The politics are tiring, and you are correct - no one cares. If you've decided to blacklist a certain group - can't you just quietly do it and not make a big fuss about it on the message board? Seems like making a big annoucement about your blacklisting being "a first in salsa history" is aimed at trying to instigate more of the same.
It's a new year, and if we aren't going to actively promote peace in the salsa community, let's at least assume everyone is caught up on the history between Salsaboston and April On2 management. And if someone isn't (and is truly "just wondering"), they should contact the parties involved directly. Because frankly, everyone else is sick of hearing it.
Happy New Year to both Salsaboston and April On2.
: People are asking me, "Where's the new years salsa party?!"
: Sigh... We're not doing one for once in a long while, and in fact I'm going out to hit a couple parties with friends for a change instead of working!
: There are some options though.
: Mojitos is throwing a big Shin-Dig, Sophia's style basically. www.mojitosboston.com
: There's also the Havana Club party at Hoffas. www.havanaclubsalsa.com
: I'm hitting the JetSet Events party, not salsa but a good scene. www.jetsetevents.com, discount tickets from the salsaboston store.
: And finally, there is a party at Ryles. This one is being put on by the AprilOn2 management, whoever that is. Sadly however, after years of anti-salsaboston c--p from this bunch and though I continuously provided them the same level of free promotional services as to everyone else, more recently they have actively gone out of their way to _prevent_ us from promoting certain events, which crosses an already way overstretched line of decency. So... in case you're wondering, this bunch has more recently been formally blacklisted, a first in SalsaBoston history.
: Now, it's not expected that anybody really cares about "stupid salsa politics" except a few insiders. Heck I don't even really, but unfortunately I have to maintain a policy for my own sanity. This community, this business of salsa, whatever you want to call it, depends very much on mutual back-scratching, and unfortunately a limited few of these AprilOn2 individuals have simply proven that they don't know how to play in the same sandbox.
: Okay, whatever! Keep on dancing!
: Happy New Year and see you on the dancefloor!
