56. In addition to all the good things for other people

Mon Apr 2, 2012, 06:18 PM

Apr 2012

my one splurge thing for me would be to open a club for live music.

It would be mostly underground metal because that's my favorite thing but I would not rule out excellent country, pop, rock, hip-hop, etc...

Ideally, I would subsidize it to keep ticket prices low and make sure the bands got a good payday so they'd want to come to my club and there would be large audiences for them to play to. There would be lots of well lit parking and clean restrooms. I'd like to have the occasional festival (see Maryland Death Fest) on my property too so I'd need a lot of room for multiple stages and probably facilities for camping and such.

I'd make sure I hired top quality sound guys and buy state of the art equipment so nobody has bad sound and the audience gets a good show.

And I would get pictures with all my favorite musicians.
