First world problems.

In France you don't notice, because everyone smells like that, including you.

I apologize profusely for my "Gigantic Waves of Stink" (Fantastic Possible name for a folk-punk band though...), I am on bicycle tour across the country and had just finished a sound check across town at another show and then dashed over to see Rizo... ...I had intended to sit at the back but was brought to that seat. I feel awful I caused you discomfort, as that was in no way my intention.

If you'd like to hear more about my tour or discuss my personal odors in greater detail you can check out Facebook.com/bellow.wing.strangely

Best Wishes!

Re: Sandiai - I voted via absentee ballot, as I was touring in Europe at the time.

Dear David, I also hate how the human body responds naturally to exercise and share your opioin that anyone who smells must be a dirty panhandling construction worker.

Dear Mr. Schmader,

Having read your recent review of Lady Rizo's performance at The Triple Door I must say I was highly disappointed by your lack of professionalism. While you had a few very kind things to say of the artist herself, you took over half of your review to critique the audience and not the performance. Let me remind you that as a critic your JOB is to give an honest review of the performance, the artist, and the venue. Your job is NOT to critique the audience. The only message that you seem to have gotten across to your readers is that you are an intolerant, gutless, high and mighty judge of your fellow man. I suppose that those traits go hand in hand with being a critic, however if you were to critique the audience at every show you attended I'm sure you would spend far more time focusing on the personal hygiene of others causing you to completely fail every artist who performed and was hoping for an honest review of THEIR ART. You Sir have proven in this instance that you are a failure at your job. I hope that this is a hobby of yours, and not a payed career. If I was your employer and I read a review focusing on an audience member, and not the artist you were PAID to attend and critique I would feel it was my duty to either make you rewrite your review, or fire you for wasting company time. I would highly suggest to you that you re-think motivations for future reviews when attending shows. This is the pacific northwest Mr. Schmader. This is not an opera house in Venice, or a night club in 1920's New York. You should expect foul odors, crowded sweaty rooms, and "hardcore BO with mossy slept-in-the-rain underpinnings". In the northwest rain is HARD TO AVOID. If you find these things offensive do yourself a favor, and move to state a bit less humid. If you refuse to do so, then do what the rest of us do. Deal with it. Be kind. Be polite. Address your issues with your neighbors in person, and without back-handed hostility. Above all else in regards to your job, focus on the people performing and not the people watching the performance. If you do not do this, than you Sir are a failure and deserve no recognition.

Good day.
