[atlantaprog] Re: Where was everybody???

Oops, yup, I have to again say I'm sorry for not showing up.  I have plenty
of excuses, I was hard at work on our band's project, but I do believe in
supporting everyone that I can.  I only hope that the shows had good sound
and at leats were enjoyable to play.  I can't tell you how many times we've
played at the Somber for 5 people.  We just considered it a dress rehearsal
for other shows.  I can say from experience that these places don't have
much (if any!) of thier own traffic.  You literally have to bring your own
crowd, which really sucks.  Just use it as a dress rehearsal and aim for
one of the regular venues that actually have people there every night.
Again, sorry!
