[QUOTE="Chowderquake:442417"]We're all on the same team when it comes down to it, so it makes sense to try to get a better perspective on things. I've been booking bands over at Great Scott for a couple years now and now that I'm handling O'Brien's as well, the more input I can get on a scene I admit to being fairly unfamliar with, the better. I definitely want to make sure that O'Brien's is still serving this community and I'd like to see us doing a better job of it. If we listen to customers, why wouln't we listen to bands? And just in case the discussion about all-ages matinees might have derailed the topic just a bit, I'm hopeful that bands looking for any kind of show will check in and let me know you're out there. We will be doing matinees for sure, just not sure when (or how) we'll be doing all-ages. But figuring out how to make it work for the venue so the owner can see the benefit of shutting down his drink sales AND make it worthwhile for the bands is the key. I know full well that bands are willing to trade some pay for a full room, but I kind of like to take that option away from them and make sure they get paid AND have a full room. I think too many booking people take advantage of bands' eagerness to get out in front of people. I think too many allow the bands to make sacrifices they know the bands don't really need to make. I figure that if bands know they're going to get taken care of moneywise with a good turnout, then they can put some extra effort into promoting because they know they'll be rewarded. Anyway, thanks for the input everyone. As I say, I recognize how vital O'Brien's can be for this scene and I want to make sure we're doing the best we can for it.[/QUOTE]
