JULIE: JULIE ZENNER ALONG WITH DENNIS ANDERSON.

DENNIS: ROMAINE QUINN IS IN STUDIO TO TALK ABOUT HIS FIRST-TERM PRIORITIES.

JULIE: FILL AM MAKERS WORKING IN THE REGION.

DENNIS: THIS STATION UNWRAPPED A NEW LOGO AND NEW NAME AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE REBRANDING.

JULIE: COMING UP NEXT ON ALMANAC "ALMANAC NORTH."

♪ ♪ JULIE: WELCOME TO "ALMANAC NORTH."

WE ARE MAKING OUR WAY THROUGH JANUARY.

DENNIS: IT HAS BEEN SO WARM LATELY, THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD OUR TYPICAL JANUARY WINTER.

JULIE: LEET KEEP THAT GOING.

DENNIS: A CITY COUNCIL ELECTED JANET KENNEDY TO SERVE AS THE BODY'S PRESIDENT THIS YEAR.

KENNEDY IS THE FIRST PERSON OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN HERITAGE TO BE COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

ROZ RANDORF WAS ELECTED COUNCIL VICE PRESIDENT.

JULIE: THE JAIL IN DULUTH HAS BEEN CONVERTED INTO APARTMENTS.

IT HAS A MIX OF MARKET RATES AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING WITH 33 TOTAL UNITS.

DENNIS: A ONE-STOP SHOP FOR GUESTS TO CONNECT.

THE DONNA HOWARD COMMUNITY CONNECT WILL BE OPEN AT THE CENTER 206 WEST 4TH STREET.

SERVICES WILL INCLUDE A HOT MEAL, HAIR CUTS AND FOOT CARE, LEGAL SERVICES, VACCINES AND MANY OTHER RESOURCES AND SUPPLIES.

JULIE: IF YOU WANTED TO GIVE ICE FISHING A TRY YOU CAN DO IT FREE.

THE WISCONSIN D.N.R.

IS HOSTING A WORK SHOP AND ANDLERS CAN FISH ON ANY STATE WATERS WHERE THERE IS AN OPEN SEASON BUT MUST OBEY OTHER STATE FISH REGULATIONS.

DENNIS: PEOPLE ARE BACK AT WORK WITH THE START OF 2023 LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT.

FOLLOWING THE FALL ELECTION, JOINING US NOW IS ROMAINE QUINN, REPUBLICAN REPRESENTING THE 25TH DISTRICT.

THANK YOU FOR NOT ONLY WINNING THE ELECTIONS BUT A NEW BABY.

>> HE CAME IN.

I HAVE TWO NOW.

DENNIS: ROW AND.

NICE START TO THE FAMILY.

>> THEY KEEP US BUSY.

DENNIS: WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH DURING THIS FIRST TERM THAT YOU HAVE IN THE STATE SENATE?

>> LIKE MANY ISSUES WE TALKED ABOUT, THAT'S THE GOAL AS YOU HEAR FROM CONSTITUENTS.

YOU TAKE THEIR CONCERNS AND TURN IT INTO ACTION IN THE BUILDING.

THE START OF ANY SESSION IS THE BEGINNING OF THE BUDGET AND THAT'S WHERE YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH OF WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT BECAUSE IT DEALS WITH FUNDING AND TALKING ABOUT RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND BROADBAND AND WE HAVE A HOUSING CRISIS, NOT JUST IN RURAL AREAS AND NOW IT'S IMPORTANT TO SEE IF WE CAN GET PRIORITIES INTO THE NEXT BUDGET.

JULIE: ONE OF THE WAYS TO ADVANCE YOUR PRIORITIES IN THE LEGISLATURE IS TO BE ON THE RIGHT COMMITTEE.

SO YOU ARE CHAIRING A COMMITTEE?

>> AND HOUSING.

AND EVERY COMMITTEE I ASKED FOR NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE THE MOST DPLAMMOROUS BUT I KNOW THE BILL THAT COME THROUGH THOSE COMMITTEES WILL AFFECT THE 25TH DISTRICT.

