anybody here who would not be willing throw the dice & maybe end up looking like something of an asshole for many thousands of dollars can cast the first stone, but I'm guessing that if I had a lie detector test and a stack of hundreds that climbed up past ankle level, most of us here would be "where do I bust out the shitty rap?" Salem sucked because they don't really know what they're doing yet & hadn't really thought about playing outside of their element. In about a year they'll sound live like they sound on record & the only person who'll remember the Fader Fort performance will be markers.

World rejoices rescue of 33 music fans, but daunting tasks awaitAustin, Texas (CNN) -- After 69 days and a cost as high as $20 million, 33 music fans have finally been extracted from the bowels of a Salem live performance. To roaring applause, ILX President Tom Ew1ng placed a metal cap on top of the Fader Fort entrance early Thursday morning -- and marked the end of a rescue operation that captivated the globe.But in a way, the story is just beginning -- both for the fans, who now must live with their new status as indie heroes and the spotlight that comes with it, and the Internet, whose attention turns to protecting listeners' safety."I hope this will never happen again," said music critic Whiney G. Weingarten, the last listener out of the Fader Fort, as underrated aerosmith albums i have loved embraced him."I am so proud of what you have done," BIG HOOS told the president. "Thank you to all the rescuers, to all of ILX, to everyone. I am so proud to be free.""We had hope that someday we would be rescued," markers said.Rescue worker Ned Raggett, the first human being to descend in a custom-made soundproof capsule to reach the fans, was the last of six rescuers to emerge. He waved and bowed before a SXSW camera before climbing into the capsule for the last time.Colleagues and onlookers cheered as Raggett surfaced, with lex pretend quipping, "Did you leave everything in order in there? Are the beds made? You didn't turn off the light."

The funny standards for lesser-known posters are a problem for ILX, Mr. Que said on ILX's "Salem - What kind of music genre is this ?" thread Thursday."There's two realities," he said. One is for the well-respected posters, who have excellent funny standards, and the second is the medium and small posting operations with lower standards.The oversight for lesser-known ILX posters must be increased, Mr. Que said.For the moment, however, elation over the Salem live performance rescue remained high among ILXors."Yesterday was happiness, spiritual highness," HI DERE said. "Today, perfection is the word, and the way that man can defy destiny with spirit and also with human support and human efforts."

Rescued ILXors reflect on weeks of confinement(CNN) -- A note, written in red and recovered on August 22, filled a music website with hope."We are fine in the Fader Fort, the 33 of us," the note, attached to a probe by music fans trapped inside the Salem performance in the Fader Fort, said. It was the first evidence found that they were alive.On Wednesday, the last of the 33 fans was rescued, marking the end of a harrowing 69 days.With the rescue, new details are emerging from the fans and ILXors about their experiences in captivity. Among the revelations is that the famous proof of life note was not the only note that the fans wanted to send to the surface.Whiney G. Weingarten, the shift foreman and last miner out, recounted for ILX President Tom Ew1ng the exciting moment when the probe reached the trapped fans for the first time."We had a protocol for when it arrived, but everyone nearly forgot it," Weingarten said. "Sleeve wanted to ban them all, let God sort them out."Some of the ILXors wanted to send notes to the surface such as "ILM's 9/11," "wtf at all this," "oh my fucking god stop it," and many messages to family members on the surface.These potential notes reflect what some fans have described as the hardest times, the first part of their ordeal. At the time that the probe reached the fans, they had survived for 17 days by sharing small amounts of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Cheetos that were in the Fader Fort. At that point, they were eating only once every 48 hours. They didn't know when their next real meal would come. They didn't know when they would see their loved ones again.In the end, their training kicked in and they sent the now-famous note."We only sent what we had to send," Weingarten said.Even during the difficult times, Herman G.

Austin, Texas (CNN) -- At least 10 rescued Salem fans will be released Friday from the Austin Regional Hospital, officials said.
Their departure marked the beginning of the end of a frenzied day of joy that erupted Wednesday as the men -- who spent more than two months trapped in a Salem performance in the Levi's Fader Fort -- were rescued.
"I was afraid that I was not going to meet the child that was on the way. It was the thing that most scared me," said k3vin k. His girlfriend is expecting a child in November.
J0rdan S., the 28th fan, spoke to journalist nabisco shortly after his rescue Wednesday.
"I think the worst thing is to pass three, four, five days without hearing Titus Andronicus; to know that there might not be any future," he said.
J0rdan S. told nabisco he was afraid he would die in the Fader Fort.
"We were all waiting for that. We were all very thin. I lost 12 kilos (about 27 lbs)," he said.
Meanwhile, ILX shifted its attention to protecting the rest of the board's music fans.

"We are going to create a culture of respect for life, health and dignity of our ears," he said.
