something more? Toyota Music Factory is BADASS. i mean, BADASS. except the low number of bathrooms, but even that hasn't proven to be an issue for me. it's a smaller venue, which obviously is a factor here (with the band).

I understand what you are saying. Dallas as a whole is awesome and the Perot Museum is one of the coolest museums I have ever been to. Yes, as long as you are inside the fence you are pretty safe. The area though doesn't exactly put Dallas's best boot forward (I had to... I don't even own a pair of boots).
My thing though is, I think the venue itself heavily influences the band. You look at places like Alpine and SPAC and Gorge and the shows they get and the way the band feels about those places. I wish Dallas had something close to that. I will say, the venue does influence me some too. There is something about Gorge and getting to spend a day in great weather surrounded by beauty. Dallas, you send the day in hot weather surrounded by poverty. It sucks, I wish we could change that. Not just by moving the venue but by making the city as a whole better but that is an entirely different discussion.
Yeah, Toyota is really nice. The band though won't fit there (yet).
NYC is a ton of fun to visit. I don't have any real desire to live there and yeah, it's dirty. 8.5M people in a small area will do that to a place.
