11-29 HSF: As you have noticed I have been absent from this site for a little while. This is because I am finishing graduate school in a few weeks and things have gotten pretty hectic in my life. Hopefully at this time next week things will have settled down enough that I can return to normally scheduled programming. Until then, hang tight.
11-5 HSF: As a spinoff to this site I have started Hardcore Punk Misc. Instead of archiving show flyers I am archiving record ads and other miscellaneous items. There hasn’t been a lot of traffic yet, but I am hoping that will change soon.
10-26 HSF: We got a nice link this week on Brooklyn Vegan.
6-28 WPW: A link to my fall symposium notes can be found on the weblog.
5-23 HSF:There was three days earlier this week without flyers. Sorry about that! I had some issues on my end that have been resolved. In fact, this site will be undergoing a redesign over the holiday weekend. Expect a new theme, new sidebars, and a big announcement about another site I will be working on, which will be a spinoff of this one.
1-14 WPW: The spring version of the symposium weblog is now online. Right now, we are tentatively looking at having our spring conference sometime in middle to late April.
1-1 HSF: This site has now been open for six months. I thought I would offer some statistics, a little bit of news, and a call for contributions: So far we have 377 flyers on the site. At the half year mark, we are averaging about 50 separate visits and about 163 views during those visits per day. Which means when people come to the site, they stay and click around within the hundreds of tags on the site. The two flyers a day schedule will continue in 2008. A number of people have been enthusiastically asking if they can submit older flyers. For now, I would ask that you don’t. I still have about a thousand flyers to go through. I have enough older flyers to fill the site on our regular schedule for at least the next few years. More practically, I just don’t want to have to deal with sorting doubles and triples of flyers I already have…which is something I am already dealing with. I do, however, call for people to submit flyers for shows in 2008. I will be happy to add them almost immediately after I receive them. This will serve two purposes: the creation of an archive documenting the current hardcore scene and some further promotion for the show. So please send in new flyers! At one point or another in the future I may also start a podcast for the site. This is an idea still very much in its infancy. I think I might hold off until the summer when I will have a little more time to work on this. I will have an announcement about another unrelated podcasting project very soon.
