Yeah, the wrong way to word it, but I mean more popular bands outside of the national. Definitely catch quite a few shows at the camel but the diversity is lacking.

I don’t see this happening anytime in the next 10 years. If a band wants a big venue and guaranteed tickets - they’re just gonna play DC. We share basically the same market as Charlottesville / Hampton / Raleigh so unless they all collapse, bands are just gonna split them on different legs of tour and play DC when they get too big

I know. Lived in Athens, GA and made many, many, many trips to ATL for shows

I mean, it depends on what you like and who's touring. We do (have always) been passed as people go to DC or Norva. I end up at Broadberry or house shows. Really not much coming ATM that I'm interested in.
