A rejection I can support.

[solarbird]

I got rejected by a venue today – the Seattle Farmers’ Market Alliance – for being inadequately generic.

No, really, I’m not making that up! Here’s the rejection explanation line from their email:

we are looking for music that is a little more upbeat and generic

Those are their words.

Frankly? I can live with that. No, wait, better: that’s going on the reviews page, as soon as I have one. Gotta do it.

Perhaps you could direct them to a good elevator.

I'm kinda torn, honestly; I need venues and I played two of their markets last year. But if I'm going to get a rejection, this is how. ^_^

Srsly

Heh, probably. They just want... Well... I guess I'm really not sure. Just something more, aheh, generic.

[solarbird]

Yeah, that's not the kind of goin' up I do. -_^

Yes, this is the kind of rejection you flaunt.

Like when the Arrogant Worms were reviewed as having "Too much Canadian content."
