Zapp, why would Block Island be a long shot? It isn\'t far away, is a mini vacation for both fans + band and they could hopefully play two weekend nights if possible. Wasn\'t the ferry also free for the band as part of their contract to play there?
Unless Captain Nick\'s (or the other spot, can\'t remember the name) isn\'t interested, I\'m not sure why Bfast wouldn\'t put it on the top of the list.
