Thank you brotha, and I'm glad the newsletter is giving some sort of value. Yes, I am in a fortunate situation whereas I get to experience Freestyle events of different sizes. In just 2022 alone I've been able to experience 20k audiences at the Queen Mary outdoor event in Long Beach, CA. 15k Arena events in Philly, a 1400 capacity theater in the Bay Area, a small 800 capacity night club in Orlando, and a private party at a banquet hall in Chicago that had about 200 people. I have zero complaints about the shows I do with my girls, but those who do complain, are usually those that don't share the same experience... though I wish they could. Where do you live Marcus?
I live in Tampa. Concerts that are expected to attract large crowds (not including stadium shows) are usually booked at Amalie Arena downtown, the Yuengling Center (roughly half of Amalie Arena's capacity) across town at USF's main campus or at the MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheater. Performing arts centers, clubs and other small music venues get the rest.
I never thought about the variety of venues for freestyle shows until I read this. You have a point. Shows at venues that are more intimate than arenas are bring a different feel. I've enjoyed the arena shows I've attended (including the Legends of the Old School concert I saw at my alma mater, USF, in December 2015 that TKA opened), but I would love to attend a freestyle show at a smaller venue one of these days just to have a different experience.
