At last report, things were dead in the water or at least at a complete standstill. There was talk about store credit or some other special substitute perk if the series wasn't continued. So, in short, where are things with it now, and what are our options, if any? __________________ 12-30-2004 08:59 Eleanor Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-13-2002 Posts: 5,111 Location: NFP I hope carl breaks my fall...        Would you jump off a cliff just because carl did? 12-30-2004 10:20 carl Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 6,960 Well, I hope you hit first, given the extra padding.... __________________ 12-30-2004 10:23 audiori Administrator Registration Date: 03-12-2002 Posts: 11,145 Location: Missouri We've been giving Terry & Mike some time to think about what they want to do with the clubs. So far, neither of them have really given any input on where they want to go with them... in their defense, we haven't been badgering them to do so - not for any particular reason, we've just been busy on different fronts. Had they wanted to keep the clubs going in some way - we would have just carried over the old resubscriptions to the new clubs. At this point, I don't know what they're planning to do. I think they'd like to see them continue (under better circumstances), but the clubs in the past were such a complicated mess that they almost don't want to think about jumping in again. At this point, it doesn't really matter to us what you guys want to do - if you want to use your resub for store credit, you're free to do that. Just let us know. audiori@danielamos.com As far as original subs go... everyone should have received both releases. If anyone didn't, they need to contact us as well. Dorf - we can get you copies of both releases. I'm not sure what happened with your subscription. although I guess you subscribed right before Warm&Filled went belly up and the clubs were thrown into chaos. __________________ "Blessed is he who expecteth nothing, for he shall enjoy everything" -St. Francis of Assisi "A strange fanaticism fills our time: the fanatical hatred of morality, especially of Christian morality." - GK Chesterton 12-30-2004 10:37 carl Platyhelminth Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 6,960 In that case....        As long as I can find something I don't already have, I'll be cashing that puppy in shortly.

By the time I was hooked into the site it was too late to join - but I would sure like to get the two special releases now. How about it Audi? DA *ROCKS!!!!!!!!! __________________ *DA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Knowing how some media are more effective than others.... it's worth noting that I made my self-imposed deadline last Thursday, and somewhere in that overstocked Inbox of yrs is a modest proposal.... __________________ 01-03-2005 12:28 Audiori J Administrator Registration Date: 11-27-2004 Posts: 7,728 Location: "Clowns to the left of me! Jokers to the right! Here I AM stuck in the middle with you." - Stealers Wheel I do know we have a stack of the second Avocado disc, we could get some of the first one and offer them for a small price to those that missed out originally...after we make sure those that are still owed receive theirs. Thats what Mike wanted to do with the 77s Christmas CD, he just wanted to sel it. I don't think he was keen on the idea that was originally promised; that those songs would not be offered again in any other way. I remember a quote of his to the effect of "you mean they are doomed to cardboard hell?" I think Mike liked the songs enough he wanted to sometime present them in a better format. Basically for whatever reason, the original clubs were presented to us to sell in such a way we thought all the details were already handled. Then once we were selling it, we started to learn that none of the details were handled... Mike and Terry were kind of in the dark as much as we were. Good intentions fowled up I guess. If they are started up again, we would want to make sure that everything that s promised is doable. If there is a promise of 2 releases a year, Mike and Terry know they have to do that and agree. If a promise is made about clubmembers getting preferred seats at concerts... someone has to do that. Etc. We don't like being the ones who have to answer for all of the "issues" with the fan clubs when basically none of it was planned by us to begin with. There were a lot of problems and we were the ones that had to answer to people for them. We even had some people say they signed up for the clubs at a show (that we were not at) and that they never had recieved anything. After getting chewed out by these people, we had to talk to Mike and let him know that whoever had taken these subscriptions never sent us the information to fill them. Thats just one example from a few years back. Financially DanielAmos.com and 77s.com are back on track after the changes that went on a year ago. Now we could probably discuss with Mike and Terry how they want to handle any future clubs. __________________ "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence." ~ Robert Frost 01-03-2005 12:42 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Thread Starter So where does that put me __________________ http://www.google.com 01-03-2005 13:43 Pages (3): [1] 2 3 next » Tree Structure | Board Structure Jump to: Please select: -------------------- DA Related Discussion-- General Discussion-- Upcoming Releases-- CD & DVD Reviews-- Larry - Lucy I'm In LoveFAQs and Notices Daniel Amos Message Board » DA Related Discussion » General Discussion » Avocado Club Forum Software: Burning Board 2.3.6, Developed by WoltLab GmbH
