Here it is in April, 2020 and I have had nothing to post for several weeks since all live shows have been canceled due to COVID-19. For quite some time I've been going to very few shows anyway, and I decided it's as good a time as any to pack it all in. So yeah, I'm going to quit adding events.<\/p>\n
The first e-mail was Saturday, January 16, 1999, and the last post was for the week starting Thursday, April 2, 2020. If I really didn't skip any weeks, that's 1,107 weeks in a row. Starting with the old e-mails and HTML web pages<\/a>, I published 34,178 event entries: about 1,404 events before switching to a database where I added another 20,274 up until I switched to a different database for July 19, 2012 (in addition to another 1,062 movie openings); after which I added another 12,500 events. In all that time, I tracked 2,290 venues and locations mostly around Rochester as well as 11,658 performers — I made notes about seeing some 1,056 performers.<\/p>\n I'll leave the Events Calendar<\/a> around in case you want to explore the archives or for the few events that might pop there, or check out the Blog Archive<\/a>.<\/p>\n You can search most of the site and events with the bar above, but if you're looking for something older than July, 2012, either visit the Pre-WordPress Archive<\/a> or search the site using FreeFind<\/a> (which includes the old static pages):<\/p>\n
