If there are any SF listers left here... The latest casualty of the decline of the SF scene is the In'n Out. Kirk Harper has been running this monthly event for over three years, and has worked hard for many years promoting other events in the Bay Area. He has put on the In'n Out at a financial loss for a while and can't continue to do so. His decision to pull the plug at the end of the year is ultimately based on uneven/low attendance and a general apathy on the part of what's left of the SF scene. I've heard numerous complaints from SF mods about nothing to do, but when there is something to do everyone sits home and talks about 'the old days' or complains that this or that event isn't 'pure enough' or some other sectarian drivel. If people were to remember the 'old days', at least the ones I remember, we'd go to everything we possibly could. The other half of being a cool mod is about being on the go - you know, getting out and dancing and making thing 'happen' - not just posing in your mirror. Also, so what if the In'n Out is on a tuesday night - um, is that really that big of a challenge to people? We all get up and go to work the next day - take some ibuprofen or something if you're worried about a hangover. Drink coffee in the morning if you're worried about being tired. Anyone wanna argue about this? Go on... Yeah, I'm bitter about this. I've been doing this for 18 years and haven't lost a drop of enthusiasm. What's your story? Oh, and there's an In'n Out Nov. 7 - go to it...and tell friends - maybe Kirk'll change his mind. Michael Reilly ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
