Excellent article on the difference between doing a college circuit and being a band in the real world.

Perhaps they do know how to spell it but made a MISTAKE.

BlogSpot - anyone can do one. How do you get hooked up with an agent who can get you those college gigs is a whole 'nother thing.

Seems to me that it was done purposely to place emphasis on the word "not"

Either way, it's not misspelled since those are both words that can be combined together to reach the same meaning. In other words, it's only a cultural preference like the english "colour" vs the American "color"

It was a repost of Brady Ramone. She's got an ear to the ground, but dismiss away...

Quite honestly, this is the first I've heard of a 'college circuit' and I live near one of the biggest college nexuses (nexi?) in the world. In my 3 years at Boston University, there was one free 'senior party' show a year. One year we had a band play outside in the dorm campus that included Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter. Maybe things are different now? As an alumni, I don't see any announcements of anything, and even the various events that are announced don't have music there. Maybe BU is the exception?
