I agree with Liam. If the place is a good place to play, then I'd go for it. I can't afford to be picky at this point in my band's career. We need all the exposure we can get. It seems a bit counter-productive to limit where you play because certain people will not be able to attend. What about the places that charge a cover? Are they not discriminating against the economically challenged? Or to get ridiculous, why perform at all if the deaf people can't hear you? I know we all have our convictions and that is fine but hopefully, people are taking action against what they find wrong and not just being passive-aggressive. Maybe Marion's friend could help put on a fund-raiser to raise money for the bar to add wheelchair accessibility.

As for my band and my a cappella group, we weigh what we'll get out of it in a non-monetary way. Exposure, a favor to a friend, a good cause. I do think, though, that people value more what they have to pay for. May everyone find great venues that pay well and offer free food and beer and can pack the house.
