In case you haven't been following the tempest in a teacup about the LCD show over at Undietacos (how I hate typing or saying that), here is a typical post.

So please don't bring all this bad grammar and vitriole to my comments.

those two all caps posts are two different people, one is pretty obvious if you've seen his other posts to that board or the sacto_indie list.
So I haven't read any of the comments about the LCD show on these lists, but I've heard the complaints second hand.
hopefully people realize that for the last five years or so Jay Howell has put on the best shows in this town -- often for the price of a donation. Cut him a break, haters.

I know. I think there was only one hater and then like 5 million people rushing to his defense. It's true, he has been primarily responsible for probably quite a few of the shows that I have enjoyed (as opposed to the shows I attend but don't enjoy) for the last few years. I think it's just a little overkill on the one person (or possibly two people) who complained they couldn't get in and thought it was because they weren't cool enough. Everyone's had that feeling before (right?) and it does suck. But sometimes if you're sensitive to it, you get that feeling even when you're not being judged on that. Like I always thought that nobody liked me because I wasn't cool enough and then I realized it's really just because I'm Jewish.
Becky, I only like you because YOU ARE jewish.

I don't think it's overkill at all. Whoever posted it was acting like a spoiled brat. 99% of promoters are dickheads. They weren't just born that way. We've got to nurture our budding promoters right or we'll end up with a bunch of damaged, mean old perpe- promoters. I hear rumors that once upon a time, even Soriano was as nice and laid back as Jay Howell is. Then the Loft happened. There's a frighteningly large gang of kids in Sac who don't do shit other than act entitled to everything that they played no part in bringing about. and then they bitch about it. People who are going to hate on Jay or anyone who puts that much work into something great deserve every verbal stomping they get. Chronic haters (like the dude that posted on undietacos, etc.) are, more often than not, betraying their own insecurities, rather than an accurate perception of what goes down. It's not right to impose one's insecurities of cool or un-coolness on those who did something really... cool. and I can talk- I'm usually not even cool enough to hang out with my own brother. -Nic's Bro
Thanks Nicola

That reads like a John Prichard email.
Dear Nic's Bro,
Way to name drop, dicksmell.
signed,
that guy who knows that cool guy
Be nice! Be nice! He was just making a joke. There will be no using of the term "dicksmell" on my blog!
Bottom line is if the complaining dude's who didn't get in HAD gotten in, they wouldn't have given a shit about the people who didn't. So bringing it up like they're defending the "uncool little people" is crap. Also, if you were that big of an LCD fan, you would've bought tickets to the SF show when they went on sale. Also, I would like to say that I was one of those jerks that got in even though I was late. Ha ha. I'm so cool.

Speaking of name-dropping, did I tell you guys about that one time I partied with this one dude who was roomies with Anonymous, and he was all, "Yo, Dicksmell, did anyone ever tell you that you write like John Pritchard?" and I was like, "Thanks, man. That means a lot to me. I hear John Pritchard's the next Andy Kaufman. By the way, why is Anonymous acting so mysterious lately?" Sincerely, The Next Next Andy Kaufman
