I'm cool with Boston. I do hope it goes back to New Orleans when New Orleans is ready for us.

I won't set foot in Fenway if I know the Red Sox are going to see a dime of my money... at least until Manny Ramirez is gone. Went to see the Stones there last August but I had comp tickets and was drinking the band's beer so it's not like the Sox organization made a dime off me.

I do know some of the technical people there so it's definitely not out of the question... but I can't do it if any money has to change hands with that organization [especially in the wake of Theo's departure].

Political shmuck that I am...

political schmuck?!?!!? My biggest problem with Boston is that EVERY SINGLE VENUE IS OWNED BY CLEAR CHANNEL!!!? Fenway isn't owned by them, but they do organize all the concerts they put on there. Cambridge is adifferent world, and CC doesn't seem interested in the clubs over there. But a99% of the venues in Boston (Orphium, Paradise, pretty much all of Lansdowne st, etc...) are Clear Channel venues.

If yer gonna be a political schmuck, realiize that CC has done far more damage to our business than downloading from college kids, or crappy music has done. They have also caused a lot of political trouble..

That being said, I look forward to TOC in Boston. For any after party gigs, the #1 bus to cambridge (Middle East, TT THe Bear's) is shorter and less confusing than the weird walk to Lansdowne st. Even with our own busses, it should be much simpler, just a straight line across the bridge. And they aren't CC yet.

Or at my restaurant, which is two blocks from The Middle East and TT's (the indie rock venues of Boston), and 5-min walk from my studio.
