that 20 concerts thing

[the_siobhan]

Somebody on my flist said they couldn't think of 20 live acts that they had seen and my brain fell out of my nose.

I started compiling a list a couple of months ago of live acts I've seen and posting them to my website. I'm currently at 150+ and I am nowhere near done.

In fact, I just thought of another one...

i think one of my pre-reqs for friendship
is that you can't count how many "concerts"
you've been to.

that might seem harsh on the surface,
but i mean really, a 4-month bender at a
single decent local bar would easily put one
over the top.

That depends. In the town where I spent most of my clubbing time, all of the local bands really, really, *really* sucked. I mean, *really* badly, to the point that two different clubs went out of business because they pissed off their regular clientele by booking too many suck-assed local bands.

The clubs that *did* stay in business were the ones that had the sense to give their clientele the DJ, the dance floor, and the opportunity to try to scam on one another that was what they *really* wanted.

(Of course, one of these was also the place where the manager tried playing Rave music on Saturday nights, and had the regulars sit on the dance floor and refuse to dance for the entire night about three weeks in a row, until the club gave up on *that* idea.)
