Your wait will soon be coming to an end! We have almost completely redesigned our site and will be relaunching sometime this week. We'll have more updates as well as a big announcement shortly.

Hey Guys,
We have had our website offline for a few weeks now and was hoping to have it online a couple days ago. Not nearly as long as it's been.
Some of you who visit the site everyday (& we love you for that) have gotten in contact with us about the site status. So, I thought I would write this brief update for you guys.
A few weeks back we (Ben & I (Joel)) had a conversation about the popularity of Richmond Concert Guide. We determined after evaluating the stats mulitple times over the last year we have realized that we have lost some of our viewers since about June of this year (2011). We all know people won't visit an ugly site or a never changing site more than they have too (& let's face it... If you don't want to use our site you have at least 3 other options - including the venue sites). So, We had a plan to redesign our website and get it online by about February or March of next year (2012). But, In October our calendar had a major fatal error which made it impossible for us to add, edit, delete, or even view upcoming dates.
We've tried for about a month attemping to fix this and nothing worked (except for once for about 4 days). When conferencing about this it was determined that we should go ahead and redesign the whole site (not just the calendar).
This brings us to our next point, The Delay.
When we took the site OFFLINE we anticipated to have it redesigned and completely updated in 3 (or so) days... Needless to say we just weren't prepared as well as the thought. The site has had a complete overhaul but we had to replace the calendar which is taking much longer than anticipated.
Sorry for the long explanation but that's what's going on.
Thank You for your continued support I truly appreciate it!

WE WILL RETURN SOON
