  Me too, Meredith.

• a-drizzle05/14 11:38 AM

  agreed…

• eddie05/14 04:40 PM

  ^x3 sure your entitled to your opinion,but why are you 3 making a point to dis on this event, have you ever attended it? granted you should support what you like,why not leave it at that…you hipster douche bag types kill me sometimes grow a beard grab your tightest pants and move to williamsburg already.yes i am in one of these bands,the loners to be exact, and i’m sure you guys hate us and thats all good cause everybody has those things called taste and preference,but why use what you deem cool to rip on things you don’t even like , why go there?...i’m so uncool and confused.maybe you kids could enlighten me as to why i should like things i don’t really like.high school was along time ago and i wasn’t cool then either…enjoy artsplosure i’m sure you will.

• salley05/14 06:01 PM

  eddie i agree with you about ripping on things you don’t like- calling artsplosure “fartsplosure” included.

• Pepper05/14 09:29 PM

  If my calculations are correct, all of the artists and bands at Rebus Works (and Insplosure) are Raleigh based…..few, IF ANY, at Artspace are…. give your money to the local cause, not big bad voodoo not from Raleigh and some random artist from Colorado.

  let’s go back to our corners for a sec, I think some clarifications may help. Artsplosure is a big big event with music on Saturday and Sunday from a ton of un-relevant other-worldly bands EXCEPT for a few local heroes like Lonnie Walker and Sunfold who are equal in importance to the local culture as The Loners and DLH. Lonnie Walker and The Loners were BOTH in the 2009 N&O Great 8 as a matter of fact.

  So that said, their is very little chance that Tim was directing this article to Lonnie Walker and Sunfold, even though it that’s where it landed. I’d also bet that Meredith, Brett, and a-drizzle are posting out of support for LW and SF, not artsplosure.

  We live in an awesome local music culture and every DAY we have to make hard choices on which bands to go see, this isn’t any different.

  I blogged about Lonnie Walker in December: http://secretcarrboroninjapatrol.blogspot.com/2008/12/show-review-lonnie-walker.html

  and The Dirty Little Heaters in March: http://secretcarrboroninjapatrol.blogspot.com/2009/03/show-review-dirty-little-heaters.html

  Both are awesome and shouldn’t be missed. Have fun deciding. =SMILES)

  we should all meet up down by the concrete plant and railroad tracks and have a rock fight!!

  ROCK FIGHT!!!!!

  but then again, the loners would win, so whats the point, gimme, gimme that revolution fellas.

• amber05/15 10:47 AM

  artspace and artsplosure are unrelated entities. negativity about any arts related event is detrimental to the energy of the creative community. we should celebrate living in an area that offers (and is able to support) several unique arts events IN ONE WEEKEND.

• sarah05/15 11:07 AM

  agreed, amber.  from artsplosure to insplosure to the bain project and rebusfest, it’s exciting that raleigh can support such a wide range of arts events. while each may not be interesting to every person, there is, hopefully, something for everyone.  hooray for a raleigh arts weekend!

• rich05/15 11:29 AM

  internet serious business.

• rebus works05/16 10:40 PM

  Due to the predicted rain, RebusFest is postponed until Sunday, May 31st.

• tito05/29 03:08 PM

  as if it wasn’t enough that they tried to ruin artsplosure, why does rebusfest hate downtown live and that thing going on at the lincoln too?

• oakcity05/29 04:00 PM

  THERES GONNA BE A ROCK FIGHT!!!!!!!!!

• Scott O.05/31 12:11 AM
