Survey 2 Out
As many of you have no doubt noticed the second round of surveys started filtering into peoples email boxes today. Please take the time to fill it out!
To clarify a bit about what we mean when we call something an 'insurance risk', basically this means we have concerns that the act could result in moshing, or similar behavior. Again this does not mean that we will not try to get the act in question, if selected, but that we will be more circumspect in doing so.
If you believe we have mislabeled an act as a risk, or there is an act on the list that is not labeled and should be, please leave a comment here.
For instance, the Disco Biscuits should not be labeled as a risk. Ooops.
To reiterate the risk assessment was made by the board at our weekly meeting. Its just an opinion, its certainly not set in stone.
What does a risky act mean for the show?
Possibly higher insurance costs and definitely more security. The long and short of the situation is that we cannot have moshing. If people mosh they will be warned, if they most again they will be ejected. If the situation escalates from there, we will have to stop the show. This is the university policy and sadly there is little we can do about it.
Whats next?
After this survey closes, at 11:59PM on the 21st, the board will look over the results, talk to our agent and bid a headlining act. This act will be selected based on the results of the survey, provided they are available etc. The results of this survey will be posted here, just like the results of the last one, along with any information regarding bids.
Why are some acts listed in this post not listed on the survey?
Acts with a cost of '$Call for Details' or availability of 'No College Dates' or 'No Current Plans' were removed.

I would say either TSL, Mest or Armor for sleep would make for an awesome concert, the rest of my choices and the rest on the list I wouldn't mind seeing as well
Does the star mean that there is a higher risk? If so there are a bunch that are mislabelled, Also, just about all of the concerts I've been to have the same policy with no moshing, crowd surfing... ect, but for alot of bands it still goes on, the thing is that the security controls it resonably, if someone is really hurting people or crowd surfing excessivly they get kicked out, they warn crowd surfers and if they see them doing it too often they eject them, I've never been at a concert where someone got hurt, so this method of control seems to work, I don't want to feel like campus safety is going to stop the show if a few people mosh or whatever, Clarkson should take the same stand as concert venues so that people can have a great time and be safe, sometimes it seems like Clarkson is a little too safe
Josh Rouse would be a really good person to go along with someone else, $2500. Awseome musician, good music, comperable to Jack Johnson I suppose... but better. and he is only $2500. It would be awesome to have him.
I doubt Built to Spill would be a risk. They're essentially a hippy band.
Check out Arcade Fire, please, new album in the spring.

Mest is only $10,000, we could have yet another act, and cover a wide range of music tastes
