yup, the Mid East is still pretty much the same as it was 4 years ago. they may not attract quite the same number of non-major label/booking acts as they did in the past, but that's largely a result of the Paradise's re-entry to the scene (along with the club i help, Great Scott, although we "compete" with the Upstairs room only). the Dise is really the only other 500-600 head count room in Boston metro besides the Mid East Down, so it will be around for a while, i hope. they're also promoting larger scale shows at the Somerville Theatre and Roxy now, which is cool to see.
yeah, that's prob. more info than you cared to get, eh?
good luck with prefix - alternatives to PFM are always a good thing in my book.

that was all pretty interesting stuff. i went to school at b.u. and i remember that paradise was primarily for eurohouse and not shows when i was going to college there. i haven't been back to boston in a few years but i had some good memories of going to newbury comics and in your ear in addition to wasting time when i was at college. thx for the words of encouragement. the site should be much better by year end either that or i'll be much poorer.
