so it's trite but I think somewhat necessary:

if anyone hasn't noticed, the number of places to do all ages shows is pretty much slim to nill. around boston it's a triumverate of the same three places run by a handful of people that if you don't know, or if they do know you but you're not "cool", you're not in.

so I say stop gettin' fucked and playing $8 shows at dives not worth hanging out at and let's at least brainstorm a way to have more shows that are accessible to a wider, more diverse, crowd and ones that are cheaper. Also let's make it easy for the new bands to get on.

I say this cause all I can think of for boston show spots are:

the middle east
the ICC
disaster house
hoss
o'briens
chopping block
all asia
occassionally crusty craig's basement or elsewhere

there's gotta be a better smattering than that, I mean, unless I'm completely oblivious to other spots...

I feel bad when I see new bands starting and having trouble getting shows.
doesn't it seem like there should be a neutral, non-clique-oriented place to have shows? that are cheap and easy to get to, and open to whoever?

or maybe my head is really far up my ass, which is also a possibility.