NOT ONLY ABOUT PASSING THE BILLS.

CHAIRING THOSE COMMITTEES, I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT GETTING STUFF DONE.

DENNIS: WHAT COMMITTEES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SIT ON?

>> HOUSING, REAL ESTATE BACKGROUND AND UTILITIES.

WE KNOW ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IN WISCONSIN, CONSUMERS WILL SEE RATE HIKES HERE AND POLICY GOING FORWARD AND HOW WE MAKE SURE THE PEOPLE HAVE AFFORDABLE, CONSISTENT AND RELIABLE ENERGY.

ALL THE COMMITTEES I'M ON, I ASKED FOR AND I'M LUCKY.

JULIE: ANY BILLS YOU PLAN TO ADVANCE OR THAT YOU KNOW THAT ARE COMING UP THAT YOU ARE FEELING GOOD ABOUT?

>> WE HAVE A LOT OF HIGH LEVEL DISCUSSIONS GOING ON.

WE ARE FORTUNATE, WE HAVE A NEARLY $1 BILLION SURPLUS.

IT IS ABOUT MAKING FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES.

AND TWEAKING FOR SHARED REVENUE OR HOW WE FUND RURAL E.M.S., IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAY MAYBE WHAT WE HAVE DONE DOESN'T WORK AND HOW CAN WE CHANGE AND FUND SOME THINGS.

THE FUNDS ARE THERE AND HOLD PEOPLE HARMLESS AND TAKE FROM ME TO DO THIS AND THIS.

WE HAVE SOME EXCITING CONVERSATIONS GOING ON BUT SPECIFIC BILLS, REPRESENTATIVE ARMSTRONG AND I JUST ROLLED OUT INCREASING HOUSING RURAL, LOW-INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS TO $100 MILLION, TRYING TO GET DEVELOPERS TO INVEST IN LOW-INCOME WORKFORCE HOUSING AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.

DENNIS: ONE OF YOUR QUOTES IS PEOPLE BEFORE POLITICS, HOW DO YOU MEAN THAT?

>> PEOPLE GET FRUSTRATED WITH THE SYSTEM.

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE A LOT OF POLITICAL GAMES GO ON, HOW DOES IT IMPACT THE THAT I REPRESENT IT.

MAYBE EXPLAIN TO WHAT'S GOING ON BUT TO PUT MY CONSTITUENTS FIRST BEFORE THE GAMES THAT GET PLAYED IN THE BUILDING.

JULIE: IT'S NOT ALWAYS SERIOUS WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING.

ONE OF THE THINGS YOU ARE INVOLVED IS THE EFFORT TO GET AMERICAN BOOKBINDER WEEK ESTABLISHED.

>> IT'S A GENERATIONAL RACE FROM 118 COUNTRIES AND PEOPLE TRAVEL TO YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS AND NORTHERN WISCONSIN TO ENSCROI THAT RACE.

IT IS A HUGE ECONOMIC AND TOURISM BOON AND RECOGNIZE THAT.

WHEN I WAS IN THE ASSEMBLY, AND CAPTURE THE IMPORTANCE OF IT, RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF IT.

MANY OF THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES THAT COME ALONG WITH IT.

DENNIS: WHAT'S ABOUT BEING DONE TO HALT OR SLOW THE RISE OF PROPERTY TAXES?

>> A LOT.

WHETHER IT'S HOW WE FUND OUR SCHOOLS AND SPEND THOSE DOLLARS OR DRIVE THEM TO DRIVE DOWN PROPERTY TAXES.

AND SCHOOLS PASS REFERENDUM TO TAKE A BITE OUT OF THOSE INCREASES.

I DON'T KNOW IF THE STATE CAN DO THAT.

HOW DO WE FUND OUR OPPORTUNITIES, CHANGING THE WAY WE FUND THEM SO WE DON'T RELY ON LOCAL TO FUND THE SERVICES THAT WE ALL EXPECT.

