a while ago there was a thread about IMP's, 930's, Seth's and merriweather's nominations in the 18th annual Pollstar Concert Industry Awards. looks like locals were shut out. the real kicker? Nightclub Of the Year: House Of Blues Chicago. then again they also selected Best New Touring Artist: Panic! At the Disco…

Been to the House of Blues in Chicago a bunch of times. The Metro is a MUCH better venue.

joe - nah, i don't research, i just happen to notice this story on pollstar.com's front page. i started the previous thread announcing the nominations and thought i should close the loop.
i don't have the discipline to blog, and i doubt many people would find me interesting. besides, there are tons of people who are already doing a great job of blogging the sh*t outta the music biz.

Hmmm….Sounds to me like HoBs paid out for a big favor, especially considering they are out to buy and conive their way into the DC concert market.
Yet another reason to boycott the HoBs!
