A 50-year-old man can only do so much! On the other hand, this gives the lie to the complaint you hear often: There's nothing to do in this town. On the contrary, there's a lot more than I can do ...

You could be an entry guide for many people who don't like jazz because someone told them it sucks. Maybe some people need this initial push. Maybe they will feel more comfortable having a familiar face around. I am just saying. I don't think it will infringe on your independence at all.kcmeeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640259113083899984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694480735393172006.post-19722700024076770552009-03-09T10:37:00.000-05:002009-03-09T10:37:00.000-05:00Both Jardine's and Sara Gazarek do reasonably good...Both Jardine's and Sara Gazarek do reasonably good jobs promoting themselves. <BR/><BR/>It's frustrating because the substantial subset of people who like both Norah Jones and Olive Garden (no offense intended to Gazarek or to the chef at Jardine's) would have been thrilled to have been present last night.<BR/><BR/>Yet the word "jazz" acts as anathema to those very same people. <BR/><BR/>Your thoughts, Meesha, are highly valued, but the last thing I want is for Plastic Sax to become a co-opted vehicle for artists and venues.<BR/><BR/>This site is valuable, I think, precisely because it stands as a rare independent voice in the Kansas City jazz scene.)Happy In Baghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03325328547476858000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694480735393172006.post-22747009800706723082009-03-09T10:17:00.000-05:002009-03-09T10:17:00.000-05:00I always feel sorry for performers who have to sin...I always feel sorry for performers who have to sing for an empty audience or, for that matter, bloggers (me) who don't get any comments. Wouldn't they be better off doing something like buy-one-get-one-free or whatever. 30 bucks per couple + food and drinks is not too expensive (we paid that much for crappy fork and screen) but people jump when they see value, even if it's just perceived. why don't they do a promo with your site, like $$ off for your readers. you'll get to meet your readers and buy them drinks(me), jardine's gets customers, performer gets an audience- everyone wins.kcmeeshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640259113083899984noreply@blogger.com
