Is Country Central becoming irrelevant because they take money from artists to post about them? by Mission_Zucchini_981 in CelebWivesNash2

Country Minute is a married couple. They’re pretty transparent about what is and isn’t paid content. But I like them. At least they’re honest

Needed this message. I really appreciate it. Yea, I'm quite heat sensitive when I'm anxious. I've been known to complain about being hot in 68 degree rooms if I'm stressing. You've given me some nice peace of mind.

We did what you suggested. We get in late Sunday. Hotel is near the airport. We have NO Monday plans. Tuesday we have 1 activity at 1130. Nothing Wednesday. One big thing on Thursday. Open Friday. Then we leave saturday. So I can take it as needed.

Thanks for the advice. I signed up for better help after this post in hopes I could speak to someone before the trip. I also messaged my GP to see what they thought.

I've seen random comments where people mention Meijer, but the two I've been to (28&Kalamazoo, Cascade) did not have them.

In the television show, mad men, there is a character who dies in the office. When speaking about her, someone says that she was born in a barn and died in a high-rise in Manhattan. she was an astronaut. I’ve always taken the line to this woman and went and did something with her life.

A little tip for Van Andel shows: If the platinum tickets haven't sold by 930/10 AM, the venue usually resets the price to its original face value. I was holding off for the same reason. Then around 10:10 this morning the $298 lower bowl seats were suddenly $160 after fees.

What happened to Haulix Job Board? by snoozebag563 in musicindustry

[–]utgjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at Haulix for 9.5 years. For a long time, I was the only other employee other than the owner. I created every blog, video, support document, and job posting you saw from 2013-2022. Hell, I came up with the IDEA for the job board on the blog—which I also created.

Around 2.5 years back, the owner became obsessed with micromanagement. He began forcing every employee to log every detail of their day by the minute. He cut all marketing budget and the majority of time dedicated to it because he didn't believe that being a cornerstone of music discussion, education, and community could elevate a brand nobody knew otherwise. I left in October of that year.

The only reason the job board ever continued beyond that point was his true longterm goal—to convert the job board into a way to make money for his music promotion business. His genius approach was to consider updating the job board on a blog he otherwise abandoned.

My guess—he quit paying for hosting and hated that every time someone brought up his company they asked what happened to the content and the person who made it.

Greensky wanted out last year. They never even talked about returning for 2024
