Hello gents, I hope this isn't too much of a self-promotion, but I'm trying to book some solo gigs over the summer, for a possible mini-tour around a few states. So I was hoping to find some recommendations of your favorite venues in your area, or even your favorite venues that aren't so local for you. I'm trying to head towards the East Coast (from Ohio), but also looking at heading towards and through Chi-Town, up towards Wisconsin, that area. Anyway, thanks in advance!
Matthew

As far as back up north where I'm from, the First Unitarian Church in Philly is probably my favorite venue I've ever been to.

Dear god I miss the Magic Stick!!! Saw a lot of good shows there too! Fantomas, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Stinking Lizaveta... St. Andrews is pretty great too, but when I live in Michigan I had to drive from Muskegon to Detroit for shows if they weren't in Grand Rapids at the Intersection or the Orbit Room (I did see a couple great shows at a place called the Subculture, which was basically a two story house with the upstairs a venue and the basement a gay bar... saw Burning Airlines and Faraquet in 99 and System of a Down in 98. Cover was usually 8 bucks! I don't think it exists anymore, though.)
Around my neck of the woods there's the Local 506 in Chapel Hill, Cat's Cradle in Carrboro and King's Barcade in Raleigh.

The Church in Philly is theee shit, love that place. If you're looking for something a bit smaller Elena's is pretty sweet, they've been booking some psych acts their lately. Danger Danger Gallery would also be a good choice, and I dig that they're all ages (all 3 places)
