Looking for Nothing

Judging from what happened at similar commission meetings last year, I’m guessing we might see the ongoing resistance from the Mateel side go public once again. While the Reggae War is on break in the courts, it rages on in SoHum, particularly in the blogosphere, and there’s no end in sight. One love? Forget it.

bob, bob, how about some hard hitting journalism? Oh right if you can’t cheer lead for PP and TD you have no interest in covering the story! hee hee. just kidding. not really though…

Consider these facts for story fodder: Like the fact that Reggae on the RIver made a tidy profit on their one day show last year and have already announced the line up for a great 2 day event for 2010!??!?

Or more importantly, how the omnipotent (real deal) Reggae Rising failed to show a profit in 2010 and most, if not all, staff and contractors were left in the rears??? as in WERE NOT PAID!!! INCLUDING THE CHP?!?!?? Speaking of which, i heard they (the CHP – integral to CUP approval process) gave reggae rising a big thumbs down (being owned in excess of $28,000…) and the CUP will be denied for 2010!! This is huge. Although RR is selling tix they have announced NO line up, and in reality, the show is a NO GO> how about this for a headline: reggae rising is DEAD!!

please try to be a good reporter.
