all curiously in a line in a small venue watching them go for it, not even on a stage, just on the floor. Lots of awkwardness and nodding heads, as soon as they played their last note they just packed all their stuff away in bags and fucked off.
I have also seen McLusky play to a handful of people in Cardiff many years ago, before the Do Dallas days. Once being supported by a ska band which was quite odd.
I saw the Besnard Lakes
at the Thekla in bristol with about 20 people a few years ago. Really good set mind..
Went to the inbetween days of ATP a couple of years ago, so a bunch of bands - Dirty Three, lightning Bolt, Om, and there were only 30 odd people there. Butlins in winter with 30 other people is also an odd experience...
Slow Club
at the Wedgewood Rooms earlier this year. There were seriously about 20 people there. :( I guess it was nice and intimate - they even played an acoustic encore amongst the audience, which was superb.
Couldn't help wishing there were more people there for the band though. :/
Enemies at Animal Disco in Belfast last year
I think it was me, the promoter and one other person. Someone else wandered in at some point I think and then left again.
It was a weekly club night with a band on at midnight so it was bizarre for there to be no one there. I'd seen BATS at it a couple of months before and it was packed.
Ween at the Sausage Machine in
Belsize Park. Admittedly, very few people had heard of them at that stage, But I had. There were four of us who watched them - me, my mate and the promoter. There was one other guy.
Mark Eitzel
At the Junction2 in Cambridge. I dragged a couple of friends along to see 'the greatest song-writer of his generation', apart from us there were about 10 people there. He came on and muttered something about renaming the tour to 'The long dark road to oblivion'...
Came back with AMC about a year later and got a great crowd and reception, don't know what's wrong with people...
Ariel Pink at Bodega in Wellington at the start of this year
Can't have been more than 30 people there. Great gig, one of the best I've ever been to. Debuted a lot of their new songs from the new album. Crowd really got into it, despite being mostly indie types. They played for over 2 and half hours too, which was really cool considering they were probably jetlagged and had had enough by that stage.
My Bloody Valentine at Kent Uni
Just before 'Ecstasy' was released in 1987.
Me and 3 mates went. When the support band were on there was only us 4 and Belinda and Deb from the band watching them, when MBV went on it was us 4 and I'm not even sure if the support band watched them.
Good gig, my ears hurt for days afterwards.
I'm sure I've been to a few equally empty gigs but that one stands out for obvious reasons.
Copy and pasted from before
Statistics at the Underworld.
It was my then girlfriend's birthday and she loved them. So we got tickets to go and see them. There seemed to be a bit of hype because they were the band of Desparcidos. Thought it was close to selling out.
It was not. There was at most 20 people there. And what a spectacle.
First, the lead singer came out dressed in a track suit, running on the spot and doing press ups to the Team America theme tune.
He then proceded to chat the most amount of shit ever. Including
Using his loop pedal to play Eye of the Tiger
Saying 'Sorry everyone, we are in fact, THE KILLERS!' then started playing Mr Brightside, but he faltered on one bit and he was like 'Wait, wait, I can do this' slowly picking through it
In the middle of one of their songs he screamed '9/11 REMIX!!!!!!!!!' and started shredding
When someone shouted PLAY A FUCKING SONG he replied what's that, you want to see me balance my guitar on the end of my chin. ok! Got on his knees and did so
OK! We're gonna do a little call and respond. I see Panic at the Disco are doing it and they're popular so maybe it'll make us popular. right so I say something like shotgun, and you all say something like wedding back alright? ok here we go! WHEN I SAY HOLLER - YOU SAY CAUST! HOLLER! *stunned silence*
He finished with WOO LONDON! YEAH LONDON! I'M SUPPOSED TO CARE COS IT'S LONDON RIGHT? AND YOU'RE ALL A BIG DEAL YEAH? BUT I'M SORRY, I COULDN'T GIVE A FUCk. YOU'RE NOTHING TO ME. GOODNIGHT.
They were on stage for 50 minutes. They played 6 songs amounting to about 20 minutes of music
That sounds amazing

I dont know how he managed to get so wrecked in such a short space of time, I spoke to him at the merch not too long before their set and he seemed completely sober and quite reserved, and then somehow turned into a beast

Always makes me think
of Father Ted strumming through My Lovely Horse.
I just went to see We Butter the Bread with Butter
last week, upstairs at the Garage. I know they're mental and niche (look them up) but they're pretty fuckign huge in Germany. They played to about 25 people. Maybe 35 at a push. There was a mosh pit of about 4 people.
Still put on a great gig. Chucked loads of massive balloons out too.
Didn't think that much of the music but I was well drunk so had fun.
Walter Schriefels (don't know how you spell it...the guy from Rival Schools)
he played at Truck one year. I think the act before him was Frank Turner maybe, and he had a pretty big crowd, then everyone vanished as soon as he finished. When Walter came on there were probably only about 50 people there - pretty poor considering this is early evening on the main stage.
All my friends abandoned me to watch someone else. I was too stoned to move, so i just lay on the grass in the sun watching him play Rival Schools songs. It was pretty great.
I also think this may have been when i bumped into a diser (or she bumped into me, rather), but i was incapable of conversation and she left quite swiftly.
The Drips @ The Garage back in 2006.
Think it was the same night that Guns N Roses and Deftones were playing (not together, in different venues) and there must have been about 50 people there. It was fantastic though; Matt spent the whole gig in the very sparse crowd singing at everyone.
The doomed Lost Weekend in 2000...
...at a place called the London Arena in the Docklands. (whatever happened to it?)
It was an all-day 'rock' event and Nine Inch Nails were supposed to headline but cancelled on the day (their drummer got ill apparently, but this was right around the time Reznor was at his most fucked up so it might have been him being too mashed to play) meaning Ash of all people were bumped up to headliners. The promoters were actually offering a full refund if you wanted it because basically everyone was there for NIN.
I'd come all the way down from Aberdeen so went along anyway. It was a half-empty arena, actually maybe even emptier than that, and it was very, very weird being able to wander around freely in a place like that.
