The Troubadour is also a widely known concert venue in LA. National level performers (Steve Earle, etc)
The Troubadour Concert Series is in KY, national level performers, somewhat lie sanctuary concerts

Bob,
The committee (and Mike) were aware of both of these venues during our deliberations and do not anticipate that this will be a problem. More about this will be discussed at tonight's meeting.

Bob,
FYI:
There are many, many, many more Getaways than Troubadours.
We added “Acoustic” as a qualifier to unique-a-fy our “Getaway.”

May I offer a gentle suggestion that we table this discussion until the board meeting?
Thank you for your consideration.

I’m unable to make tonight’s meeting unfortunately, or I would have waited to bring it up at meeting.
I think it IS an issue because if somebody googles Troubadour or Troubadour Concert or Troubadour Concert Series they will not get us. And expecting people to enter Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series to find us is expecting a lot.
This name overlap does not need to be discussed by email, but should be considered by a board-wide discussion at meeting.
Bob
