An update from The Meeting Northwest

You may have already notice but currently our site appears either currently out-of-date or sends you an error or attempts to download when you try to load it. None of these things will harm your system however I know they are quite annoying. Thank you for sticking with us.

I just received an email from our site host and have found out that an upgrade on their end has caused much of themeetingnw.com to display improperly, if at all.

They are working on a few things, as am I and bit by bit, all will return to normal soon. Thank you for keeping up on our latest news.

Sincerely,

Little changes come

I've made a few more decisions that have eliminated some of the thing we offer here at The Meeting Northwest in order to further refine The Spokane Music Calendar.

• Fliers on Myspace have been discontinued.

We really hope you do continue to post them on our comments, however, saving each flier, adding comments and organizing them have taken up too much time in the past. Maybe in the future.


• Our Upcoming shows page has officially be renamed to Future shows

In reality, the entire calendar is a list of future shows (so long as I'm doing my job correctly) but this is a list of even farther-in-the-future shows. You will find a link to this page under Other links in the menu section of any page on our site. So there.


• Added a 'Print' feature to The Spokane Music Calendar and our Future shows pages.
Please feel free to print off the calendar as use at will. Make copies for your friends. Make copies for my friends.

A test.

I've posted quite a few blogs in the last few weeks.

None of them are appearing where they're supposed to be.

Confusion

All is well now.

Calendar posting. Myspace blog style.

I've posted today's calendar in our Myspace blogs, something I haven't done in quite awhile. I thought I'd give it another chance since Myspaces' formatting no longer seems to turn the listings into an unreadable, jumbled mess. If you find that you can't tell where one listing starts and another ends, please let me know.

If you do like the ease of viewing the calendar in our Myspace blogs instead of going to our site at themeetingnw.com, post a comment on this and we'll make it a habit to make things easier for ya.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend,

Old fliers? No thanks.

After quite a while of cataloging past concert fliers I have decided to stop. As it stands, I have a digital copy of (nearly) every flier from January 2008 to present.

I don't know why.

I no longer plan on keeping old fliers either on line or on my hard drive. Eliminating this one step in the process of posting The Spokane Music Calendar should allow me more time to bring you a more complete product. If you would like a copy of any of these, please email me. There are many ways to do so.

Take care,

The Blvd. | Moving to Riverside Ave.

Well folks, tonight marks the end of The Blvd's five year run as a Spokane live music venue. At their current address anyway.

For some time the Spokane Public Facilities District have been looking forward to expanding the convention center complex to the south side of Spokane Falls Blvd and tonight brings the inevitable one step closer.

We've caught no word on when the actual demolition of the 100 year old building will happen but we plan on having some great and sad pictures on The Blvd's final day.

Tonight's show, reportedly the last at the venue will be the annual Wig Bash 2009 co-presented by Seattle's The Wig, our very own Platform Booking & The Inlander. Photography by Blush Response.

We're listing the show something like this:

Shim - Myspace (Seattle, Wa)
Cyrus Fell Down - Myspace (Spokane Valley, Wa)
See Me River - Myspace (Seattle, Wa)
Truckasauras - Myspace (Seattle, Wa)
$5 / 9p / 18+

After this weekend of shows, The Blvd. will be moving to 230 W. Riverside Ave.

Aside from jokes about having to change the name, the address should serve the new tenants well as it has played host to past venues such as The B-Side, The Spread and most recently The Zombie Room.

We look forward to many more years with The Blvd as a great place to be here in Spokane. A little closer to downtown, a little further from the rowdy opera house scene, a hell of a lot of good music to come.

Test #2

I've had some problems with the site today. I may have accidentally deleted the files that control my menus and such. Some folders were messed up causing this blog to not upload correctly. This is a test to see if that issue has been resolved.
