  1. OMG, we agree (kinda). Apparently I'm the only one who reads this guy's reviews. All year it's been "Empire's Dirty." Now it's "Empire's Max Out." Maybe he could have said "Great job Empire, you really cleaned up." And yes - though I don't know if I need to apologize for this because I think anyone who has ever taught a corps is probably thinking the same thing - my reaction to his unnecessarily detailed and personal "Inside Baseball" reviews is, "Oh yeah, who do you teach?" And another thing: The beauty of DCP is that it ISN'T RAMD. So if you want to say something you should use your REAL NAME. Putting my name on the bottom of my posts is my mistake.
  2. Have you read this guy's reviews? He has a Phd in everything, but I can't question ONE thing out of his 50,000 words? And don't worry, I won't DEFEND Empire. I'm just an alum... but I wouldn't mind seeing some of those kids enjoy what other Statesmen have enjoyed.
  3. Nevermind... I'll take your word for it... You DON'T know how Empire will squeeze more juice out of their show. But on behalf of all Rochestarians, we invite you ALL to come see for yourself.
  4. Big W wrote... "I frankly don't know how hard Empire can squeeze their orange and get any more drops out of it. I think they might have gotten all of the juice out of themselves and their program that they can humanly get." That's why you aren't on a staff of a corps that has been in the Top 3 for the past 20 years. Go down the list of Empire's staff and count the rings (Empire and Brigs). They'll show up.
  5. I'm trying to think of a come back for Fran.... I got nuthin'
  6. Well CT-Horns, when it does move, it's moving farther away, not closer, to CT. I'm torn - it's obviously a great tradition (although fairly recent, right?), and a big of part of the experience... But, the people in that neighborhood deserve the same respect that you would want in your neighborhood. In fact, I'm surprised the RPD has been so cool about it this long. That's a brutal neighborhood, and the cops have kept your stuff pretty safe... it can't be easy for them. But again, I'm torn... that area hasn't solved the prostitution or drug trafficking problem in 40 years... but loud nasty "band" music after 11pm one night a year... no way. I think if the right people talk to the right people this can be handled.
  7. If you go to Bruegger's Bagels watch out - cuz NYS adds an extra tax if they slice it.
  8. Your comments won't be necessary since you weren't there... again.
  9. Right - just because he wasn't there doesn't mean he can't do a review... that's his whole schtick.
  10. Didn't VOReason go to Scranton? Where is he or she?
  11. You're right - people seem to forget the days when the drum major was the personality of the corps.
  12. Did you notice I was replying to HairBear?
