This is really too bad, I hope NOT COMMON remains around in some form... I've been to a lot of NC shows that were fun as hell, and I think the releases are solid enough to keep moving, hopefully to the point of the label coming back with more force. It's a shame about the festival, as I too expected a better turnout, and a lot of people missed out on some amazing sets... I think some of the criticisms in this thread ring true, not against Joe, but in general of the insular nature of this "scene" and the need to reach out to more people in order to get more people out to shows. I, for one, would get into more hall/basement shows, as long as the lineups are cool, which is way too rarely the case. It'd be good for the "bar bands" to get in front of the all ages crowds more (and the DIY/hall type bands certainly could benefit from playing in front of bar crowds as well).

Overall, I'm optimistic... There have been a handful of sell out shows at O'Brien's lately, I thought GRIEF got a great reception at the fest, there are a lot of good bands around here, there are new people willing to step forward and book shows... All signs point to lots of activity, no matter who's booking it.
