    Just a warning -- I have seen these started oh so many times (a city of 150k here and seen about 10-15 sites... there is not THAT much happening here).

    Your main barriers are:

    - Bars, bands, and event people are SURPRISINGLY lazy about posting info about their gigs online. If they have been putting it in x underground paper forever, you need to convince them your stuff is better.

    - People who go to these things are also used to looking at whatever local underground paper you have to know where to go ... so you must retrain them.

    I havent seen anyone pull it off here yet, but the execution has been poor. Its a catch 22 in a way as well. No one will post info if no one is reading it, and no one will read it if no one is posting info.
