RTP-area local music and culture

[Doug Sutton <creeksidedls AT mindspring.com>]

Here's one customer who would go to a lot more shows at 506 if something 
is done about the smoke.  I've left a few shows really early because the 
haze was so sickening.  And I can name a couple of times that I bought 
advance tickets, and then just stayed home because I couldn't motivate 
myself to deal with the toxic cloud on that particular evening.

I agree with Grady that a visit to or through the bar area will be an 
ordeal, but a half measure is better than nothing.

It's bizarre that we even have to discuss whether we should make things 
a little less convenient for drug addicts, when the upside is the 
comfort, health (and presence, even) of the majority who don't enjoy 
breathing poison gas.  I think that Frank will tell you (maybe already 
has) that the policy change at his place was  a big success.
