Actually Spain was perfect for seeing live music because there was so much else to take in--different country, different culture, etc--in addition to the music.

In fact, at this point, I honestly believe it's something deeply pathological, because even when I WANT to see the band, and even when I'm already there either because my own band is playing or some miracle got me out of my house, I usually end up outside the venue, listening from the street because it's less crowded. Obviously that diminishes the enjoyment of the music and the show, but it's just how I am now, for some reason that I'm not altogether comfortable with. I just hate crowds with a passion, especially in a small enclosed space. Maybe if there was a show I wanted to see somewhere bigger, like Numbers or something ridiculous like that (but not the Summit), I could stand it, but when I go (especially) to the Proletariat for instance, it just drives me batshit crazy to be in there with a loud band playing, in that relatively tiny enclosed space with ALL THOSE PEOPLE...

Looking to franchise in Houston. Very few practices, only three songs per set, good sense of rhythm a must.
