hey, you need to understand where i'm coming from; maine. i'm in fucking
maine. it's hard enough driving to boston for every concert i want to see,
so when the one concert i want to see more than any other is in providence,
i get a little frustrated. i like lupo's... i saw my favorite concert ever
there a few years ago, but coming out of a concert and then having a 3+ hour
drive ahead of you is a little depressing.
plus boston is a lot more fun to visit than providence.
as for more bands skipping boston in favor of providence; that won't and
shouldn't happen. the show at lupos didn't even sell out, while the one in
boston at the middle-east earlier this year sold out nearly a month before
the fact.
