So, this isn’t meant to sound snarky… so don’t take it like that. OK?

Why the heavy hand with calling this a “benefit show”? Are folks more likely to go to what already sounds like a pretty nifty event if it’s called a “benefit”? Or just more willing to pay $20 instead of, say, $10 or whatever?

Just wondering why “Vox Pop Presents…” wasn’t enough. Again, not snark, just curiosity about the psychology.

I would think Benefit implies that the artist are donating their time/appearances for the show and it is a fund raiser for the venue.
As opposed to a show with a cover charge, were the artists would presumably be paid in some way (a percent of the door take, flat rate, food, drinks, whatever).

In the dead of winter a hot loaf of bread is a breath of fresh air. Focaccia is a non-baker's friend. Its just pizza dough with extra oil. You don't have to knead if you have a food processor, […]
