Aja’s post should be required reading for anyone doing brand management anywhere outside of Facebook. That said…

… this article is about some of the more evolutionarily mature fandoms and not the less organized ones. There are still plenty of ways that this can (and probably will) go wrong for those fan communities and for that bad behavior to infect other fandoms.

I was curious the other day about the size of the different venues Darren is playing in the US, so I decided to make a list for reference. I went with information from the venue’s site when possible, and if not I tried to go for another reputable source.
