Tuck, and all,
on one hand I am happy that I have 6 great bands coming from afar
for the SG101 convention, the down side is, I can't have 3 outta town bands
and a Home/host band at a bar gig on the fri. so there has to be 3.
Which makes the decision even harder.

I want to get back to 4 local, and 4 away bands for next years convention,
but so many amazing bands want to come and play. I don't know how to do that.

And, yer right, the before and after shows,
with a local home town band help to make the SG101 weekend similar to the other 2/3 day/or 12 band gigs.

You get bar shows, Big convention show, with vending area, and the Big
HB pier show Sun. which is kinda like a Outdoor festival.
