Its Not Berlin but the Wall's Coming Down

Well Paris should be a tiny little venue by the beginning of next year. It will be somewhere from 125-150 capaciety. So intimate but sweet. I start booking it as early as now. Which has me a little nervous. Like what did I get myself into? Its going to be a challenge because its little but I think we can do some really cool things

Small venues are THE BEST. Trust. Big venues are a big pain in the ass and if you only sell 100 tickets they look cavernous and lame - small venues always feel warm and intimate and comfortable and they're the best to book and also to go see shows at. You should approach really big bands - don't hold back. You can sell it as "secret" intimate shows for the "true" fans, even if they already have a big show somewhere else. Tokyo Police Club plays a 100 cap venue here all the time under a secret name, sometimes the night before some HUGE show somewhere else. So do a bunch of people. We have a 100 cap and Fleet Foxes played there at the height of everything - it sold out in less than 1 minute & everyone talked about it all year. You are going to LOVE it! Let me know if you need anything!

I need your brain in my head! I have been having the same thought about asking bigger bands. I need to set up a time to just chat with you. Or do you im? We should im back and forth. I just dont know how certain things work....