When Ash came on they got bottled so badly. Tim Wheeler apologised for not being NIN but this didn't stop the bottling. Poor Ash.
hahahaha, I remember that
I didn't go, thankfully. The London Arena was a hideous place though.
oh, and what happened to it?
It was mainly built as a home for a London ice hockey team I think, and they folded 2003-ish. The arena was demolished and replaced with a residential development.
My friend's band supported Psychedelic Horseshit once
There were 6 people in the room, three of whom were in my friend's band (the other support band left after they played), and I got in for free.
This didn't dampen PH, though, as the guy from them kept asking if we were going to 'party' with them, 'get fucked up' and 'smoke a bunch of weed' or whatever. I think it was a Tuesday night or something.
I went to Truck Festival USA in 2010
which was somewhere upstate New York, in the Catskill mountains.
Seemed that around 100 people turned up and most of them were "working" the festival. I think me and my mate were the only ones in our party that actually paid for a ticket.
Saw Willy Mason in a barn with about 10-20 other people. Mercury Rev headlined in what was a relatively big tent to about 30-40 people on the last night.
All in all, I had an awesome weekend. Chilled vibe, beautiful scenery, swimming pool, etc... The organisers must have lost a ton though.
instruction & Garrison at fibbers in york
in 2003, just found a review online (geocities!) that says there were 50 people there, including bands and staff. MASSIVELY overstating it. think there were maybe 15 people in the audience. it was brilliant.
Mull Historical Society / Snow Patrol / Brendan Benson
All came through Wolverhampton at some point to play to me, my girlfriend and about 3 other people. I think it was at the tail end of Wolves being a regular stop off for tour bookers before Birmingham had a better variety of mid sized venues... 2001/2/3/4. The Snow Patrol one was like a week before they got the new band and became absolutely huge which was and is pretty funny to me.
Boom Boom Satellites
at Reading TUC Club (which I now believe is the Face Bar). Me and a mate turned up, sat in there waiting for the venue to open with only a couple of club regulars to keep us company. Perhaps unsurprisingly the band decided not to play for just 2 of us.
We went for a pint at The Battle Inn after, which is an experience I'll never forget...
I live round the corner from what used to be the Battle Inn
So glad it closed down (along with the Alfreds Head nearby) as I don't fancy a local where i'm almost guaranteed to get my head caved in.
at an HMV instore in Bristol in 1999. They played a three song acoustic set in a tiny corner. About 30 of us there to start with and I think about 10 left during the course of it. Certainly not many of us got our copy of Showbiz signed. Matt Bellamy signed the "y" of his name with a series of loops and squiggles, like you do at school when first practising a signature. I suspect he doesn't do that anymore...
Junior Boys at The Roadhouse, Manchester (c.2005)
I was convinced the show would sell out as it was shortly after So This Is Goodbye was released and Pitchfork et al were giving them a lot of coverage at the time.
About 10 people showed up. Awkward.
Funnily enough I also read the title of the thread incorrectly.
So you nearly had me banging on about the horrific gig experience Runrig at the Carlisle Sands Centre in 1991. But anyway.
I've been to plenty of sparsely attended gigs in my time, but two spring to mind because they are amongst my favourite gigs of all time, and both happened in the same week in 2007-ish:
Vialka at the Hull Adelphi
Gallon Drunk at the Doncaster Leopard.
I was living in Leeds at the time so it was a pretty big effort for me to get to the shows. The public of Hull/Doncaster were a bit more apathetic with the attendance for both shows in single numbers. But both bands really put their back into the performances and both played blinders.
We've put on several gigs with an attendance of less than a dozen paying punters.
They make you feel terrible and ashamed, however brilliant a performance the artist might put on, and however much of a good time the crowd has had, you know that you've let everyone down.
The most empty would probably be:
Rivulets at the Cross Kings
Railcars at the Good Ship
Passe-Montange at Catch
Dreamcatcher at Jamboree
Taste of Sonar
a few years ago at the Roundhouse - midway through the night was MF Doom's first UK performance and the place was rammed to capacity. When he finished, virtually everybody left. Matthew Herbert did a Techno DJ set to about 200 people I'd guess? By the time I left midway through Roska's set, there were maybe 20 people left in the cavernous environs of the Roundhouse.
Don Cabellero in 2008
Oxford Regal, 1000 capacity, at most 50 people there.
Damon Che got more and more pissed and more and more aggressive, all rather uncomfortable
i saw the lapse open the radio 1 tent at leeds festival on the first day
i recall there being less than 10 people there. it was like 11am.
I was at that! they were great tbf
also they'd wrecked their van on the way to Reading if memory serves
that is correct
and i think they were getting dripped on as well. what a band <3
micah p hinson at cambridge junction 2 a few years ago
think there were about 5 people there
Was that in 2008?
I was there, there were much more than 5 (and much more than the aforementioned Mark Eitzel gig in the same venue)
Sleepy Sun at Junktion 7 in Nottingham. To maybe 4 or 5 other people.
Twas the only time I went to Junktion 7, and it smelt really strongly of gone-off chicken.
Anyway, the band had a well received and ATP promoted debut album, and had come all the way over from San Francisco, only to find the small crowd dissipate when the support finished.
Pretty good gig though.
Oh yeah, and Frog Eyes at a club night with 2 other people watching
Pretty odd booking for the downstairs room of an 'indie vs dance!!' disco.
Were you one of the other 2 people leaning on the barrier, alongside me and my mates?
Was insane how much Carey Mercer put into it considering the non-existant crowd. I had full respect for that
the other one must've been me
that was a good gig... but terrible terrible booking
Kubicek - Birmingham Bar Academy
It was at the time when we were young enough and stupid enough to get the train from Worcester to Birmingham after school and watch any band we'd ever heard of.
It was a freezing tuesday night in December and the crowd comprised the three members of the support band, us four and a weird bloke who even knew the words to songs that they'd never played before. We didn't really know any of their songs and it was all a bit awkward but the frontman wrote me a note explaining why I hadn't done my homework for the next day, and their set was alright, I suppose.
Japandroids at King Tuts this year was a poor crowd..
