in starting out with getting gigs, and building up a fan base, i'm finding more and more it's a huge financial risk to take your event to a club on the initial gigs. i've been looking up event spaces around atlanta, and even the cheapest is ~$700 for a 5 hour slot with a PA included. with a small fan base this is a huge risk as it would mean either: 70 people @ $10/head or 140 @ $5/head, and that's just breaking even. so i'm wondering if any of you out there have found a good (read: cheap, cheap is good ) place/method for hosting events in places other than the typical club or bar. although i'm all for putting up the money and risking it all for a little exposure - money is hard to come by these days so the loss would hit a little harder. any help/tips is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
