I think bands can still do 2 tour dates, but as far as local bands and shows go, swapping them back and forth can be beneficial to both scenes due to possible cross over draws, which then leads to increased fan bases, or atleast a new fan base for if they play the other city next time.

As far as bands getting left behind, I can't speak for everyone but I book based on my tastes. If a good band sends me something I will book them. If the people can't along with me, or leave early or something else lame I probably won't deal with them again because I hate shit like that. I understand what you are saying about elitism and it will always exist to some level, the HOSS is probably a good example but maybe look at my chopping block shows that way. I tend to book bands that are on my mind, so the bands I talk to often are fresh in my mind more often and therefore get on more shows I do. Also bands I like alot tend to stay on my mind more often as well, when it comes time for show booking. I usually have an idea in my mind of what I want and build the rest of the show around that though.

Another hard thing will be, as far as it goes with me, is that I am looking to bring more non-new england bands to Boston (NY, PA, DC, etc) which will cut down on how often local bands play on my gigs, but for some bands they play too much now anyway so that might no be a bad thing.