Shame really as it was a great gig.
oh man, another one I nearly went to
just assumed it would be rammed - popular indie band in one of the most popular indie venues around ... they got a really good crowd at Primavera as well, which was only like 3 days later
Ikara Colt
At the Tunbridge Wells Forum - there must have been 15 people milling around...Great band and a fantastic set, just a crime it was so deserted.
Also Imperial Teen at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA. It was 2000 and just after their winter tour with Hole/Marilyn Manson had been canned. Probably no more than 30 people there. Made sense I suppose as the tour was so hastily organised. That line in 'You're One' - "We played a show and no-one came/ We played and played it all the same" - was pretty well received by all of us in attendance!amyblue this'd this
Sleigh Bells - Edinburgh
During the fringe this year I saw that they were playing before going to leeds festival (etc) I think around 35 people max in Liquid Rooms
what the fuck?
I mean, I can understand nobody going to a gig of some bad indie band in a provincial town. But a super hyped (and very popular) US band? Mental.JaguarPirate this'd this
that's pretty mental
pretty big band, promoting their second album. headlining(?) stage at reading/leeds
must have been a properly shit promoterKnightboat and JaguarPirate this'd this
TBH It wasn't Sleigh Bells fault
They just got lost in all the other shows around the Fringe in August and they played Glasgow the night before
I was quite surprised as they are quite a big band that if booked around another time would see more people. As I get old I would admit that bands of smaller size would probably draw a bigger crowd in Glasgow.
Lily Allen had to downsize from 2500 to a dingy venue years ago so It just depends but from a band's POV it would be wiser to play Glasgow
Plus Edinburgh crowds can be really unpredictable
did you go to the Grimes show there around the same time? I missed basically everything I wasn't involved in running so I have no idea if that was busy either.
I was going to go but fell on a work day
plus I can't take her serious after the hipster runoff articles which take the utter
piss out of her. on the other hand i'm thinking about seeing Saint Etienne with
Scritti Politti supporting in Dec @ liquid rooms
interesting to see if that will be well attended
haha, that's partly as well why I didn't go
Tom Sawyer-core :D
I imagine it will be? I think there's a good aging indie set here. The Wedding Present show the other week was pretty packed out.
The Glasgow show
was a rearranged date after they canceled the originally scheduled show a few months earlier. Dunno if that would explain anything.
It was a really bloody good gig though
Felt so sorry for the support act, there was just about nobody there for them. I suppose though, the tickets said 7.30 or something, and Sleigh Bells were on by 8:30, done by 9:30, which is odd!
I was sent to review at pair of jazz guitarists
at the Edinburgh Festival one year. I was the only person there, and they knew there was a reviewer coming. I went to sit in the second row and they asked me to move to the first row. All I remember thinking during the first song was, "Do I clap at the end of this, or just say 'well done'?" They were nice chaps and they gave me a CD at the end. God knows if anyone went to see them at their second show.
Also, I went to see Hyde + Beast (Dave off of The Futureheads' side-project) at The Harley in Sheffield this year and I counted 18 people in the audience. Four of them had been in the support band. Shame too, because the gig itself was class.
saw 'em open(!) for a friends band right before that debut came out. literally nobody watching them play despite impressive light show, stage fog, the whole bit. dragged a stool down to the front, parked myself stage center and enjoyed what I imagined to be my own personal gig. they thanked me afterwards.
Tellison and Tubelord in Cardiff
One of about 6 people. Me and another Girl were the only ones stood up. Horribly awkward for all involved.
Saw Ultrasound last night in York
If you take away the people who had come down with the support bands there were maybe 10 people there to actually see them, just to add insult to injury the drummer was horrendously ill and they had to cut the set short (looked like he kept going off-beat in the first few songs as he was trying not to hurl). I'd waited 14 years to see them too :(
York gigs in general tend to be horribly poorly attended, I've seen a Napoleon III gig where the teenagers who had come to see their mates in the second support band gradually filtered out during his set, leaving just my mate (the first support act) and I by the end, also saw Snow Patrol (2nd album tour) play to about 20 people here
The Bristol gig after they reformed
was really badly attended as well. They didn't look happy. They're back in February for more though, so I hope more people turn up.
Sad really, as their new album is actually way better than the first. I don't say that lightly - the debut should have been a single album and have included Best Wishes and I'll Show You Mine, then it would have been a classic.chris_81 this'd this
Liars in Cambridge
This was just a few weeks ago, about 30 people in a fairly large venue, 10 of whom I knew. Shame, as the performance was great, seriously intense.
That's ridiculous!
Those guys are huge now.
If that's true for Liars,
how can people make a living out of music these days?!!
The Mae Shi in Belfast, during the HLLLYH tour
Maximum of 30 people in a venue whose capacity is at least ten times that. If i IIRC correctly i was the only person who was actually on the ticket list!
One of the best gigs i've attended.
Was it their joing tour with Johnny Foreigner?
Sponsored by DiS too! The York gig was sparsely attended (I sense a theme developing...) but both bands absolutely bossed it
I was disappointed I missed that
I heard good things
port o'brien at sheffield university
around about 25-30 people there. they were very good - given how 'all we could do was sing' was quite highly acclaimed it was a surprise to see so few people there!
There was an LCDMF gig the other week that only me and my friend attended
still put on a show
Saw the Futureheads play to about 8 people in Birmingham once
John renbourn in my hometown.
Myself, John renbourn and a few people that booked him. I arrived early and after he finished his sound check he sat at my table and I couldn't work up the courage to talk to him. He played for a 3 hours, the greatest thing I have ever seen.
Anti-Pop Consortium
at Stereo in Glasgow a couple of years ago, maybe 25-30 folk in? They'd just played ATP I think.
I also saw Big Boi
play in the bar at the Academy in Glasgow to maybe 150 people, maybe less maybe a bit more (I'm assuming it was supposed have been booked into the main room as it'd be really weird to book a show in the bar of the Academy). It was aff the scale good though.
Saw Sucioperro twice
at the tunbridge wells forum to approx. 12 people.
