Thanks for all the questions and supportive comments. Here are my answers:
Marisela: And I also hope to you see you at the Nov 12th show, will you be there?..
Marisela - yes, I will see you there. I am planning to go to the 2 LA shows and Las Vegas and also Dublin. Earlier in the year I saw Las Vegas, Anaheim, the 5 LA/Wiltern, 2 in NY/Apollo, May 22 in Manchester, Louisville, Kentucky and the KROQ make up.
Gabriella: It seems like you make lots of time/energy/financial sacrifices and don't particularly get a payoff! Is running an excellent site good enough in itself? I am very curious as to how detached you are from Moz's inner circle. Were you ever a part of Moz's inner circle?
Gabriella - the reward for doing the site is, exactly as you stated, in itself. It is not a perfect world, but the world of Morrissey is one I am honored to be a part of. I love the music, the concerts and all of the fans that are part of the site. There are many indirect payoffs - I've learned a lot doing the site and this helps with me career wise as I've been working with similar technology at my full-time job with LAUNCH, the music site on Yahoo!
Currently I am detached from any inner circle people. I get an occasional email or call from Sanctuary when they want something posted or have some problem with something on the site. As for being part of his inner circle, no, I never have been. I was on a friendly basis in the past but since starting the website the relationship has deteriorated. I think there has always been a lack of communication, with fault on both ends. I think I am seen as approving all of the comments written on the site by others. I have always maintained that I am not responsible and choose not to censor. Other people and Morrissey himself are generating these comments, not me.
ScottyK: I'm curious about what other artists you enjoy. Someone once told me that you Only listen to Smiths/Moz, and I was wondering if this was true?
ScottyK - I don't listen to music as much as I used to but I have been known to put in a CD from an artist besides Morrissey / The Smiths in rare occasions. Recently I Like the Camera Obscura and British Sea Power cds and a local LA band called The Like. Otherwise I listen to artists recommended by Morrissey and 80s music in general.
Tales From The Dark: ...has Morrissey personally ever contacted the site/you and do you therefore know if he himself ever visits it or not?
He has stated that he has never actually logged on but I know that people have printed out pages from the site regularly for him so I would say yes but I think he would say no. I've not had any contact with him lately so I don't know for certain if he visits or not.
