While I actually agree with you that $5 is too much, I would think that in
Pittsburgh it would be less of a deal because there are less alternatives
and if they want to drink at a bar while listening to that specific kind of
music with their friends, they'd have to suck it up and pay. I don't go to
bar nights that charge a cover, whether they have a DJ or not, because I
think it's stupid to charge me a cover to sit and drink and listen to some
DJ. But I can always go somewhere else to sit and hear my spo0ky deathrock
for free. Those culture nights have to keep the prices low because there are
a handful of them out and about and within a reletively close distance,
right?