JULIE: THE LEGISLATURE HAS THREE BALLOT QUESTIONS.

TWO RELATED TO BAIL AND ONE RELATED TO WELFARE.

TALK ABOUT THAT.

>> THE PALE REFORM ONE IS SUPER IMPORTANT ONE.

IT GIVES JUDGES THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE IN A NUMBER OF FACTORS WHEN SETTING BAIL.

WE ARE FINDING ESPECIALLY IN PARTS OF THE STATE, MAYBE NOT SO MUCH UP HERE WHERE CRIME ISN'T AS BIG AN ISSUE, BUT VIOLENT OFFENDERS ARE GOING TO COURT AND OUT ON BAIL, COMMITTING NEW CRIMES BEFORE THE NEXT COURT DATE AND JUDGES DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE IN SAFETY TO THE COMMUNITY OR OTHER ISSUES THAT 40 OTHER STATES HAVE.

WHEN THEY SET BAIL IS BASED UPON WHETHER THEY WILL SHOW UP OR NOT.

I MIGHT BE A THAT BIT TALL CRIMINAL.

WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION AND THAT SHOULD BE DONE LIGHTLY BUT UP TO THE VOTE ERSAN PASSED IT IN TWO CONSECUTIVE SESSIONS AND THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE IN APRIL.

JULIE: AND THE OTHER IS RELATED TO WELFARE.

>> WE HAVE LEGISLATION SUPPORTED WHEN I WAS IN THE SEE SEE HIMBLY AND CANNOT FIND PEOPLE TO WORK.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE PUBLIC IS STILL ON BOARD WITH US SAYING HEY, IF YOUR FOR INSTANCE, UNEMPLOYED.

WE KNOW THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES, WE WANT TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST LOOKING FOR LIGHT AND WE ARE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

DENNIS: YOU HAVE LOOKED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR LOCAL ROAD WORK AND BRIDGES.

>> ALL LEADS TO DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE BUDGET.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT THE GOVERNOR INTRODUCES.

A LOT OF THEM ARE SHARED BUT HOW HE IS DOING IT.

CALLING A 4% BUDGET OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

BUT IF I'M IN THE TOWN OF BAYFIELD, THEN I GET 50,000.

WHAT'S 4% ON 50,000 WHEN THE PRICE OF ASPHALT DOUBLES.

I THINK WE NEED TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND FUNDAMENTALLY LOOK AT HOW WE DO THINGS AND SAY MAYBE THEY ARE NOT WORKING ANYMORE.

AND I THINK THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN THIS BUDGET.

JULIE: VOTERS IN WISCONSIN PRETTY HAPPY WITH DIVIDED GOVERNMENT.

DOES THAT LEAD TO BETTER LEGISLATION WHEN PEOPLE HAVE TO COMPROMISE?

>> I DON'T THINK IT HURTS BUT MAKES US MORE DILIGENT WHEN SOMEONE IS TRYING TO TANK YOUR IDEAS AND MAKES US WORK HARDER.

BUT THERE ARE PRIORITIES THAT WE KNOW WILL NEVER GET DONE BECAUSE OF THE DIVIDED GOVERNMENT AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS.

I RESPECT THE FACT THAT THE VOTERS HAVE CHOSEN A GOVERNOR THAT I MIGHT NOT HAVE.

TRY TO DO THINGS THAT YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE NO.

DENNIS: SENATOR ROMAINE QUINN.

THANK YOU, SENATOR.

JULIE: GROWING BOON OF FILM PRODUCTION, SUPERIOR IS ESTABLISHING A NEW INCENTIVE.

WE HAVE MORE ON SUPERIOR'S CLAIM.

>> I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS FOR A LOT OF YEARS AND BEEN POPPING UP ALL OVER THE WORLD AND NOW THEY'RE MADE WHEREVER NATURE OR CITIES OR THE WORLD SHOWS CREATES A GREAT FILM SET.

