Saddle Creek isn't doing much right now (well, at least not with the good bands) except a bunch of shows at pubs and bars, which under a new law only people 17 and older can go in unless you go through this long application process (counts for one night, at one bar or pub, and you have to leave immediately after the show)

it was actually easier for ally (she's 15) to book herself at a pub than for her fans to get inside, which is why the new law sucks.

the money coming into Omaha by entertainment actually lowered by about 8% after the law was passed.

so, yeah. I'm pissed, but so is every other teen in eastern Nebraska.

I'm actually excited for you. There is something about that band that not many bands can achieve live. I think it's something like honesty

And won't Seattle be the 'hometown' show? They're gonna get all gushy
