Casey Smith: And they--they know that they made a lot of money in Rich’s show last year--er--
Unknown VPAC Member: Yeah.
CS: last year, so…
UVPACM: Yeah, I already told them that.
CS: …compared with last year. So, ah-it-it’s an ex--it’s extra money in their pockets after they just did the tour, you know? They might even be suff--not suffering for money after the tour, but, you know, so, it’s like…
LeAnne Piepiora: What we should take them…
CS: Well, yeah, it’s just, like, they tr--they--and they know it’s cool here, you know, they’ve been playing here the last, you know, few years, they like it.
Justin Cole: Yeah.
CS: I think they’ll go for that.
LP: Yeah.
CS: I mean, they’ll probably--they’ll probably want the few thousand dollars, um, in Fox. They’ll go for that, I think, over--
Cam Tanguay: Yeah.
CS: Um, ‘cause they--‘cause they’re doing Boston, and they’re doing Northampton, which is, you know, we’re right smack dab in the middle…
CT: Yeah, yeah.
LP: Yeah.
CS: …of those two close places.
CT: Yeah (indistinct).
CS: So, they’re--we’re not gonna get much public draw. No one’s gonna wa--wanna go to a college to s--well, I mean, granted, it will be a lot cheaper. Um…
UVPACM: Yeah, that’s true.
CS: And, people will still go to Boston events.
UVPACM: Yeah.
CS: It’s at the Paradise and stuff like that, we can’t compete with that. So...
CT: Alright! Uh, Justin, go!
JC: Well, we should put the barriers out, and then maybe in addition to cut down the..cost, we could do a floor show. Know--we know that they’re gonna do it--they’re gonna do that anyway. And that might be, like, a chance--and I-I know it’ll still look like a gym, but that might be a chance to kinda, like, broke this set on it with--
CS: Wait, where could we do this?
LP: A floor show.
JC: Uh, Cumnock.
LP: Yeah. Put the barrier--you know, put the barriers out. That’s, like, space, and then just move it down from the stage. Because, like, we know they’re gonna be having cross to right--
LP: And that was sweet when they did that last year!
JC: And that might--that might be a r--yeah, and that would, like, that would create, like, a really cool intimate, thing, kind of like a coffeehouse type of thing, and I don’t know, I feel--I feel like it would fit that thing, that--that, vibe, I guess, and, like, it would make the place seem a lot more packed and, I don’t know, have them fighting over it…
Dan Sullivan: (laughs)
JC: …even in the middle of the crowd, or, actually in front of, like, a sitting crowd…
CT: Yeah.
CS: We could make this, like, “A Night with Good Old War” type of thing, and have people sign up for it. Like, you have to be the first…one, like one-fifty to sign up, you know, and those are the people that get the wristbands. Like, you have to sign up, you know?
CT: I like that.
CS: You know? So, like...
JC: Have the audience sit, and then maybe give them, like, a couple stools, in front of the stage, or something, in front…
CS: Not even, no--not even sit, like, we want people dancing.
JC: Okay, so put them on the stage, the stage…?
CS: No, not on the stage, no, just, like, a normal show, but, like…
LP: I think that part of it is that it’s only stat--
CT: Casey’s back where The Common is, so…
CS: No, we’re at the common.
JC: Ohh! I’m sorry. (laughs)
CS: We’re talking about the issue, it’s--the-the only problem with The Common is that there might not be enough space to have everybody in for free. So, I’m saying, like, you--we send out an adver--like, an advertisement, invite--Facebook invite, blah blah blah, whatever, like, as much as we can, and we say, like, the first a hundred and fifty people up--to sign up for this, like, e-mail, sign up, like, will get into the show, like, you have to sign up. It’s just, like, first come, first serve. They’re doin’ it like All Meets Bob, like Old Meets Music, like, you know, Good Old War featuring go there, they’re playing one time, and you have to, like…
LP: So how are people gonna try and go and topple them?
JC: But, even if--even if we’re not charging money, can we still open off part of…
CS: Yeah! It’s just you have to sign up, y-yeah.
JC: Yeah, y--can we still, like, separate The Common?
CS: No, you wouldn’t...
CT: (indistinct)