AND SO THAT'S WHY YOU STARTED TO SEE SEVERAL COUNTRIES, CITIES, STATES, COMMUNITIES INVESTING IN FILM INCENTIVES BECAUSE IT BRINGS MASSIVE MULTIBILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY TO PLACES THAT HADN'T SEEN IT BEFORE.

THAT IS MORE AND MORE LOCAL.

CANADA HAD A MAJOR FILM INCENTIVE AND MINNESOTA HAD TAX REBATES AND WISCONSIN DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING.

REMOTELY SIMILAR TO THAT.

SO NOW THAT ST. LOUIS COUNTY HAS A FILM INCENTIVE AND ATTRACTING AND MAKING MOVIES IN DULUTH WE ARE MISSING OUT ON A MAJOR INDUSTRY DUE TO LACK OF INCENTIVE SES COULD NOT CROSS THE INDUSTRY.

THIS IS ALLOWING THE FILM INDUSTRY TO OPERATE IN SUPERIOR.

>> WIRVEG USED TO HAVE A FILM INCENTIVE.

THIS IS THE ONLY FILM INCENTIVE IN WISCONSIN.

>> WHAT IT DOES SAYS, IF YOU DO WORK IN SUPERIOR ON A FILM.

WE CAN REIMBURSE.

>> ARE THEY BUY THEIR GROCERIES FOR CRAFT SERVICES, THEY CAN GET 25% REBATE THROUGH THE TOURISM AND DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION AND THAT MONEY IS SUPPOSED TO BE PUN SUPERIOR AND SUPPORT OUR AIRBNB'S.

>> WE SHOT FOUR PROJECTS HERE IN THE REGION.

ONE OF THE MOST RECENT GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT HELPED LOCAL HOTELS AND CATER ERSAN THIS CAN EMBRACE AND COME ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND SUPERIOR RESIDENTS CAN BE INVOLVED IN THAT.

>> WHAT MAKES A FILM INCENTIVE UNIQUE IN SUPERIOR, WISCONSIN, WE ARE NOW PARTNERS WITH DULUTH AND FILMMAKERS BENEFIT.

>> WE WE ARE HERE AT ONE OF THE HOTELS THAT CAN BENEFIT.

25% CASH REBATE THAT IS LEADING TO PRODUCERS WHO SPEND THEIR MONEY HERE FIRST AND BRING A CREW IN AND STAY AT OUR HOTELS AND THEN GET A REBATE.

IT MAKES IT BETTER FOR US TO ATTRACT PROJECTS TO COME HERE AND WE ARE EXCITED TO PROJECTS THAT LIVE HERE.

>> IT IS ABOUT BRINGING VISITORS TO SUPERIOR AND TELLING THE STORY ABOUT SUPERIOR IN MANY ARTISTIC WAYS.

THIS IS PUTTING PEOPLE TO WORK IN THE INDUSTRY.

WE HAVE A LOT OF INDUSTRY WITH FILM.

OUR UNIVERSITY HAS A FILM PROGRAM.

WE WANT FOLKS TO WORK IN THAT INDUSTRY AND NOT JUST CREATETIVES.

WE WANT PEOPLE TO GET JOBS FOLLOWING THEIR PASSION BUT JUST ABOUT GOOD WORKING CLASS JOBS, UNION JOBS THAT IN AN INDUSTRY THAT DOESN'T EXIST RIGHT NOW.

>> AS THE SEEDS ARE PLANTED AND PEOPLE WILL SEE ROOMS GETTING BOOKED AND THAT WILL BE USING LOCATIONS AND HOPEFULLY GO TO A BROADER INCENTIVE.

>> I DON'T SEE A LOT OF RISK EXCEPT MISSING OUT.

THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE REWARD AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT SUPERIOR IS INVESTING IN A GREATER ECONOMY.

JULIE: 2023 MARKS A NEW PREVIEW FOR THIS NEW STATION.

THEY ARE REBRANDING IT AS ""PBS NORTH."

OUR CONTENT IS NOW AVAILABLE ON MANY PLATFORMS.

