Cool venue but acoustics are really bad for high pitched singers: so be warned. Can sometimes sound like shrieking.

It's a beautiful venue, but they blast the AC. Bring a jacket. And it's probably best to wear tights under your high waisted hipster shorts!

It's great when venues have some seats available for those of us that are too lazy to stand for a show.

Don't forget to visit RockMed if you need anything (earplugs, bandaids, medical attention).

You can ear plugs at the bar. For some reason their sound techs think that loud=a quality music mix.
