In point of fact, what began as an off handed joke about the fact that Pinewoods never even ackowleged getting our demo has raised a lot of hackles. Now, generally when folks get all hot and bothered (I'm not about this) well... you know the rest. As to Bart's suggestion, been there, doing that, but this is New York. Nothing is cheep. We were the house band at a venue which we brought the first music to... and the city buracracy finally closed them down. As far as organising, the caberet licences are a really killer of culture here.
All the best Larry
