I think everyone has a right to offer feedback, whether you attended
or were in a band (or better yet, if you did not attend*.)  Candid
feedback can be very helpful in improving things - and I think the
people involved in Troika would welcome more of it.

* As I've told the Troika contingent, I have never attended a Troika
show.  Part of the reason is that I've preferred the offerings at
Local 506 (such as Juliette & the Licks last year) to my options in
Durham.  But I have found many of the out of town acts have played in
Chapel Hill not long before Troika making their appearance less-
special if you've already seen them - three of the five out of towners
that I recognize from '07 had played Local 506 within a year.  I'm not
saying that's bad, but if you're trying to get people from CH to
attend, you need to offer more stuff that CH hasn't potentially
experienced recently.
