What venues would they play if it happened?
In DC, it would be the new U Street Musical Hall. Chapterhouse would sell out the Velvet Lounge easily.
In Philly, it will be either the Blockley Pourhouse (650 cap) or M Room (300 cap).
The agent is asking a little more than I am comfortable offering, so I hope he bends. I doubt he'll get better offers elsewhere, though I could be wrong.
