Ran a little poll last week about things you might like to see at The Auditorium and tried to offer a vary diverse set of choices. I was somewhat surprised by the winning choice: comedy. We haven't had a comedy venue in a long time in Jackson and that might be something that works. I wish the debate choice had received more votes as I think it would be pretty cool to have a formal debate, a la Firing Line where you could enjoy a mean and a brew while watching a serious debate about health care reform or Two Lakes. Wine tastings apparently received quite a bit of support as well and of course, concerts were a leading selection. Its about time we had such a venue in Jackson that offered the possibility of so many different events.

265% !?!?! New Math?
I allowed for multiple choices.
Comedic beer tastings, there's your draw.

If you want to get bigger, drink beer.
Nathan could do the truffle shuffle
What about the Kingfish Kourt? Best forum I can think of!
Scotch tastings!
Also, they should have a different artists stuff hanging up each week or two weeks or month or so.
The music in this town is a joke. Go look at pollstar.com and compare Jackson to every other southern city.
It's surprising too, being located right between Memphis and New Orleans, and sitting on I-20. Great bands probably drive through Jackson all the time, and never stop. Someone needs to start making them stop.
