One of the security guards at my work is going to try and rent a building on the east side of town to host a place where teens and college kids can come hang out and listen to live music. Through a chain of people, he was referred to me, asking about local teen and college bands, and I mentioned that I have a band of my own, Code of Conduct of course, that would love to be a part of this.
The paying would start out low, of course, since it'll be tricky at first to lure people here. But the great thing about this, unlike the Warehouse, is that it's not a church, so people won't have this conversation:
"Wanna come hang out and go to a local show?"
"Sure, where at!?"
"My church."
"Uh... oh... never, uh... never mind."
So, I'm helping this guy, Don is his name, to get this place set up as our "home base" of sorts. We play there when we wanna play there, we don't have to talk to people and hope they say yes. We get gigs, period. This'll be a great starting place for us. ;D
