Could this be success?

Well, once again the Marotta Hour series at the OSU Urban Arts Space went very well last Thursday, May 21. We had about 30 people out -- a big success in my world -- and everyone seemed happy, including the performers, who made a decent amount of money. At this point, I almost have to think that I am finally being successful at this new music promotion business. By eight months, any initial honeymoon period should be long over, and I am continuing to see new audience members at each show. At this performance, there were even people who left. This means that folks are taking a chance on these shows; it's not always the same people, the initiated.

I'm still puzzled that with the series at an odd time -- 7 p.m. on a Thursday -- and in a bad place -- downtown Columbus, which dies after 5 p.m. -- that everything seems to be working. Maybe by doing everything different, everything is in the correct alignment this time.

I'm not sure if I know how to deal with this.
