You Have Questions... I Have Answers

Since Gossip Cbus began, I’ve been swamped with e-mail (thanks for the love)… While I’ve tried to give individual responses to several, I also know that some of the questions are questions others may have and thus, answering them publicly would be better… Therefore, from time to time, I will answer questions where everyone can see them…

Q: Your coverage of R Bar last week seemed completely opposite of what you had written previously… Why was this?
A: Honestly, there isn’t a particular reason and we never meant for the coverage of the first two events to cause a stir… We were simply having fun with commenters from a previous column (“Columbus Bored With Jackets”)… R Bar’s promotions and venue staff are outstanding people and we look forward to covering, what we assume will be, outstanding crowds as the Blue Jackets skate in their first playoffs…

Q: I’ve noticed you cover a lot of local bands, but Columbus attracts it’s fair share of major acts for concerts as well… Will you ever cover a concert live?
A: While I have attended several concerts at both Nationwide Arena and Value City Arena (and all were great shows)… There is not a lot that you can cover… With local bands, we cover the music and act, as well as the venue and the crowd… With a major act, you couldn’t really do that… We are committed to the best social coverage in this city and we will be announcing some social coverage from summer concerts… But, I don’t for see ever twittering a concert live…

Q: Your twitter live events always seem to end at one or two, but your columns aren’t posted to four or later… What do you in between?
A: I’m elated you asked that question… We will have a major announcement concerning the events and time between wraps on Tuesday…
