5,000 seat venue? that is something most bands don't reach in a career. not to burst your bubble but you need a serious reality check. ambition is great but you need to be more realistic about this whole thing, to say the least. good luck, terr.
it also sounds like you are putting the 'rich and famous ' part well before actually having a good or great band to work with. as usual i
could be wrong. 
but the yogurt rock things sounds good. 
I said a 5k venue is ideal cuz that's what Gregg Allman said. Just quoting him.
He was talkin' about the Beacon.
I don't expect to play venues like that next year but hopefully before our career is over, YES!
Is that ambitious or just wishful thinking? We'll see....
The rich & famous can give you a hand up & things happen very quickly when they do!
For example, Duane Allman went to see an old friend's band play. The band was called Cowboy.
Duane told some Big Wig about 'em --I think it was Phil Walden--- & Cowboy got immediately notified by mail that they had a record deal!
They'd been signed sight unseen & unheard just cuz Duane said they were good.
Yoga Rock, man! but okay--Yogurt Rock ain't far off. lol
It may seem strange to you & it may seem like it doesn't pertain to you but yoga means linking up to a Higher Power.
Most everyone wants to do that!
I know my playing ain't great or even very good but my bandm8s are EXCELLENT & have experience & have paid their dues & I have too to some extent.
What I lack as a bassplayer I make up for in songwriting skills & other stuff.
I strongly believe that we are onto something special & are breaking new ground in the music biz & we're getting into unexplored waters so therefore we have a chance to make a Big Splash!
