Very frustrating.

Did you follow through on the suggestion I made on your other post, about asking Petrina if she had advice? She had a huge following and still does, but it's at the clubs. I had heard 3 or 4 years ago, about the time I quit seeing Petrina at the squares, that TV was going to stop booking "a band in the box" artist. They do advertise live entertainment at the square everyday, and some people complained about going and hearing recorded music. The only exception has been Scooter the DJ, mainly because he has a following as big as the top bands. Here's a Scooter crowd at BW, do you think you could draw a crowd like this? The whole deal with entertainment at the squares is to draw big crowds for the restaurants and stores.
