Moogis: No Wanee Webcast, No Refunds Yet

Here’s what Butch had to say…

We have been working very hard to raise the funds needed to cover the shortfall from subscriptions. We thought we had it covered and the main reason we have waited this late to let everyone know was we only got the response from the sponsor we were counting on yesterday. Until yesterday we were still hopeful that we could pull this off. It has been mentioned that I need to give a full explanation of what has happened and what we are planning. That I will do next week. I need to clear the mess out of my head and write with a bit more reason than I am feeling right now. One thing I would like to point out to some of you that felt the need to totally flame Moogis and me specifically is that all of you who purchased the ’09 run were told that you would have those 15 shows VOD for one year. It has been over two years and they are still up. Same thing for the United Palace shows. What you purchased ran out the first of March but they are still up as well as the Wanee shows from last year. This year’s Beacon run will be up for at least a year and probably longer. I am personally making sure of that. No one is trying to rip anyone off. We simply ran out of funds and, more importantly, we ran out of time.

As big fans of watching great concerts from our couch, we really wanted to see Moogis succeed. While the future of the company is unclear, it certainly doesn’t look bright. We do hope, and it appears they will from Butch’s message, that Moogis finds a way to make it up to the subscribers who believed in the service enough to pay for the Wanee webcast months before the event. We’d also suggest that the company updates Moogis.com to reflect the current situation.
