(Please select all that apply) In your opinion, the $25 cost of a BSO Membership or a $40 Family Membership is Irrelevant. I just want to support the scene and appreciate all the work that the volunteers do. A great bargain, considering the occasional discounted or free shows, and the monthly Blues Notes that is included with all memberships. It's worth about what it costs. It is a bit over-priced. It is ridiculously over-priced. OK Question Title * 12.
