Some friends and I are going on tour, through the United States, with
a sort of off-kilter, quirky lecture series that's been very
successful at home.
We're tying to book venues in a number of cities. The venues we're
looking for would fit the following criteria:
- Capacity of 40 200 people.
- Serves drinks
- Has booked, in the past 3 months, at least one band, and at least
one act that is not a band.
I'll pay 5 bucks for the names, addresses, and phone numbers of three
clubs in Buffalo, NY, that fit the above criteria.
Depending on how this goes, I'll try and use Google answers for the
other towns we're booking as well.
==================================================
Some notes:
This is my first time using Google answers. It's a somewhat subjective
question, so I've tried to frame it in a way that makes it answerable.
I'd love any feedback or suggestions on how to make the question more
G-A-Friendly.
The club criteria are meant to formalize a gut-level feel of what
we're looking for. The gut feeling is more important, of course, but
the criteria must act as the guidelines. Just so you know: It's an
intimate cabaret feel we're looking for. Places shouldnt be too big.
We want to play in bars, rather than, say, bookstores, or community
centers, or theaters, or lecture halls. At the same time, we assume
that clubs that only book bands wouldn't want to book us. Small music
venues that occasionally do spoken word, or readings, or theatre, are
probably just right. There may be places that don't quite match the
above requirement, but that would work for us. I'd be glad to hear of
these, but dont know how to define criteria for them.

Apologies for the stingy fee for this. If you knew what the budget for
this tour was like, you'd weep with pity and give us your old clothes. |
