Yes, and I'd rather Dave Matthews Band in their small, hometown club, TRAX in Charlottesville, VA than in the 18,000 seat Nissan Pavillion, but those are the breaks when a band's popularity and audience grow. If playing a less intimate club means more success for EFO then I'm I'll for it - can't wait for Wolf Trap this summer!

I'd have to whole-heartedly disagree. While it may perhaps It's my understanding that "DD" in Jess's message means "designated driver", and she's teed off that The Man is hanging arround arresting people for being drunk in public or something. (Which DOES strike me as kinda lame. Don't they have anything better do do in LA?) I think we all agree that driving drunk is a VERY VERY VERY BAD THING [1], stopping DUIs is necessary, and random checks are a fair and effective enforcement tool. - --nicole twn [1] Hugs to you, Will, if you're still out there *** "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."--E.W.

I'm very against drunk driving, myself. What they are doing is targeting bars and music places to nab people for being "drunk in public" the people they nab (in general) have designated drivers and are jsut walking to their dd's cars. They may be intoxicated but they are drinking responsibly. Sorry for the confusion. :> Jess - ----Original Message Follows---- From: Christopher Moesel To: Jessica Brown CC: edheads@efohio.com Subject: Re: CA Edheads: Fall tour Date: Fri, 03 May 2002 15:15:34 -0400 > Another problem with the house of blues is that the one in Anahiem has a > slight problem with police.

I hope that I'm misunderstanding you, but it sounds like you're suggesting that policemen aggressively preventing drunk driving is disgusting. I'd have to whole-heartedly disagree. While it may perhaps be annoying to the sober guy who also gets followed and tested, I think the benefits far outweigh the annoyances to a few people. I would much rather have a policeman stop a drunk driver before he's driven 5 feet than after he's driven 5 miles and into the car of an innocent victim. I think that more policemen should be doing things like this. Your average intoxicated joe-schmoe is much more likely to do the responsible thing and call a cab if he knows there's a policeman waiting outside the door. That is a very good thing. Like I said, I hope I'm just misunderstanding you, but I had to speak up. I've never lost anyone to drunk driving before, but I'm scared to death that someday I might. > > HOB is really slimey, i have to agree with Ron on this one. ;) > This I will definitely agree with, however. I try to avoid the overcrowded, atmosphereless HOB in Boston as much as possible. I'd much rather continue to see EFO in places like the Iron Horse and Club Passim. =) My first EFO show was at Club Passim and boy was it amazing!
