Even, "Doing something," doesn't always make you better than everyone else in the end except for having different memories. To illustrate what I mean, I've seen the following bands play for crowds of 300 or less in the last five years:
Stephen Pearcy (Ratt lead singer)
Night Ranger
Firehouse
...and others
I'm not saying that's what those bands regularly draw, but I know a bar owner who has an outdoor venue and puts summer concerts together and he's always (no offense to him) making terrible decisions. Locally, he's just not going to have the drawing power for these bands to make money off of what he's paying to have them...even with the liquor sales. I think he broke even on Firehouse.
The funny thing is, he did midget wrestling with no cover charge and absolutely killed on the profits that night!
I'm done rambling now...[/list]
Someday, Midget wrestling AND Dwarf tossing will become Olympic sports... They will just have to curb the cigar sales during those events and shows... (Being athletes and all...)
