This would (1)give the GCB street-sweepers an evening out not knowing what to expect (2) give some unsuspecting band/act a larger interested entergetic audience(we're music lovers genre be damned) and (3)the venue picks up $$$$$. $10 per cap = 2 drinks or 3 beers so reasonably $500-1000. Individually we are each out less than $25 and 4-5 hours from our lives creating some legitimate unbiased noise on the scene. After a time or two I think the Carma would come home to roost and we will have heard some acts/people we would have never seen on a bet. FIELDTRIP!! | I would sign on to this, but the biggest problem here is that when it comes to removing money from individuals to support a cause that is where the money talks and bullshit walks. Except for those who live out of the Tri State Area I would be willing to bet that out of the "Locals" less than half would even cop up $5.00 let alone $25. I could be wrong, sometimes I am but I would be willing to go out on the limb with this one and say I am dead on. Great ideas often fall upon deaf ears of those who scream the most when it comes to being "Committed and Supportive".