Loads over the years
Most memorable -
We supported Jeniferever in a AWFUL toilet venue in Sheffield that doesn't even exist anymore. Literally about eight people there. I remember sat on the floor watching em. Absolutely stunning.
Saw Mew supporting Ok Go at the Leadmill. Ok Go stood and watched Mew at the back of the room next to me and said they wished they didn't have to follow em. About fifteen in the room when they were on.
I saw the Bristol date on that tour
and it was rammed!
When I saw Handsome Furs a few years ago there were probably only between 10 and 20 people there
and me and my friend, and possibly some of the others, had won the tickets in a pub quiz. They didn't seem to mind at all and seemed genuinely thankful for any of us having turned up at all though.
Mate's gig
where it was me, his bandmates wife and parents and friend of the third bandmember there. Someone wandered into the pub in teh second half and and sat as far away as he could, fairly modest band but kinda felt for him
Editors - The Villa, Bournemouth
My friend and I walked in without paying. There were less than 10 people present counting us and a few bar staff.
This was just after Munich was released.
At a dot-to-dot festival i saw a German band Warren Suicide
they were really good and I am a fan but there must have been about 6 people including myself upstairs in The Bodega Social
I was one of those 6. I can remember a frantic PR outside trying to beg random people in off the street. They were supposed to play much earlier but had to reschedule to 3am or something, and the Social was the other end of town to the other venues.
The Go-Betweens, way back in the day, when they were a 3-piece
Small pub, Sunday evening, a few people eating dinner and some of them were visibly pissed off that a band was about to play & ruin their conversation. I'd never heard of them, and to tell the truth they weren't all that great, but I did like the way they won over the crowd and turned it into less of a "gig" than a bunch of friends jamming at your (small, sparsely-attended) party. Robert Forster was asking people to give them a topic and they'd play a song about it.
My band played a gig in the late 80s
which was an end-of-year party for an art college. It was held in a big warehouse full of final-year artworks, lots of cool sculptures & installations, and maybe 200 people milling about, all very art-studenty and attitudinous. We were up first, supporting the headlining band, and within about five songs we'd emptied the place. The other band were fucking pissed off.
brutal truth in glasgow
played to maybe 15 people.
saw Napalm Death to play to about the same size crowd in Bradford.
One of my friends attempted a stage dive. Didn't end well.
craziest i can remember
is st vincent at wireless festival with full band. only 12 of us watching. great lineup that was- kanye, q-tip, young jeezy and ratatat too, all of whom had many more people watching. later that summer, see st vincent at route du rock with a big audience and think it was a solo show, maybe 1 other musician. funny contrast, the hyde park show was much better.
Sloan at Max M Fisher Music Center, Detroit, about 2004
I think there were about 10 people there. I felt really bad for them. You could tell after awhile they wanted to pack it in. Too bad, cuz they are brilliant.
Frightened Rabbit in Dundee
Must have been a couple of weeks after The Midnight Organ Fight, they'd played a rammed Oran Mor the night before in Glasgow. About 15 people turned up. When they played a Freshers week event at Dundee Uni about 5 months later you couldn't move and I've since heard Scott say that Freshers gig is one of their favourites. The difference a Summer can make...
Fool's Gold at Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh
Total of about 8 people. Tiny venue (100 capacity) but there were as many people on stage as in the crowd. Absolutely phenomenal gig though
when was that?
August 2010
Was part of the Edge Festival. Terrible support as well
oh man I was going to go to that gig as well
Sounds sad, they would be so great in a full, up-for-it room
Jonah Matranga
Only had about 30 at Ruby Lounge in Manchester a couple of months ago. A real shame as he did amazingly good versions of Mother Mary and Be Quiet and Drive.
in their tour film at a show in Germany one person turns up. one
Such a shame they were underappreciated.
Seafood@The Leadmill
about 20/30 people. Awwwwwww.....
Was good though
Errors @ The Fleece, Bristol
It was on Valentine's Day this year. I don't know how many people were there but it was not many, probably around 70? They deserved more, they absolutely killed it.
Melvins at Newcastle Riverside
it was 96 or 97, and they were touring Stag. In total there must have been about 15 of us at the gig. Buzz did not look happy, but then again I suspect he never does. It was awesome.
Saw Cosmic Psychos play the Riverside
around '92 or '93. 15 people there at most, about ten of which were obviously mates of the support band cos they left the minute they stopped playing.
Was the Psycho's first gig of a European tour after arriving from Australia, but if they were in any way gutted they didn't show it; played an absolute blinder, stepped off the stage into the crowd at the end and bought everyone left a beer!
Mclusky, Upstairs at the Garage
Shortly before or after they released Rice is Nice, I think. Supporting Union Kid who never made it because of that year's petrol strikes. I think there might have been 10 people there if I'm generous.
Still, they were stunning.
Also, saw Chesney Hawkes play Luminaire two or three years ago. I think there might have been 50 people there. He wasn't at all grumpy about the turnout, just ripped the piss out of himself a lot, and was actually a bit of a dude. 10 points to Chezzer.
Leeds Festival two years ago
The first band on the NME stage one of the days, not Rolo Tomassi, one of the other two. About 15 people there, they laughed it off at first but it was sad to see their slow decline as they gradually got more and more pissed off and ended up with the singer ranting at the people who had turned up, most of whom were sat down at the back of the front section. I cried
Not band, but I once saw Rob Newman performing
at the Swindon Arts Centre. There was about 12 people in the audience - it was pretty embarrassing really.
He took it well though. He made a few jokes at the beginning like, are you sure you don't want your money back and then I can piss off to Bristol and have a night off - stuff like that.
kurt vile/war on drugs in bristol
you know in the thekla there's two benches on opposite sides of the room? i was lying down on one bench, alone, two girls sat together on the other bench. nobody else on the floor or at the bar. 3 people.
then towards the end a few guys turned up and started shouting COME ON PLAY A FEW MORE when the 30 minute set ended
the singer replies "no. bye" and they went home
Regarding the guarantees that band's get paid...
Do a touring band still get paid their guarantee if only like 5 people turn up?!
- pip_ this'd this
Not the bands
fault if only 5 people turn up, just bad booking or promotion.
