Hi hi hi,
Last week I found out about a show literally hours after I sent out this newsletter—something that hadn't popped up on any concert calendar anywhere. For as mildly annoying in the moment as it was, I realized perhaps Philadelphians (and folks outside of this city) aren't aware that there are SO MANY RESOURCES for concert calendars. I just counted about 5-6 while writing this. At the end of every newsletter is a list of the most consistently updated ones.
Yes, you can always ping me about your stuff too (reader mail rules, I love it), but don't gatekeep. If you're playing a show, aim to get your event on at least one of these things. It helps you, it helps me, etc.
Maybe partying will help,
