Alright, so I guess I should thank Joe (Thanks again, Joe). He was trying to be helpful afterall. It's hard to detect sarcasm over the interwebz. I was hoping he was being sincere, but didn't know if he was being sarcastic or what? I know his band played The Facement recently, but those other places he listed I had never heard of or knew they weren't doing shows anymore.
I know DIY spots in Des Moines are super thin, so it sucks when the main one puts operation on hiatus. I think people (myself included) sorta start to take places like that for granted almost. People don't often think of how awesome it was for the people who live at those places to provide their home for pretty much any band that wants to play.
I hope another such spot emerges, but realize that is probably also selfish of me to hope for. Sounds like others are looking for a place to books shows too?