- andyvine and Gashwrecker this'd this
Standout that comes to mind....
Biffy Clyro playing the Hi-Dive in Denver (Puzzle tour) maybe 35-40 people tops. Si gave me his set list after the show as they were breaking down their stuff and I got a drumstick handed to me from Ben, got swag signed, etc etc. They were so appreciative for the lot that DID show up. Total class!
Mclusky in York (oh COME ON)
They were booked to headline some awful 4-band uni band-soc night which the organiser didn't bother doing any promotion for, about 50 students turned up to see their mates play and mostly buggered off after, plus about five of us to actually watch Mclusky. Turned into an utter treat as it was basically 45 minutes of a visibly riled Falco tearing into the promoter, the shit bands on earlier & students in general, plus John frequently using his bass as a pogo stick
Foot Village in Cardiff
About 10 minutes before they started there must have been 5 of us stood by their kits looking nervous, it was an intimidating prospect. Maybe 5-10 others showed up by the time they started and it was an incredible set.
put that one on didn't I
think Shitmat earlier that year just about undercut it for least number of paying customers for anything I/we promoted. there were four or five other decent/vaguely competing shows in the area that night which is very unusual for somewhere the size of Cardiff.
Foot Village came back last year and played to more people and were rad again
Cardiff is strange for clashes, there can be nothing worth seeing for weeks or months and then 2 or more on the same night, maybe everywhere is like that.
Your gigs have always the best in Cardiff anyway, it's a shame there aren't more good promoters around now.
Frightened Rabbit at The Brudenell in Leeds
just after Midnight Organ Fight, I was shocked at how few people were there, can't have been more than twenty. Felt bad for them as they clearly deserved a hell of a lot more.
Do you mean the April 2008 gig?
Which also had Pulled Apart By Horses and Sky Larkin on the bill (crazy good line-up!) and it was FREE!!
As I remember that having a decent crowd, but not sure if they played there before then.
Just dug my old ticket out to find out
it was September 2008, they were supported by We Were Promised Jetpacks. Maybe everyone who wanted to see them had seen them in April?
Yeasayer in Leeds Cockpit
to be fair it was actually an Assembly Now gig but they were kicked off the bill for not soundchecking so Yeasayer were the headline act and they played to about ten people. This was around the time of All Hour Cymbals, and to be fair they were really good they still gave it everything
yeah they played to the same amount in Nottingham on that tour
still a wonderful set
The Belfast show on that tour got cancelled
go in to more detail
about this band being kicked off the bill... I'm intrigued!
as far as i remember...
they just turned up too late to soundcheck and the Cockpit refused to let them play. I think that's what happened anyway. Yeasayer were still amazing though, first time I'd ever seen a band play to a crowd that small.
Union of Knives
in some venue in Birmingham i cant remember, just over 10 i'd say
i felt really bad for them, got me and my friend to go stand right at the front, love that album
Great album!
I miss that band.
Their last tour they played ABC in Glasgow, it wasn't very busy and as a result the sound was pretty awful. Sad really, great band deserved a better send off. Was good to see that the rest of the shows on the tour were well attended and the crowds seemed to go mental.
I think the thing with that was it was meant to be a "big" tour rather than a final tour
Hence them doing that show and nothing in Edinburgh.
I went to Newcastle instead. Was mental, got kicked in the face and afterwards my glasses looked were roughly /-shaped
Primordial Undermind and Thought Forms in Birmingham last year
played to about 10 people in the 200 capacity Hare & Hounds, most of which were the other band members, which was a massive shame as they were both really good. Most other times they'd have pulled a reasonable crowd (Thought Forms went down well in Brum at Supersonic in 2009) but it was an odd August Monday after a load of other stuff had been on over the weekend.
Not sure of exact numbers
but Magic Hour @ The Garage in the mid-90's had a really poor turnout (20 or so?), probably not helped by being their 3rd gig in London in a week. That was probably beat by The Leaving Trains @ the George Robey, sometime in the late-80's/early 90's, which had something like 13 people there, a couple of whom I didn't know at the time, but became friends years later.
The AMOS Inbetween Days in 2010 was really odd too
we only did the Monday after the Godspeed! Nightmare but it was completely dead, very eerie. Shame as the music was brilliant (Cave, White Hills, Hallogallo etc). God knows what it was like on the other days.
Depreciation Guild at Captain's Rest in Glasgow
a few years ago. About 6 people including me and my two mates.
Stephen Malkmus at The Engine Rooms in Cardiff
Must have been about 25 people there. Was back when the drummer from The Decemberists was one of the Jicks on the Pig Lib tour. The even came back out and did an encore of Jenny & The Ess-Dog with everyone playing the wrong instrument whilst the drummer re-enacted the song in a literal fashion throught the medium of mime.
As they finished, Malkmus hopped off the stage towards the crowd yet no-one seemed to want to talk to him. As he walked through I said hi and he stopped a while for a chat. Felt bad for him, though from a selfish perspective was still a great show!
Maria Minerva in San Francisco
Somewhere between 30 and 40 people there. Good show.
I have two....
First was Dj Shadown in Liverpool Uni on the Outsider tour. He had already sold out two Manchester dates then decided to announce a Liverpool one - there was about 30 of us there but it was one of the best gigs ever, everyone was really into it and Shadow seemed to have an amazing time. Met him afterwards and he was really into the show.
Also, !!! had announced a Liverpool date after the others had gone on sale so they played in a Stanley Theatre (400 cap) to around 25 of us on a sunday night halloween a couple of years ago. Apparently the promoters tried to pull it but the band still wanted to play it. The singer spent the whole time in the crowd dancing with everyone individually. They then came on for the encore dressed in leather and done a cover of Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood which they said were 'The best band to come from Liverpool' - It was an amazing show! Fair play to em...
I was at that DJ Shadow gig
was ace indeed but definitely more than 30 people, I'd say less than a 100 definitely though. It was pretty empty as they drew the curtain across half the room. Got a signed poster somewhere
Johnny Flynn supported by Mumford and Sons at Exeter Cavern in 2008
About 20 of us. I know we all laugh at Mumfords these days, but it was one of their first ever live shows, and you could hear a pin drop from the start of their set to the end. I was blown away, to be honest (please don't shoot me). Johnny was great, too.
