Bean me up Scotty, I'm not sure what's going on down here.

LW et al: Once again, great work. The more I think of the property boundary issue, though, it could present a problem. Fer instance, a joint with a large property that bounds a manufacturing plant or interstate. Any sound recorded there would be 'other' than music generated. Since the whole point is...

Heck, I've got a four track player and it works! Just 2 cassetts though-- a bootleg Cat Stevens and 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake' by Small Faces (with Rod Stewart before he was with just the Faces and before he was just full of himself)

First, lonewolf- big props on work so far. Think you've about 97.8% nailed most of this stuff. A few points. The use of the word 'outside' with speakers is a big red flag. I know, I know, it's sensible. BUT, is it a hill everyone agrees to die on? Some folks see the nice ambient speaker at the outsi...

Another effective place I've seen for flyers-- beer distributors. A few of the friendlier places. Check your fan base and see if any work/own one of these places. These folks can be great 'PR in place', especially if they can give backround/info on flyer or bring flyer to attention of patrons who fi...

As the next election cycle does indeed kick off Wednesday, maybe some sort of poll should be done of the current legislature. A general semi-specific gathering of their current stance on all the issues (and they, the issues need to be boiled down) that relate to independent business-folk (musicians)...

A soapbox, if nothing else is available, is not a bad place to be. May seem like I was being negative, but that's only where half my head and none of my heart is. I just think that particular idea is a tough row to hoe. I'm much more optimistic re: finding (or making) a receptive legislator (ultimat...

Even if it might be a good idea, I suspect it's a non-starter. Couple reasons. Volunteers (even if good) vrs. a paid full time system. An uneven match. The coverage of the times where the Plcb or State Police really screw up, well, it's just not life or death, and won't mean much to the media. (It's...

JP-- just to keep a bit of the thread straight: No law had to be changed to come up with these Code provisions. D-1's first post showed the regulations were adopted in 1970 and revised a few times. They could have been revised due to a change in the law or they could have just been revised because t...

Looks like Deviance1 has exactly the right provision. It's not a law but is from the regulations of the Liquor Control Board (which has the effect of law but is not a statute, it just means it's enforcable like a law is). The full cite would be 40 Pa. Code Section 3.52 Here's an interesting challeng...
