One Year Done — And Many More to Come (I Hope)
Posted by: mark ˑ February 7, 2009 – 12:19 amOops, I nearly forgot about the 1-year anniversary of the Gig Guide. Hard to believe, but I (and Shawn) have been keeping this calendar going for 365 days already.
When I started the Gig Guide last February, I had no idea what to expect. Heck, I did not even know if I could get the calendar plugin to work. But thanks to a little help from my friends, the Guide got started.
Since then, hits have been trending steadily upward, so thank you very much. January was the best month yet, and although no one would mistake this site for the Drudge Report (in terms of popularity), I am pretty happy with how things have been growing. Korean live music probably will never going to be a huge, mainstream force, but I am very pleased that so many of you are coming here as often as you are.
The Gig Guide has always been about filling a need and trying to be useful for people who like this sort of thing and want to learn more about it. Feel free to drop me an email anytime, asking for me to add something or change something or whatever. This really is your website as much as it is mine, and participation can only make the Gig Guide better.
I would like to send another big thanks to Shawn, too, who in his short time in Korea has already learned more about the live music scene them most people. Shawn helps me add events to the calendar, and he is a major reason why the calendar is as full as it (usually) is.
With a little luck, the coming year (and years after that) will continue to grow and be successful.
Cheers,
- Mark