Then Mumfords opening The Park Stage at midday that year and there were about three of us.
Future of the Left at the Wedgewood Rooms
Couldn't have been more than 40-50 people there. Shame as it was a great show.
The Irrepressibles at The Cluny, Newcastle
In terms of attendance it was really low, probably around 15 people. But it was an amazing gig.
The support band (Noblesse Oblige) was good. The Irrepressibles were amazing. At first I felt like crying a bit - both because of how beautiful it was, but also the fact that there weren't more people there..something about true beauty/art going by almost unnoticed. But for the few people there, it was an incredible gig. After the concert I started thinking that maybe this is how it's supposed to be sometimes. Some things are meant to be hidden and appreciated by few.
(I heard that other stops in their tour however had much higher attendance)
Hot Club De Paris at Cab Vol, Edinburgh
Not nearly as bad as some of these stories, but the only one I've got. I'd missed them playing Edinburgh twice before and was determined to go and see them this time. Turns out it wasn't really a proper gig - it was just bands put on before the club night they were having afterwards. Cab Vol also has two rooms, so people were constantly traipsing across the middle of the gig space just to get to the other room. As a result the room, even though it look full, probably only had like 40 people who were genuinely just there for HCDP. Sad in a way, but they were fun and good-natured, as I imagine they always are
Yet another InBetween Days example
Went to the last night of between Godspeed and B&S, despite having been at Godspeed and not going to B&S. At one point it was supposed to be Corrupted playing, instead Urfaust came over specially from Germany and YOB flew in from Oregon just for that one show.
10 people were there, maybe? There were another 3 or 4 early for B&S that turned up to watch Moon Duo and left during them.
Lots of poorly attended shows at the Cube in Bristol on my card as well - David Grubbs, Mount Eerie (might have been The Microphones, was just as Mount Eerie the album had come out and Phil was changing the name) and David Thomas (out of Pere Ubu) with around 50, and a Brother Danielson show (tree costume and all) which had more Cube staffers there than paying customers.
YOB at IBD
I just remembered, there were so few people there Mike came down and hugged everyone in the audience after the show.

April Microsoft Updates
Well, it's that time of the month again; the second Tuesday of the month (well yesterday anyway), and Microsoft has some updates that you need to make sure you have installed. A critically rated vulnerability, as you may remember form other articles, is the highest level of severity given to a vulnerability and it should be dealt with immediately.
With that in mind, it has been a busy 30 days for the software giant (Microsoft), as three critically rated Internet Explorer and general Windows flaws have been exposed. All of these flaws allow an attacker to execute remote code through these flaws, potentially taking control of the end-user's PC. There is also an important rated flaw pertaining to Outlook Express, as well as, a moderately rated vulnerability for FrontPage (Web design program) server extensions. All of these are risks I think most of you don't need to worry about, but it doesn't hurt to let you know about them.
I would hope that most of you have your Windows set to at least warn you of the New Windows Updates. If you are unsure, you can check this by right clicking on "My Computer" and selecting the Automatic Updates tab. Here you will see all of your Windows update settings. Since this update requires a reboot, you should notice an alert that pops up telling you that you have updates that require a restart in order to take effect. After a reboot, your system will be patched and these critical vulnerabilities will be thwarted.
Below, I have created a simple table of links out to Microsoft Bulletins regarding the critically rated vulnerabilities. If you would like some more specific information, check them out.
Bulletin Identifier
Bulletin Title
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-013:
This is actually a cumulative patch covering a number of critical vulnerabilities including the newly discovered address bar spoofing vulnerability that is pretty scary.
|Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (912812)
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-014:
This is a vulnerability in the RDS.Dataspace ActiveX control, which can allow an attacker to execute remote code and take complete control of your system.
|Vulnerability in the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) Function Could Allow Code Execution (911562)
Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-015:
This is a Shell vulnerability that affects users who visit specially crafted Web sites. It allows an attacker to execute remote code by taking control of the user's system.
|Vulnerability in the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) Function Could Allow Code Execution (911562)
So, remember to make sure you have April's updates, because they are no joke. Until next week, stay safe out there.

Evening folks,
A quick hello to fellow divers and photographers. Work as a wedding photographer but my first passion is with nature (especially the wet kind). Try to get away to dive when I can and love taking the camera down with me.
On the Nikon/sea & sea trail for gear and looking to upgrade so I can take the D800 down.
Absolutely love admiring other photographers work and sharing tips and experiences.
Hopefully will be able to post some new photos soon.

I have mentioned before that I spend 30 minutes each week reading to first graders in a school near our home.
I thought of those little guys as I was driving across country last weekend—after I heard the horrible, horrible news about the shootings in Newtown, Connecticut.
I thought about the big smiles that always greet me when I walk into their room and how they wave to me as they gather around the rocking chair where I sit and read.
I recalled how eager they always are to learn about a new book or to listen again to one they've heard before. I thought about the wonder I see in their eyes when they learn something new about an earthworm, a spider or a whale. I remembered how they laugh when I read them one of the silly books they like the best. I remembered how they always look forward to the latest antics of Tacky the Penguin, perhaps their very favorite.
And I am always amused by how eager they are to participate, raising their hands to tell me what they liked about a book or how silly it is for a duck to ride a bicycle. And they just want to share things—what their little sister did or how they spent their weekend. And one little boy once asked me," Where do you get your socks?"
I am always impressed at how quietly they sit—well mostly, they are first graders after all—and how well-behaved and respectful they are. I'm impressed with how patient and gentle their teacher is. With a look or a gentle reminder she gets them to sit straight, cross their legs and take their turns.
They always say, in unison, "Thank you, Mr. Smith, for reading to us." And I always thank them for being such a good audience. The last time I read to them they had Christmas cards for me—the ones made out of construction paper and crayons with pictures of Christmas trees and jingle bells and some with a somewhat elderly man sitting in a rocking chair reading a book; some add hearts; they all, in first grade scrawls and sometimes creative spellings, tell me how much they enjoy my books and what a nis (sic) person I am for reading to them.
