[GLLUG] Beer Track?

[Richard Houser]

I thought the space issues and the $$$ were enough to kill any 
consideration of such a thing, but sometimes I'm a bit too subtle.

Anyhow, I forgot to mention that most equivalent bands based in the Troy 
area will be closer to $1000.  There are a lot of bands that drive in 
just for the higher pay in the area.  If you did want more affordable 
entertainment for something near Troy, you'll probably need to bring a 
group in from a surrounding area.
