I think we need the venues first. Theaters with seats aren't good for the types of shows we should be getting here. We need a House of Blues-style venue.

As far as why Fresno vs. Visalia: It's mostly the promoter and his relationships. At this point, though, as I talk about in the article, Visalia has the reputation that people want to play there. Fresno can't just go and try to lure these bands here.
