    I am honestly most disturbed about the fact that my typo got published.

    After that, I think it's just weird that this story is being reported on at all... did that guy actually call the newspaper I wonder? Could this be his idea of publicity for his cause? I wonder how this is going over with Wishlist?

    Also, I doubt I need to say it, but just for the record, despite the oddly placed quote, I never threatened or strong-armed anyone. I did say that I thought crowdsourcing seems like a way to strong-arm the band though... ;)

    There is a thread on FB in the Official PJ Ten Club Members page that is 400+ comments in already. Quite a shit show of banter. Dan is on trying to defend himself and denounce the article. But did say he was quoted correctly. Sadly, nobody's gonna win that argument.
    I was just reading that FB thread, and the one thing that really struck me was that the PJ at Forest Hills twitter account actually tweeted an enthusiastic thank you to the Daily News. I wouldn't be surprised if it's deleted by now, but there is a screen shot of it. Probably not a good idea for a tweet!

    Well, that's a strangely written article. Allegation of threats and "almost" strong-arming, and the best quote they can come up with to illustrate this is PJ_Soul's statement about the building being in disrepair? Those crowdfunders must be pretty mild individuals if they feel threatened by that.

    Did they even read the sticker limit thread? People were throwing around Germany World War II references. The crowdfunding threads seem like a backyard brawl compared to the sticker thread.

    I think the real or perceived infighting between the groups is going to be the final nail in the coffin for any crowd funded shows. Why would the band want to encourage that type of behavior?

    Ahh but why would this be the case?? I mean the band set a precedence when it sided with Wishlist in 2006 and allowed it to be the "official" fan fundraiser for the band... just sayin'. I guess its survival of the fittest or most connected.