HERE IS MORE ON OUR BRAND IS THE DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, COMMUNICATIONS AND MEMBERSHIP SERVICES AT ""PBS NORTH"."

YOU WEAR MANY HATS.

>> I DO.

JULIE: THE MAIN CHANNEL HAS BEEN BILLING ITSELF AS ""PBS NORTH"."

SO WHY MAKE THIS FORMAL BRANDING CHANGE RIGHT NOW?

>> THEY HAVE KNOWN US AS "PBS NORTH."

AND WHILE THE TELEVISION HAS A LONG HISTORY.

WE WENT ON AIR SEPTEMBER 13, 1964.

IF YOU TALK ABOUT WDSE AND WE GREW UP IN TOWN AND TELEVISIONS WHEELED INTO OUR CLASSROOMS, WHEN YOU SAY PBS, THE LIGHT BULB GOES OFF.

IT IS A NICE CHANGETO BE MORE INCLUSIVE.

AND CALL LETTERS DON'T NECESSARILY MEAN AS MUCH.

AND THAT WAS THE MAIN AREA.

DENNIS: HOW MIGHT WE BE DIFFERENT UNDER THE BRANDING OF "-- "PBS NORTH."

>> MORE VISIBILITY IN THE COMMUNITY AND OUR NAMES ON THE SIDE OF VEHICLES AND AGAIN ON ALL THESE PLATFORMS, WHETHER IT BE A WEB SITE OR SOCIAL MEDIA AND SEE THE BRAND THERE, IT IS ACTUALLY THE PBS' SECONDARY COLOR AND WE USE THE STAR AND THE T THERE.

THAT IS THE NORTH STAR AND THE STATION HAS BEEN THE GUIDING LIGHT IN THE COMMUNITY AND LENDS ITSELF TO A SPARK OF IMAGINATION JULIE: IS TELEVISION CHANGING DRAMATICALLY IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WATCH A PROGRAM AT A SCHEDULED TIME AND PAY ATTENTION WHAT IS PLAYING ON THE TV STATIONS?

>> THERE IS A BIT MISNOMER THAT NOBODY IS WATCHING TELEVISION.

TELEVISION VIEWING IS AS STRONG AS IT HAS BEEN.

THEY HAVE GONE TO MORE IMPORTANT VIEWING.

I MIGHT NOT WATCH THE 6:00 NEWS AT 6:00 BUT WATCHING IT AT A DIFFERENT TIME THAT IS MORE CONVENIENT BUT I KNOW THE CHANNELS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ME.

AND EVEN THE ONLINE PLATFORMS, THE YOUTUBE VIEWING IS ON A TELEVISION.

PEOPLE ARE SITTING IN THEIR LIVING ROOM.

DENNIS: TALK ABOUT THE STORY TELLING THAT PBS PROVIDES.

>> WE HAVE A STABLE OF LOCAL SHOWS, "GREAT GARDENING."

"DOCTOR'S ON CALL."

AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THOSE CALLINGS.

THE "GREAT MINNESOTA RECIPE."

AND PBS PROGRAMMING.

THEY THINK IT'S A NETWORK BUT IT'S A DISTRIBUTOR OF CONTENT.

WE GET IT FROM THREE, AMERICAN PUBLIC TELEVISION, WEETA AND PBS.

PEOPLE GRAVITATE TO THAT.

WE HAVE A VERY LOYAL AUDIENCE.

THE FOLKS THAT WATCH NOW "PBS NORTH".

JULIE: WITH THIS SHOW, WE ARE FINDING WAYS TO SLICE AND DICE AND USE THIS CONTENT IN NEW AND CREATIVE WAYS.

WHAT KIND OF OPPORTUNITY DOES THAT PROVIDE FOR A STATION LIKE "PBS NORTH."

>> WE HAVE A SHORTER ATTENTION SPAN AND TAKE THIS SHOW AND MAKE IT INTO SMALLER BYTES SO PEOPLE CAN DIGEST A TOPIC.

