Warehouse stuff:

As a lay awake last night, with thoughts swirling around in my head, I finally decided to write down a list of previously surreal (and still sorta is) ideas. I wrote down a list of speakers, bands, artists…performers to have at the Back Door!  Holy Wow…for a looong time, I have dreamed of being to hold concerts, meet artists, get to know the backstage version of what it all takes to put on these amazing concerts….and I’m actually getting to do it.  I know it may still be a while for some of the bigger names that I listed, but it doesn’t hurt to dream….I wouldn’t be where I am if I stopped myself from thinking and dreaming too much!  You want to see my starting list?  Do you want to add your own people?  Do it up man…post a comment and tell me some ideas you have!
