i have been on the east coast all my life.
i was just wondering are all the shows on the west coast huge shows that play big spots ?
CA. has a lot of big cities ,seems like a 40 milers would be able make a good living just playing still dates around any of the larger cities.
thanks



with it and all for it

RCS, Butler, Davis, Shamrock, Funtastic, and Midway of Fun are the big West Coast shows.

Helms & Sons, Christiansen (sp) are very good mid size shows. I see both of them a lot around Los Angeles. There maybe a few more. However there are a lot of fly by night outfits out this way, which I personally wouldn't want to work for.

RCS, Butler, Midway of Fun, Shamrock, and Davis are pretty much the dominating shows in the state.
