In The Loop: 2/26/08. Blog Options & Whatnot
Posted By Gavin Sheehan on February 26, 2008, 12:30 PM
This
weekend was a little enlightening. I’m officially convinced the views Counter is broken. In the course of taking pictures at
events I get asked what they’re for and why I’m there, and of
course I tell them and I find people are actually reading this blog.
When you have more people talking to you about your blog than you
have “counted visits”, you tend to get suspicious. Especially
after the response I got from interviewing Angela last week. So I’m
officially not going to pay attention to the traffic this blog gets
anymore because I know now the number attached to each post is fake. 
--- I tried sprucing up this blog a bit by adding to other
areas I apparently can fill with info, but to no avail. If you shift
your eyes to the right, you’ll see there’s a section called About
and another called Links. I didn’t have much to fill in the About
section, especially when I know no one really wants to know anything
about me. So that’s basic and barren. And the links section doesn’t
work! Which completely sucks because there are some people who
deserve a look who normally wouldn’t. If it ever works, I'll
let you know and I'll add more than what I tried to add
already. I’ve also started taking up my own personal art
project for my house. Everywhere I go I end up picking up a flyer or
a ticket or a business card or a CD or something from my visit. And
it’s made a nice pile on my desk that I don’t really want to
throw away. So I thought, what the hell, I might as well decorate my
walls in it. So I’m slowly framing this stuff and putting it up on
my Wall Of Shame. It’ll all go nice with my old rejection letters
from other stations. Yeah, that’s right, I framed those!
Switching
to underground stuff, Wendy Ohlwiler came on and performed on KUTV's
Saturday morning show with very intimate performance of “Yellow
Horn”. I don’t know if the web people will put her performance on
the website, but it was good to my ears. It’s nice to see us book
an underground artist who is actually doing something original as
opposed to trendy acts we’ve booked in the past. I hope we keep it
up. Took some photos of the SLUG film showing at Red Light
Books on Saturday but my schedule prevented me from being able
to stick around and see it. Can’t wait to get a DVD of it. As
usual, don’t really know what I’m going to this week, but then
again that’s the way it is every week. We’ll see what
happens.

ballot.
