Vic, are there any anticipated shows that may fill the gap between S.F. and L.A.? If not, I can think of a place they could play on Wednesday, given no other ambitions for the night.
There is a gaping hole in their schedule in between the Tuesday in SF and Friday in LA. It would be crazy not to schedule a Santa Cruz or Santa Barbara gig. I even checked the website for Soho, the best venue in Santa Barbara, and they are wide open on Thursday Oct. 19th. Buquebus says there is no gap to be filled between SF and LA, and I don\'t really understand that statement, unless the band needs a rest during those days. And as for the gigs on the way back, clearly Atlanta, Athens, GA, or Asheville NC are the logical choices.
^^^I doubt it Al, it seems like the only gaps to be filled are on the way back home (Tempe>?>CT)
They should try to play at Jupiter in Berkeley on Wednesday (the place I took you and Chris to, where you drink beer outside by the stage). Not sure what type of money they pay bands, but it would certainly be better than not playing at all on that evening.
I\'ve actually been to Jupiter in Berkley, and it is a very small venue with basically no dance floor room around the stage, but it is a very nice venue - and a smaller venue might be ideal for a wed. night gig. I agree that that wed/ thursday needs to be filled and if there is no better option you might as well play Berkley. But also keep in mind I know a ton of people who live in Santa Barbara, and if they schedule a gig there I can bring a sizable crew to the show.
