I will have to disagree with you Tyler. Gathering up promos and writing
thirty words about them in SNC does not constitute a huge contribution.

Don't know man, maybe I was too harsh. But I went to That's How It Is
to dance, not to listen to the newest promos in Wilcox's bag. The tunes
were ok, but the way he presented them to us was awful. No flow, no
mixing, amateurish scratching, weak overall. I couldn't dance or even nod
my head. Two thumbs down. It's a shame too cause the Bar Rumba is
a beautiful space to play in and Monday nights are still just three pounds.

Stealth On,
Alexees. ;)
