Joe: I'm sorry you've had such a bad experience with all ages shows. I'm very lucky to be friends with the hoss kids, but like all diy venues that place isn't going to last forever and I've been scrambling to find more places for shows (for the record the hoss is waaay harder to book then the all asia). Basements aside, anyone can rent a vfw hall, and once you do that its all a matter of bookings bands that people are going to come see. I book bands that I like, but I'm not going to book a show that no one will come to. If people aren't coming to your all ages shows then your prolly just booking bands that younger kids arent really into. I don't think thats your fault, or kids faults, but dont give up on these shows. I am pretty much appalled by %90 of what you post on this board, but I'm glad someone is booking metal bands in boston.

requiem: Thanks a ton for checking out which ever show you made it to. I try and not only book bands I like, but create an environment that everyone feels comfortable in. I dont know if we've met, but please feel free to say hi if you come to any more of my shows.
