Hey Seth

[slappy]

No, I don't love that part, but it does speak to the "feel" of a sold out show.  BC seems cavernous, especially at the back, most of the time.  It detracts from the excitement, roar of the crowd, etc. 

Part of the genius of 930 is the movable stage, which can be pushed back to create capacity when needed, or to be pushed forward to create more intimacy when a show doesn't sell as well.  I'm not sure if there's an industry standard for that, but I've never seen it anywhere but at 930.

This reminds me of something I saw last week that you can Google Map inside a lot of clubs around the world. Fun if yer bored or curious...

[azaghal1981]

Please do not follow suit with Bonnaroo and leave the Chili Shits off the V-Fest lineup.




Would rather not see this year turn into 2007 where those hacks headlined every major American festival.

Thank you.

Hey seth, at least a dozen bands you need to book coming or going from B-Roo.

[sweetcell]

hey seth and thatguy,

what did it take to make this happen?  nice one!



p.s. since i have your attention: a kraftwerk show, or 8, would be, like, cool with me.

[thatguy]

hey seth and thatguy,

what did it take to make this happen?  nice one!

on my end, it went something like this:

"josh, bring your camera and your caps jersey to kettler on this day." 

i watched practice.  i took some pics.  i laid down on the ice to get good angles.  mike green tried to steal my sunglasses.  mike, slapshot, and the rocker ladies were all lovely to work with. 

the behind the scenes stuff is above my pay grade.

Hey Seth, Robyn is supporting Coldplay on their tour this summer through the Verizon Center date.  I would love a 9:30 Club show either after the Verizon dates, or the off day 7/7...

[grateful]

Hey Seth, John Scofield is about to make a "big announcement"!  Any chance of a club date?

[azaghal1981]
