hey i've actually never heard of anything like that,maybe you should start it.(and contact small venues about concessions on group bookings) you never know, it'd be a good way to get people in. alternatively, you could start going to small local gigs/clubs in whelans and the like a bit more.you'll probably start to notice the same heads all the time.they're good people. maybe tell this discussion board when you're next planning on going to a gig and ask if anyone would join you?

Go over to the thumped board and spend a while getting to know people there. Then go to a Ballroom of Romance gig (or gig of any of the bands there) and meet them in real life