AND A SHOW LAUNCHED ON DIGITAL BEFORE IT CAME TO TELEVISION.

27,000 PEOPLE THAT SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

AND PUT IT ON OTHER PLATFORMS.

IF YOU GO TO "PBS NORTH."

ORG, OUR SHOWS ARE NETFLIX-LIKE.

DENNIS: DOES THE STATION HAVE A MISSION?

>> ILLUMINATE AND INSPIRE AND ENRICH LIVES TO STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITIES.

AND SOMEONE TOLD ME THEY NEVER WORKED IN A PLACE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SO PASSIONATE.

AND THEY CREATED THE RADIO BAND WITH US AND IT IS A GREAT, GREAT PLACE AND PEOPLE MAKING GREAT CONTENT.

JULIE: JUST A COUPLE OF SECONDS, IF PEOPLE WANT TO FIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIA?

>> JUST "PBS NORTH."

DENNIS: THANK YOU, TOM.

TIME NOW FOR "VOICES OF THE REGION" AND HEAR ABOUT STORIES IN THE NEWS.

HEIDI HOLTAN IS HERE.

>> THIS WEEK WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT WILD RICE WITH TRIBAL LAWYER, DIRECTOR OF THE 1855 TREATY AUTHORITY.

AND HE IS GOING TO BE SPEAKING IN GRAND RAPIDS THIS WEEKEND, RECOGNIZE RECOGNIZING THE RIGHTS OF WILD RICE IS HIS PERSPECTIVE AND HOW NATIVE PEOPLE SEE NATURE AS EQUALS.

>> WILD RICE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CENTRAL PART OF OUR CULTURE AND OUR SPIRITUALITY.

WE HAVE A COVENANT WITH WILD LIES AND COVENANT WITH ALL LIVING CREATURES THAT WE CONSIDER OUR RELATIONS.

WILD RICE IS SO IMPORTANT THAT IT WAS REFERENCED IN 1837 TREATY.

THE 1837 TREATY SAYS THE RIGHT TO HUNT, FISH AND GATHER WILD RICE ON THE LAND THAT IS BEING SEEDED.

>> YOU MENTIONED THE COVENANT THAT THEY HAD WITH WILD RICE.

PART OF WHAT WE DO AND PUT A SPOTLIGHT AND SMALL TOWNS THAT ARE HAVING SUCCESS.

A FESTIVAL COMING UP IN PALO ON FEBRUARY 4.

THIS YEAR THEY WILL HAVE SLIDING, OF COURSE AND PERFORMANCE FROM MONROE CROSSING AND STAPLES OF THE FINISHED TABLE.

BY BRINGING THE STORIES TO THE RADIO, LISTENERS MIGHT BE INSPIRED TO DO SOMETHING.

LIKE CHRISTIAN MCSHANE, HE AIKEN IS A SMALL TOWN AND ONE STOP LIGHT AND THE POPULATION IS OVER 2100 PEOPLE BUT CREATING MUSIC EVENTS AND PEOPLE ARE COMING.

HE IS PART OF A MOVEMENT WHERE THERE ARE SEVEN VENUES.

>> IT HAS TO DO WITH THE PEOPLE AND SUPPORT.

AS LONG AS PEOPLE ARE SUPPORTING, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VENUE IN THE WORLD.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND IF THEY WANT TO SUPPORT IT.

I USED GRAND RAPIDS AS A TEMPLATE AND ALSO DULUTH WITH THEIR HOME GROWN FESTIVAL.

THIS YEAR WE ARE DOING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

DO MORE OF A HOME GROWN WHERE IT'S NOT ONE PLACE.

THIS YEAR, IT WILL BE DOWNTOWN AND GO TO DIFFERENT VENUES AND PAY WHATEVER AMOUNT AND SAY, I CAN GET INTO THESE DIFFERENT VENUES AND HELPS THE BUSINESSES, RAIN OR SHANE, YOU HAVE A SHOW AND AT THE END OF THE EVENING, THERE IS THE BIG, THERE IS AN OUTDOOR CONCERT.
