I got curious about the show listings. Let's see what we can learn from 'em!

The hiphop scene is bigger than we realize. Amelia surprised me; they're really getting out there for such a new band.

Average price is $8.32, across 560 of 648 listed shows. The total cost to attend all of 'em would be $1482.
This is probably skewed upwards a bit by some of the really big Auditorium shows. Nonetheless, I think most shows are cheaper than they'd be in a larger city.
Which venues have the most shows, and how often are they all ages?Count Venue %AA
-------------------------------------------
168 The Apollo 11.31%
165 Kilroys 72.73%
50 Community Auditorium 100.00%
47 Jacks 8.51%
27 The Outpost 37.04%
26 Wise Guys 88.46%
19 GrannArt 100.00%
16 The Office 37.50%
14 The L.U. Study 85.71%
10 Alexander's on Court 0.00%
I think Jacks and the Auditorium are a bit low; we're not listing everything there. My own personal estimate of how many AA shows were at the Apollo was about half that; I think there might be a couple errors. Still, I'm impressed by how much has been going on at Kilroys. From not even being a venue a year ago, they've really gotten right into it.
