Whilst I agree with Less, Tealeaf, A-Bob and Mez. The enterprising soul who put the advertisement (for that's what it really is) on the site, was (tongue in cheek) interpreting the site rules to his own benefit. That's enterprise and points out a hole in the site rules which need to be tightened regarding advertising of local events.

If this place on Willow St., can pay artists (and I use that word loosely), then they can pay for advertising (it's tax deductable!), or are they just trying to screw as much money out of the place as possible?

Down town Accy is a hell hole and likely to get worse, and such events (whilst wanted by most of the young 'uns) only makes the place worse for a large percentage of the people of Accy. If we had an ever present, visible, and large police force who ensured that the "Yobs" (could be anybodys son or daughter), knew that they couldn't mess with the cops or get away with anything illegal however minor. Then the culture of people being attacked and nearly kicked to death would soon stop.

Unfortunately society is currently only interested in profit...and what we see clearly reflects that.

So to breath life in the town (the breath of life is usless to a dead town)or advertise your wares (for profit) on this site...a commercial transaction is required (pay up lad). I hope Roy is able to amend the site rules to ensure all events advertised (free)on site are charitable ones, and should go through either him or a moderator first.
