I have to admit something. I shouldn't be the duchess for this venue. I DID go here two Friday's in a row, but when I went to "draft review" on my iphone, it additionally checked me in a third time. It was an accident! I didn't mean to! (I feel only slightly less guilty because I HAD been here before. Before I had my iPhone. Like when we held our high school semi formal in this venue. A. Long. Long. Time ago.)
Accept my apologies for my fraudulent check-in. I am a liar and a thief.
Now, for the venue... It can be hard to separate a venue from the events that happen in it. A week or so ago I checked out the Big Sound dance party, which was incredible! $12 cover at the door, and I loved that it was an older crowd. The music was hopping, there was dancing, and while it was very full, it wasn't so packed that you couldn't move. A fact I appreciate.
Went this Friday for a Hooded Fang Show. The openers were... horrible. The venue still was fun, but that post modern electro yelling with tambourine... Let me never experience that again.
My friend has her wedding booked here next September, and I can't wait to see how it varies from this experience (although I WILL be back to check out Big Sound before then!)
