Default Where were all of Aberdeen's skate/BMX/etc fraternity last night then?!

As good as the gig was, I noticed (as did others) that most of the crowd that came along to support the drive to build a huge extreme sports centre down the beach were 14-20ish Karloff and Black Atom fans. Where were all the skaters and other extreme sports fanatics then?? If I were the Transition folks behind the 2.6M project, I'd be wondering whether my efforts were justified, given the apparent lack of support from the very people the centre is meant to cater for. Funny how nearly everyone I speak to about the plans for the centre say "Hell yeah, just what Aberdeen's needed for years now", yet they couldn't pay a measly few quid to support it!!

On a positive note, a big, big, big thankyou to anyone who came along to see any of the acts at the Lemon Tree. You all had a great time and drove all the bands to put on a great performance each! Ruinous were particularly impressive for such a young bunch of dudes only on their first gig...!! Muchos gracias to all the Karloff Kult who went mental down the front, got their covering of blood, bought CDs and t-shirts, and continue to blind us with their support and appreciation. You're the best bunch of people, and we hope you like the new tunes we have on the way to you later on in the year!

£7 is not a measely few quid to me. i'd rather have donated a fiver straight to the project than pay £7 to watch those bands.

Sadly I was on call for work, and thus it has stopped me from having any sort of fun this week.
