Dude, seriously, ADVERTISE THAT SHIT. At the very least, put it on your 
website & post it here. The #1 reason why I don't go to more shows at 
your venue is the smoke factor, and I assume that I'm not the only one 
in that position. I can easily stay up til 1:00 a.m. at the Cradle & 
then go to work the next day, but spending about an hour at the Local 
506 when it's smoky makes me feel like crap for the next 36 hours. So if 
it's a weeknight, or even a weekend night where the bands are 
good-but-not-great, I'm at the point where the feeling-like-crap 
outweighs the potential fun to be had.

So if there are even a few more people like me out there, then actually 
letting them know in advance that the show will be nonsmoking might make 
the difference between going/not-going.
