[QUOTE="ShadowSD:1214037"]They usually don't start booking the new year until at least December or January or later, so you wouldn't be able to get in for a while, but at the beginning of next year, you can try calling Mike at The Franco American Civic and Social Club in Windham and ask about renting The Outdoor Pavilion for a concert, as they own the property that it is on. Fair warning: it's a $500 flat rate up front with a deposit in advance, and again the venue does NOT provide a PA system, lighting, or make tickets for you, and they do NOT offer staff such as a doorperson, soundguy, security, or anything - except for a bartender upon request (although they may ask you to cough up an extra $100 for that). When you add up all those extra things that have to be provided by the show which the venue doesn't provide, it will easily run you in excess of a grand just in out of pocket expenses to put on a show there, so unless you have a bunch of bands that are all working hard to reliably pre-sell and bring a lot of people, it's a non-starter. The one upside in that regard at least is since the hall requires a flat rate, they can't ask for more money if the show does really well, which means the bands are able to keep 100% of the profit from their ticket sales (that's the way we've always done it anyway), and as a result so we've had some bands at previous CTMetalFests make $100, $200, $300, even $500 at this place just for playing a half hour set. I should also give fair warning before you consider booking there that there is no built in crowd or promotion engine for this venue either, zero - you could wait literally until you starved to death before a random walk-in showed up off the street because it's not that kind of area - so the draw is 100% what the bands bring through their own promotion.[/QUOTE]
