| - The Joint is a perfectly fine and generic music venue. The acoustics are dandy, the beer prices are steep, and you will have to wait in a line of cars to get out of the garage afterward. (Pro Tip: Park at the Silver Sevens - formerly Terrible's - walk the half block and save yourself the headache.) However, if you want to see certain bands, you do not get to pick the venue (unless you are Scrooge McDuck), so we are stuck with places like The Joint, The Pearl, or House of Blues - which is not all that bad. They are corporately ran, so you get perks like cleanliness (relative to concert venues), security, and a decent layout. They may not be exactly ideal, but these venues are decent enough - and most people I know are not coming for the theater, they are coming for the act.
