Anthony of 7 Days Torn Where did you say you were headed for New Year's Eve? I'm headed down to Baltimore for a night on the town at the Vault with 7 Days Torn and Cypher. It was a tough decision, though... New Year's Eve is a packed night for local music. Please check out the Future and Current events section of the message board for loads of other New Year's entertainment options.

You can use this link to SEARCH for an event in the message board.

I suggest entering the number of the day that you're interested in (today is December 9, 2002, so I searched on 9) in the Search Words field, and then clicking on search. You may get more than you expected, but at least you won't be missing dates...

I appologize for the lack of updates to the web site. A few issues, like being the object of another rear-end accident, have taken up a good deal of my "free" time lately. I do have photos from a few events to format and post, so I beg of you your patience as I work to get them up. The following are the events yet to be posted (unless otherwise updated and noted):


Please take note of upcoming events in the message board...

I have ventured into the land of Flash for the first time. This is my very first Flash anything...a slide show of Volume 1 photos from Dewey Beach.

Clayton of Nothing But Oregano.Again I bring you somewhat disturbing news... After 8 years as a band member of Nothing But Oregano, Clayton (bass, vocals, and songwriting) has decided to leave the band. See the message board for the announcement and dates of his last shows with the band.

On a happier note, I'd like to thank 105.7 TheX for all that the station does for local music. If you're a rock music fan in the York, Harrisburg, or Lancaster PA area...and you aren't listening to TheX, give them a shot. If you're a band looking for opportunities to be heard by a radio station, check out http://www.1057thex.com for the Under The Radar program.

Note: Keep your eyes and ears open around November 27th for a CD release from a band called Texas Jerry. I'll post more about that sometime sober...er I mean later.

Be sure to check out the music conference events blossoming in the neighborhood in the very near future. Some of the deadlines are quickly passing, and you don't want to miss out on networking or just plain music innundation opportunities! I have created yet another forum on the message board dedicated to conferences and networking events...

Negative Space - October 4th, 2002 - Fat Daddy's, York, PA

Speaking of music conferences...there are some major conference developments going on.

Coming up quickly will be the Millenium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA. February 13-16, 2003. Registration prices will increase as the conference draws near, so making plans to attend now is not a bad idea... Website:http://musicconference.net .

And the IMC 2003, Independant Musicians Conference will take place in Philladelphia August 28th - 31st, 2003. I know that's a ways off, but registration deadlines for showcasing are coming up quickly, and you have the opportunity to have a say in how the conference is structured during the planning stages.
