ALERT:<\/strong> There’s something happening here. Rock Town Hall<\/ins> is growin’ up. They said sit down and we stood up. <\/p>\n

Welcome to RTH v.3: StickyRhino<\/strong>. The ever-changing world in which we live in. (StickyRhino is best viewed at a screen resolution of 1280 or higher.)<\/p>\n

You won’t have to look too hard to orient yourself. The Rhino is a direct budding from DirtWeed and should in fact put to rest the long and hard fought flame wars of the AARP skin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The gates of steel are being crashed Towsfolk. Hourly, by the throngs, rabid fans hell bent on devouring our unique brand of pablum are arriving. We are stardust. We are golden. We are half a million strong.* We can no longer fly under the radar. This is a call to action, fellow Townsfolk. <\/p>\n

How you gonna come? With your hands on your head?<\/p>\n

I don’t think so.<\/p>\n

Revolution rock.<\/p>\n

The time is nigh and we’re holding on. <\/p>\n

The flag of piracy flies from our mast; our sails are set wing to wing.<\/p>\n

RTH is a rolling stone that may not be gathering moss but is gathering up fun, knowledgeable voices like chips from a chocolate fireball.<\/p>\n

In our ongoing mission to spread the word and offer sanctuary to like-minded rock fans we have entered into a firm handshake and a sudden look in the eye with the MOG Music Network<\/strong>. In exchange for adspace (which will either feature goods targeted to music freaks or public service announcements–fear not, there will be no shoot-the-monkey ads on our hallowed ground) RTH will be featured on the popular MOG blog. Teasers of our content on MOG will include links back to The Hall. Check them out if you so desire. MOG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Treat me nice, says the party girl.<\/p>\n

For those of you with a history in the Halls of Rock for even as far back as 1 year, imagine a Rock Town Hall<\/ins> without the contributions of newer Townspeople, like 2000Man, Alexmagic, Diskojoe, and Northvancoveman… Sure we attract an asshole here and there, shawnkilroy, but the net is a gain for all. Ask yourself how many more intelligent rock lovers are out there, seeking just the community we’ve created? By god, it is our duty to offer aid and comfort to these folks. This is a continued effort to bring in fresh voices and tap new perspectives on the music we spend an inordinate amount of time examining.<\/p>\n

So trash those pictures of Chairman Mao, take up arms and fight the good fight gents (and ladies?). To infinity and beyond.<\/p>\n

There are going to be bugs to crush so this is the place to expose them. In fact there is much that we were unable to test until we went “live.” So take it easy and don’t let the sound of our own wheels drive you crazy.<\/p>\n

Here comes the sun, Townsfolk. Have faith.<\/p>\n

After all, we are all
\nSo very small
\nAnd the time that we have here
\nShould not be spent in fear<\/p>\n

And to prove it, here’s Chandler from Friends<\/em> to sing it to you.<\/p>\n
