They canceled the concert in Boston not because Garnet had any problem getting there, but because some people who shouldn't be out driving might get killed trying to make it.

I'm one of those people who'll get on the road no matter what if I want to be somewhere badly enough. Garnet in Maine, at a venue where I'd be sorely distracted by fantasies of pouring a beer over someone's head, is not enough of a temptation. Not when Garnet plays 15 miles from my house in better weather.

Dave, a hint: if you want people to come to your concert, try being nice. The shanty session thread with your big ol' 'fuck you, Maine and New Hampshire folkies' in the opening sentence ("Since Charley is obviously not above hijacking other posts to his own ends, I'll reciprocate. To those offended, I appologise (not)."), just doesn't work for me.

If you have a show, with an audience and everything, have fun. If anyone from here goes, please let us know how it went.