Sometimes, after I finish reading, one will give me a high five or hug me and say thanks.
I thought about how I never leave that classroom without a smile on my face and a warm place in my heart. I used to think I was doing this for the children, but after four years I realize who receives the greatest benefit.
These are sweet kids, six-year-old children. And I can't begin to understand how anyone could hurt them. And Friday I thought about them. I could see them all, sitting, listening, laughing; and I understood that they were the same kids that were harmed in Newtown. And if I knew how to make sure that something that heinous never happens to these little guys, I'd certainly do it. Whatever it took.
But as I drove across country last Friday, about all I could do was bite down on my lower lip to keep from crying. It didn't work.

New professional building breaks ground in Broken Bow
Monday was a special day for Chris Pearson and members of his family - the day it was announced his family's legacy will live on. Ground was broken on the west edge of Broken Bow in a noon ceremony Monday for the new Lomax Professional Building. The building was designed by Chris, initially to provide office space for his wife, Becky. Becky is the owner/operator of Pearson Physical Therapy, PC in Broken Bow. Her office is temporarily located in Deb Bryner's former embroidery shop on 9th Avenue, pending completion of the new building. The professional building is being built on property which has been in Chris's family for more than 100 years. Virtually all the property on the west edge of Broken Bow, on both sides of the highway from the location of the new building to the curve to the west, and south to the tree dump, was homesteaded by Chris's great-grandparents, the Lomax family. The family retained ownership of that property until 1990, with this piece of land remaining family owned. Until recently, the house where Chris grew up stood on the property. The house has been moved off so construction on the new building could begin. Besides Pearson Physical Therapy, PC, other space in the building has already been leased to several businesses. Solomon Family Dentistry will inhabit the west end of the building, while Nolan and Julie Hueftle and American Family Insurance - Jane Duda, will also relocate their offices to the building. Speech therapist Christy Gaffney will share office space with Becky. Chris says there is still about 400 square feet of space that is unspoken for, and he hopes to have that filled by the time the building is completed. Depending on the weather, he hopes to have the building finished and offices operational by late fall.

Intel CEO Paul Otellini on Windows 8 x86 and Windows 8 ARM: "We have the advantage of the incumbency, advantage of the legacy support. Not just in terms of applications but devices." Yes, because the lack of their favourite Windows applications was really a massive hurdle for Apple and its ill-fated iPad effort from a few years ago. Anyone remember that thing?

|100 μg
|Add to Basket/Quote Add to Notepad
For in vitro use only!
Shipping: shipped on blue ice
Storage Conditions: store at -20 °C
avoid freeze/thaw cycles
Shelf Life: 12 months
Purity: > 95 % (SDS-PAGE, RP-HPLC)
Form: liquid (Supplied in PBS pH 7.8, NaCl, DTT and urea)
May be used in ELISA and Western blots, excellent antigen for early detection of HIV seroconvertors with minimal specificity problems.
The protein contains the full-length sequence of HIV-1 glycoprotein gp41. The protein was purified by proprietary chromatographic technique.
Background: HIV belongs to the retrovirus family, distinguished by possession of a viral reverse transcriptase that transcribes viral RNA into DNA which is integrated into the host-cell genome. The outer envelope is acquired during virion budding and is studded with spikes formed by the two major viral-envelope glycoproteins (the surface protein gp120 and the transmembrane protein gp41). The central core contains four viral proteins (p24 - the major capsid protein, p17 - a matrix protein, p9, and p7), two copies of the HIV RNA genome (to which p7 and p9 are bound), and three viral enzymes (reverse transcriptase, integrase, and protease) essential for viral replication.
Specificity: Immuno reactive with all sera of HIV-I infected individuals.

Residents provide ideas for city's future
The City of Mexico is in the process of updating its comprehensive plan, and a community meeting held Thursday at the Audrain County 4-H Center, produced a broad range of ideas that local citizens believe will make Mexico a better place to live, grow and develop as a whole.
A comprehensive plan is the principal tool that provides a broad-based framework, outlining a municipality's course of action for the future. The Comprehensive Plan Update of Mexico will become the city's official statement to be utilized to make informed decisions to guide development, redevelopment, set forth policies, plans and programs.
Thursday's meeting attracted 75 or more local residents, business owners, educators, city and county elected officials, and welcomed consultants of the Hoefer Wysocki architecture firm out of Kansas City that was hired to assist the city in its planning process.
"A comprehensive plan is policy, not regulatory," explained Brian Hamilton, director of urban design and planning for Hoefer Wysocki. "Your input tonight is very valuable, and will help navigate the process of the plan."
Hamilton, along with Troy Nash, a representative of Zimmer Real Estate Services of Kansas City and John K. Forrester with Olsson Association out of Springfield, met as a team with members of the Mexico City Council in December to introduce themselves and discuss their plan of action. The city council's main focus at that time was transportation, housing, public facilities and infrastructure, parks and recreation, downtown restoration and preservation of natural resources and the environment.
Some of the community aspirations voiced Thursday were similar to the council's focus, with a few added desires. Following are the public's responses to the question "In a perfect world, Mexico would be a community that:
• is abundant with jobs
• is a regulated health-care center of choice
• pushes for growth economically
• meets its goals and is equal with other communities
• has better hotels, restaurants, retail and commercial businesses, and more positive attitudes.
• has better parks, hospitals and schools
• has better coordination of tax initiatives
• restores the middle class
• people want to do business with, and that other communities want to do model after
• promotes church as a priority for families
• has children that want to remain in the community
• honors the past, but not dwell in it
• has curb appeal and
• is a destination
Hamilton said all of the aspirations mentioned are "achievable." However, he warned that comprehensive plans are not "magic bullets."
"Nothing good comes easy. You must be patient. A project like this goes way beyond planting trees," he said. The three-legged stool in creating a good comprehensive plan, he noted, "is people, planet and profit."
