RTP-area local music and culture

["Joel Peck" <joelpeck88 AT hotmail.com>]

These are all good points. It would be tough, no doubt. The experience and 
frustration is evident in your replies. Sometimes, it's best to take the 
past experiences and use them to help when trying again. With all the red 
tape involved in using student fees for local shows, is there a new strategy 
that could be devised that anticipates obstacles like the ones you 
mentioned?
There's a million examples to support "why we can't."  Any sense in changing 
the wording to
"Why can't we?"
