Local musicians need a hand.
Not so locals working the road and living the "dream" need all the help you can give them.
I recently found a Meetup group dedicated to patronizing the local bands in the Orange County area.
Bravo!
One of the best in this niche has been McCabes of Santa Monica.

They are a guitar shop that present very intimate and inexpensive shows displaying a wide variety of musical genres...from Childrens Matinées to the very edge of cutting hipness such as Jill Sobule.
Local venues such as this need the support not to mention the acts themselves.
With the advent of social networking - ala Facebook and MySpace, musicians and the venues themselves have taken to spreading the word via the viral lifeline.
We can debate the positive and negative aspects of being so plugged in at another time; suffice it to say I find it intrusive and somewhat counter productive.
But to the word for today is - Support Your Local Venue.
