I’ve seen lots of theatre at Source over the years—Psycho Beach Party with Daniel Escobar in 1992 is a stand out—but what I’m really looking forward to is Source being a multi-disciplinary venue, so in addition to theatre we’ll have dance, music, comedy, and pretty much anything else you can think of. One of my favorite things to do is listen to live music and I love all the different clubs in the area: Black Cat, 9:30, DC9, etc. However, I also love seeing music in alternative venues, i.e. churches, rec. centers, galleries, parks, etc. and now we’ll have Source as another great alternative space for live music. My friend Norm Veenstra who is a member of the instrumental rock band Tone curated a music festival at Source in 2003 called Speechless in which he invited several instrumental bands/artists to play sets, including: Amy Domingues, 302 Acid, Southkill, and Tone. It was an amazing evening and made me see what a perfect music venue Source is. Something Norm and I often talk about is how there are lots of people in the area who love seeing live music, but for whatever reason—age, “real” jobs, families, just can’t stand for 4 hours (which I guess goes back to the age issue)—don’t get out as much as they’d like to hear bands. With an 8:00pm start time, comfy seats and getting home before midnight, seeing bands at Source could be like going to see the NSO at Ken Cen, only much cooler and without that expensive parking.
