At the suggestion of my housemate (who is in a band at the moment) I will start recording highlights of all the LIVE MUSIC performances I go to see. November of 2002 will mark the one year anniversary of the birth of my Washington, DC metro area LIVE MUSIC compulsion. I have no doubt this blog is a great idea, for it: a) will make me keep stock of the bands and venues I see, which will be particularly helpful in the future as I approach doing the business plan for 'the club' , b) will hopefully serve as a reference for those people I know in bands, so they can check out my take on the vibe of new venues and perhaps get some unadultarated criticism about their own bands, c) will hopefully attract new converts to the DC Metro area LIVE Music scene, d) will serve as a website where I can direct the enthusiastic people I meet at bars who end up treating a band or bar like a 'one horse town', rarely venturing to new venues or ONLY coming to see 'their band' and 'their bar'.
