Re: [dcab-l] So what would it take to cross the river??

Glad you added! Perspective is what I was looking for. Its good to see discourse, rather than just posts.

Anybody else?

I can't believe I'm weighing in on this but I gotta say it...one of the sure-fire ways for a venue/show to become unsuccessful is to start telling people it is. It's a weird human nature mind thing that happens. Create the buzz that magic is happening there (which I'm sure it is... especially after last night!)
Just my .02 cents...

Just putting this out there, as Im thinking that the perceptions - or reality- of MD/VA being  separated by a WALL rather than a bridge is going to sink us all.

Week 2 of the DCBU FebFest at Earps Ordinary was super on stage:  Old Town Tradition (a VA band) early and Shannon Leigh and the GoodbyGones (Md band) put on a great show. Both are to be congratulated. 

But the house was about 1/2 full (my non official estimate: 75 folks). Many folks left after the first set. When a 'show of hands' conveyed that no-one left was from MD,- yup nobody- it was concerning. 

With the following events a worthy hall pass-
Tomorrows Robeson fundraiser (Get Tix info here); Ok, we understand (but show up next week!)
Nothing Fancy show on Thursday
That Anthem show (which might not be worthy of a hall pass)

Were those the reasons?

Perhaps you'd share your take with a response. 

Earps went through an extended remodeling and is looking to support acoustic music. Thats why DCBU tried to help out. 

Please weigh in!
