greetings

I'm curious where you live (or your friend) that this is a problem. Bars, pubs and other venues around here (Orlando FL) are acessable as far as I know. Sure most of the doors are heavy, but patrons always seem happy to hold a door for anyone have a bit of trouble (try 2 guitars, a back-pack and a Irish drum). The U.S. "Americans with Disabilities Act" ahs changed a lot of places. Certainly not perfect (I know most of the ramps at intersections in my city are all cracked up or have large bumps that I wouldn't want to negotiate in a chair. All the places I gig at would be accessable I think, but I'm going to ask a friend in a wheelchair what she thinks.

Thanks for an interesting question.
