Ethnography Results - Week 2

For this week's ethnography, we went to Schotzi's and watched Lindsay Harris, Meagan Moseley, and The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. We noticed that despite the start time being listed as 9:00, they started sound testing then and the bar was quite empty. Below as we go through the different bands you can see pictures of how crowded it was as the band was playing.

Lindsay Harris started the night, and as shown on the right not a lot of people were there during the act, although people started milling in at the end of the act. We noted that there was no large demographic that was greater than any of the others.





By the time Meagan Moseley started at about 11, the bar was packed. We later found out that this was partly because a lot of her family and friends came, but additionally a large country crowd gathered at this point, shifting the demographics.





After Moseley left the stage, the majority of the country crowd filtered out, leaving a much smaller group with heavy counter-culture demographics.






In general, I was intrigued by the shifting in crowd size and demographics that we saw that night. I am interested to see in the coming nights whether we will see crowds ebb and flow with the genres of each band like tonight, or whether the shrinking and growing of the crowd was connected more with the time.
