                  Wednesday - 6/28 - Intro - Last week’s beach hotel/bikini 
house music set has left some of us in the mood for _ ___ _ _ _____ __ _ 
_____ __ ___ _____.  Electics, broken beat, downtempo, house and the Other 
Thing for Linda.  Music by Keith.  9p-midnight.  Helios, 413 Glenwood Ave, 
Midtown Raleigh
   
  Wednesday - 6/28 - More patio action happens under the stars on the hill.  
J.Sonel gracefully assembles downtempo and house beats and melodies for 
simple lounging at the café.  8-midnight.  Caffe Driade, 1215 E. Franklin St, 
Chapel Hill - www.caffedriade.com
   
  Thursday - 6/29 - Daliami - Mosaic is here and to inaugurate its first 
beautiful week of existence is the area’s latest dj night.  Daliami is a 
weekly passage which peeps sights around the world.  Like Natacha Atlas, 
chillin with Los Amigos Invisibles, while eating sushi in Stockholm during a 
Salif Keita performance.  As is global sophistication, the music behind 
Mosaic seeks to extend beyond our Glenwoodville borders; and to also connect 
the dots between rhythms for a proper greeting to this new lounge and 
dancefloor.  9p-1a.  Music by Keith.  Mosaic, 517 W. Jones, Midtown Raleigh -

  Saturday - 7/1 - Warm Up - Doesn’t take much to warm in July, but the 
monthly parties the museum throws definitely up the body temp.  Fresh works 
from emerging artists and a new funky outdoor installation treat eye and 
mind.  Meanwhile dancers kiss the sun as deep house music represents with the 
return of Body & Soul (www.bodyandsoul-nyc.com).  For NC locals, it’s worth 
the trip.  P.S. 1, Queens, NY, NY -

Just curious what people think about this:

I'd like to think that smoking really only becomes a deterrent at the
bigger shows.  When there is only a small crowd, then there usually
isn't enough smoke to bother someone and if it is, it's probably
centralized to the bar area, so non-smokers should be able to find a
suitable place that's less smoky.

The problem for me is knowing just how many people are going to attend
a particular show.  For example, The Shanklys sold no advance tickets
and close to 150 people attended.  The Subways sold over 120 advance
tickets and had only slightly more than The Shanklys..

What about this idea:  If Local 506 sold more than 50 advance tickets
(or whatever number seems appropriate, might take some time to
determine) - then the show would automatically become smoke-free?

If we knew how big the crowd was in advance, we could put up no-smoking
signs and remove the ashtrays.  And for our smaller shows, we can
operate just like any other bar (as we tend to do a decent portion of
our business after the bands finish on some of the slower nights.)

Let me know...glenn
