Ramona Will Have Its Green Jellÿ
LMAO!!!!....lol....the only reason any of these shows followed Joe is because he is willing to pay a lot more then anyone else. The majority of the bands he books no one else books because either they don't draw, or they draw a bunch of 10 year olds. I have been hanging at the Turtle for a year and in the short time he has not been booking the place is 110% better. No more crappy screamo or 10 year old bands. There is a nice mix again. Don't get me wrong I like metal, but not every show. BTW, 90% of Joe's shows bombed. This is coming from a sucker who paid $15-$20 to hang out with 20 people on most of his shows. There is not a lot of options in NC. I think maybe Joe forgot that the bar makes it's money on booze!! I have a lot of friends in bands that simply stop playing the Turtle.... These bands are now stooked they have their Turtle back and Joe is gone. My last point is this, if Joe was so great why did he end up in Ramona. House of Blues, LOL..... I think this guy seriously needs to get a clue! I feel sorry for the owner in Ramona. Thanks Turtle for taking out the trash!! P.S. Molly Malones might be a dive bar but from what I've seen they are always packed and Mainstage is maybe 30. Joe Troutman is the best thing that ever happen to Mollys. Now no one will consider Ramona Mainstage and head right into Mollys. Don't forget as well, NO BOOZE at the mainstage. Hard to enjoy a show without my friend Jack!— October 22, 2009 6:25 p.m.
