You're not perfectly honest. A quick search of your posts since october indicates you've been to many more than 2.

I dunno, I've been thinking that we're actually doing much better now for touring bands than we have at any point in the last 10 years. You're never going to get every tour by every band but we're getting a shitload of stuff that would never have came this way in the past.

Just look at the acts the AECC has had in the last year or so, it's never been as good as it is now for big acts. The Tunnels and Moshulu have been booking their socks of for a couple of years now as well and I can only assume that now the booking power of Barfly is at Moshulu it will only get more acts, not less. Then there's the Music Hall and Lemon Tree (once it re-opens) as well which always get a few solid acts.
