Hey Oxenhoper... where did Kyle go? He missed our last gig and his profile says he's back home in NY sitting in his apartment. Hurry up and get back to Europe! We've got a show in Amsterdam on December 10th. Our show quality dropped one rank because we were missing our drummer.

Quick question:

Is it possible to schedule more than one show at once? For example, I have a show scheduled for 12/22, and I was just looking around an wanted to schedule a second show a couple days later(12/24)... can that be done?

You can shedule shows as far ahead as you want actually... it's only jam sessions that you can only book one at a time.

For example the show our drummer recently skipped to go back to NYC we've had planned for weeks :dunno: the onlt real issue becomes can you travel from one show location to the next in time for example we have another show planned tommorow that our drummer had best make it back for in Amsterdam ;)

Kris... since your health is good you should be able to get out if you set yourself to 'rest' and 'compose music' for a few updates. Also if someone in NYC can bring Demetrius some chocolates and a fancy meal or two you can probably get out sooner. Maybe Joe's Tyrone can help you out...

Of course the only way to get Floyd out would be if someone can bake a cake with a file in it ;)

I've cancelled putting Kyle's face on a milk carton as we's been located and on his way back to the tour ;)

Sounds good.

Minty: I still can't leave the hospital. I'm "sitting down on a chair" or something, it should be easy to just burst out of the door and run all the way home ;(

You can't leave the hospital until they release you... you'd be running throught he steets in just a hospital gown 8-) But they might let you out earlier if get some food to pump your mood up over the 20% mark... someone would have to bring it to you though. I would but I happen to be in Amsterdam at the moment ;)

Yeah, just be careful not to cross her in the game. The Dead Generation is mighty protective of April. :-D

Yeah, the boys always have April's back and she's pretty tough herself 8-) BTW if you look back a few pages I posted a link to a picture compiling all the source pics for the "new April" I switched to a while back. ;)

Glad to hear that you made it out of the hospital in time for the show... how long before Floyd gets out of the clink?

Popo seems to be up and running now... didn't check earlier when you guys were having issues though.

I get out of the slammer on Monday 18th :joy:

Our show was 'abysmal'! None of our playlist was rated above zero stars. 44 people came to the show and we raised $111.

Kris - you need to organise a lot of jam sessions to get our practice really high on all of our songs.

I'm not sure how effective jam session will be in boosting your percentages when you are in the clink archi :dunno: Also, you can only reach 100% when you all have jazz skill at 5 stars. TDG can only get their songs to something like 70% right now because of the same thing...

But hey, 'abysmal' is pretty good all things considered! =D>

Ahh... I thought I smelled something burning :-D Just reading messages in the Popo forums and found this from someone who actuall did a study for an It's Pop! article:
high IQ means you lose less mood points when skilling
So the harder your brain has to work the more it affects your mood; so since I raised my IQ to take the CEO job I haven't really noticed much of a mood drop from skilling... so it's soemthing to think about, especially for those of you still in the newbie points salad days.

There are no such things as "Free jam" now. The two places we used to jam in costs money now. And I have zero dinero.

Jam are paid for out of band funds so since you've done your show it will come out of the money you made from the show.
