i don't know if i could deal with living at a venue. i did that a few times many many many moons ago. it was cool at first, but then the whole punker than thou equals pissing in my living room got pretty fucking annoying. or drinking till you vomit.. all over the super hard to clean stuff. i don't know. i guess i sold out when i realized that i like knowing exactly what bodily fluids are, and more importantly, are not on my couch. that. and kicking people out of a bar is a lot easier at night then kicking people out of a house. the last house show i went to violent society was playing. and some 15 year old girl getting finger fucked somehow managed to follow us through the whole fucking house. the whole ordeal just made me feel sleazy and old. and way creeped out. i really didn't care for the whole "punk rawk! lets set the house on fire!" thing either. i almost beat the shit out of those kids and it wasn't even my house.
as for the bands. i don't know. the queers were pretty cheap. there are a bunch of bands out there that'll play fairly cheap. hell. sham 69 played a squat when we didn't feel like paying them 2k cause pursey's no longer in the band. i think i remember agent orange being on the cheaper side too. i hear the turbo ac's will play for about $350.
nevertheless, good luck. for your health i'd advise investing in lots of plastic wrap type shit.
