Yes man,

we will definitely keep it moving. Get these little situations worked out and keep things moving forward properly.
The heads are there, and people want it, we just have to find the balance :D
 
There is much detritus still clouding the smooth operation of this, well, haphazardly ran operation we call Juxtapose. With the quantity of talk about changing the night and subtle suggestions and or input voiced but not actually accounted for or acted upon, I am getting wary of the manifestation of any real change. THis is merely my opinion on the matter and would love to be proven wrong, however, the previous couple of weeks have only further propagated these negative harborizations. Furthermore, the responsibilities concerning booking, time-slots, and even funds all appear to be handled in a manner which is lackluster. I am present at the mel from earlier than nine every tuesday and proceed to stay past close to both set up and break down the equipment, (without assistance and compensation for equipment and time i might add).

Come on people, i cant do this by myself, and if steam hasn't been picked up soon i may have to distance myself from the perpetual negativity that seems to have spawned in the collective realm that is tuesday night.

I think we need to open the communications channels a bit. There are a lot of verbal agreements, but it never seems like the word gets from point A to point B. I've been promised one thing from one person, then no one seems to remember it later because nothing is set in stone. This is the issue. We all need to be on the same page or else we'll just be flapping in the breeze. I've offered to consolidate the communication in a private forum on indydnb.com or even set up a google group / email chain, but no one bit at that. I've offered to get some kind of a who's who on DJs (wiki-style) and get multiple links/mirrors to setlists/mixes but no one's bit there either.

It's pretty frustrating to see a lack of organization with so many people willing to help out. From what I gathered, Juxtapoze was supposed to be a democratic order of DJ's coming together for the benefit of the "scene", but so far it's anything but. No-shows on headliners without explanation, sudden day-before schedule conflicts, equipment setup/teardown/compensation, lack of lineups even a week in advance. Tuesday nights were supposed to be about bringing everyone back together, but I've seen little to no improvement.

Ever since Juxtapose started 1.5 months ago, I've been at every show and tried to do what I can to put my efforts into the ring, but getting absolutely nothing back out of it. I've skipped the last 2 weeks because of having to move, but I'm hoping we can get back on track for lineups and headliners for August. It's already Monday and there's no flier or lineup for tomorrow's show, which is exactly the problem keeping us from rising above the lazy stigma that's been attached to Tuesday nights for so long.

I know there are growing pains and that every good thing starts from a small seed, but it would be nice to see some effort put out by whoever's in charge (I still don't even know). Let's shake that nasty label Tuesday nights have been branded with and do this proper. Posting a lineup for tomorrow would be a nice start.
