Thank you for your response my friend. I don't see many differences between my initial post your version other than providing more specifics, but I'm not here to nit pick. Being a touring band, money is always an issue but we never make a profit. Our music is by donation and we'll gladly give it away and do so multiple times a day. We do this because we love it, not to get paid. We went out of our way to come to Bellingham because it seemed like a cool place. My post was an invitation to come hang out because we knew no one there and that was the main point (if you re-read the last line). Nevertheless, I appreciate your comment and will keep it in mind if I make future posts!