Hamilton said the planning process will engage the community through a series of public forums and web-based participation tools to allow citizens to have the opportunity to participate in shaping the future of Mexico.
"Tonight we begin our journey, and your input will give us a bigger perspective of what you want to achieve," he said.
The Hoefer Wysocki group plans to take the information gathered at the Thursday night meeting and create a draft plan. Then in April or March, the group will return to Mexico and hold an open house meeting to discuss the city's alternatives.
"We will put together a draft plan that meets the community's aspirations," Hamilton promised the crowd. Meanwhile, he suggested that the community "think about how they can be good stewards for the next generation and how they can make the future strong."
Hamilton said things that influence a good plan are globalization, immigration, education, entrepreneurship and innovation.
"No plan means anything if we don't recognize all of the influences," he said. Hamilton encouraged the crowd to dream "beyond the status quo."
A link on the city's website invites questions and includes exercises to get reactions.
For more information, visit the website www.EnvisionMexico.org. In a video attached to the link, Mexico Mayor Ron Loesch thanks the city for its efforts in working on the comprehensive plan and says "We have made a commitment to evaluate our strengths, our weaknesses and explore opportunities for our future. We need to take a step back from our day-to-day routines and take steps towards envisioning where our community should be in the next ten years and beyond."

Why Should You Switch to LED?
LED pool lights are environmentally friendly lights that will save you tremendously on costs over time.
LED pool lights range anywhere from 30-90 watts compared to 300-500 watts for a standard incandescent or halogen bulb. Yet, the LED lights also provide the same brightness as the incandescent or halogen bulbs.
You save on your energy bill because you are running less wattage and those savings can range up to $200 a year depending on how often the light is on, possibly saving more than $200.
The LED bulb can last up to 10 years longer than the average incandescent or halogen bulb, saving you on parts and labor.
Color LED lights also provide many different colors and light shows, and can be synchronized with an automation control system.
Please give us a call if you have any questions about the functions of an LED pool light or what size length cord you need for your pool or spa.

Morristown-based Covanta Energy announced today it has appointed Bradford J. Helgeson executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective immediately.
According to the announcement, Helgeson has been Covanta's vice president and treasurer since 2007, and previously held senior financial positions at Waste Services Inc., a publicly-traded environmental services company with operations in the U.S. and Canada, and worked in investment banking with Lehman Brothers and Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette.
Helgeson will replace Sanjiv Khattri, who will be actively assisting in the transition "prior to moving on to his next endeavor," chief executive Anthony Orlando said in a statement.

I'm trying to get over my ex-girlfriend who cheated on and dumped me. I've done so by cutting her out of my life completely, defriending her on Facebook, the whole shebang. But I still think about her constantly. And I've taken to writing her letters, but not sending them, as a way to cope with the urges I have to contact her. Is it helpful to have an outlet or am I just reinforcing my obsession with her? ~Reluctant Scribe
Maybe a little of both. But that's okay. We all cope with loss in different ways. The only important thing is that you stick to your goal of not contacting her until you've successfully rid her from your system. You're doing the work. You're getting there. Just don't let these mini-therapy letters turn you into some Ryan-Gosling-in-The-Notebook crazypants. Writing is incredibly cathartic, but don't let it turn into a crutch. If you find that you're using your words to fixate instead of heal, then Ur Doin It Wrong. Example of wrongness: If you are listing all the ways this girl was your everlasting soul mate and why oh why can't she see how amazeballs you are.
If that doesn't sound like you? Great. You're probably fine then. Sometimes the best person to converse with is yourself, especially when your friends grow tired of your emo, Pete Wentz-ian ways. Realize that your life is ultimately better when you have good people who legitimately care about you in. As long as you know that, then you can pen as many unsent missives as you please.
Oh, you're a lesbian! Answer me this. What is roller derby, exactly? ~Anonymous
I'm pretty sure Drew Barrymore already solved (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172233/) this baffling conundrum. But fine. If memory serves, "roller derby" is one of many excuses lesbians use to get drunk in the suburbs during the daytime. Other leisurely lush activities include: kickball, brunch, and attending a Unitarian Universal church service.

Mesi Anpil!
The Hinche Scholars project was founded by Danny Yates, a William and Mary student who has travelled to Haiti several times as a guide and translator for Catholic churches in the Diocese of Richmond. On January 12, 2010, Danny was in Haiti when the tragic "seisme" ravaged this Caribbean nation. In Port-au-Prince, he witnessed firsthand the death, destruction, and unparalleled scope of this tragedy. Danny was particularly shocked by the indescribable level of catastrophic loss human and material in the government, university and medical sectors. As Haiti begins to "pick up the pieces," Danny and his team firmly believe that higher education is the only sustainable and successful path to recovery.
Now, more than four months since the earthquake, international and domestic Haiti experts agree that one of the country's greatest crises is the leadership void. Thousands of Haitian political leaders, doctors, nurses, NGO workers, engineers, attorneys, and college students perished on January 12. Nearly all of Haiti's universities were utterly demolished. Haitian leaders estimate it will take decades for the higher education system to return to pre-quake capacity. Ten years from now, Haiti will lack the next generation of leaders so desperately needed to rebuild.
Ever since Danny's return from Haiti in February, he has remained in daily phone and e-mail contact with numerous Haitian friends. Several community leaders have told him about a group of six displaced Haitian university students who were in Port-au-Prince when the quake hit, but are now back with their families in Hinche (roughly 50 miles north and east of PAP in the Plateau Central). Over the past three months Danny has worked to find an American higher education institution interested in accepting these students, so they can have a chance to continue their studies before returning to Haiti as leaders in the recovery process. His efforts were recently featured in the Richmond Times Dispatch on Sunday, March 19 (link below).
The Hinche Scholar students are studying at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College in Richmond, VA. We hope that you will join the host of bipartisan, ecumenical community leaders who have already endorsed and supported our project. They include William and Mary President Taylor Reveley, Richmond Mayor Dwight C. Jones, Former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, and Bishop Emeritus Walter Sullivan of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond. If you have any other questions, please contact us directly at 757-645-1975, or leave us a comment. Thanks your time and consideration.
