Upcoming and Flickr …?!
Looks like all the back-tagging of stuff I’ve done hasn’t worked so well: Flickr recognizes the tags towards Upcoming, as here in my example, but if you go to the corresponding Upcoming event, it’s not been spidered. Even worse, surfing via that Upcoming-oriented Flickr tag merits … nothin’. [If you’ll look, every photo I posted in my set from the Mercy Lounge show is tagged appropriately.
Great concept, but … one out of three is bad. ![]()

All my issues with Upcoming and Flickr were of my doing. Many thanks to Andy Baio for taking a personal interest in my stuff, getting a certainly-deserved NIPSA flag pulled off of my account, and getting me back in the game. Above-and-beyond my e…
