on a different topic. have any of you guys with band facebook pages ever though about creating a personal profile page for the band instead? From what I understand, facebook will show all your posts to all your fans, which are now "friends", if it's a personal page compared to only 3%-9% of your fans if you use a "page" profile.

I guess the trick would be trying to get all the fans to become friends with the new page....

Got a new neighbor to drop by for movie night, wasn't really sure where she stood, but she crawled in my fold out couch bed next to me as we watched tv. Then a bit into it I kissed her and she said she's so nervous but waiting to do it. So i had to go get some condoms in the parking lot convince store. So get back get into it and she tears open the new box and finds it empty?!

So then it's just kiss talk and hug her goodnight and she walked back next door, saying that didn't change anything.

So maybe it'll happen again, otherwise I've had 100% opportunity for a different girl every month this year so far and two were lost to lost condoms.

I ignore friend requests from personal pages of bands that I actually like. Just seems annoying.

Hard to say which I like better...the GK's grind/midrange sound fantastic. But the SVT's low end is just so much bigger.

Which is kind of funny since I generally like tube amps for my grind and midrange qualities, and SS amps for big low end....as per most of my posts today have been about.

Your friend list tops out at a certain # and don't know what that number is. Like 5k I think

Yeah we're around 850 and honestly I don't want to get that many more likes unless they're people who dig the band because of how facebook works... I've thought of going through and deleting any people who threw a sympathy like instead of actually liking the band to increase post engagement. But then I realized I don't care enough, and **** facebook haha.

I dislike facebook, I only have mine active to admin on the bongripper and cstvt pages, as well as use it as a IM/contact for people I don't have phone #'s for.

I don't like anything (other than St. Vincent), and ignore friend requests unless I actually know the person. So, sorry if anyone here tried to add me and I never accepted.

Was up to 2,700 with my old crew but there were tons of bots and such. Started back at zero with the new band and now up to 350+. Seems like more "real" people this time, too!

I don't see all my friends posts either so I doubt that it would solve anything.

I'm the same way and block many friends, especially the serial kid/animal pic people.

This. That vid you shared was pretty educational about the whole process/scam.
