A few months ago I went to the Clubhouse to see some friends of mine from Los Angeles, California. I sold merchandise for Tony Lucca and Keaton Simons while at the Clubhouse, so my point of view maybe a little bit different.
When I first got there I was sitting in my car waiting to get in. I wasn't sure exactly what door to use because there really was no sign that said enter. So I just opened one of the doors and walked right in. This was about an hour before the show started. I couldn't take the heat outside and had to go in. One of the security guards came up to me and asked what I was doing there and i told him. He went back and got a wrist band for me and I proceeded to the bar and waited for my friends to get done with sound check so we all could talk.
Anyway, I thought the place was nice (i've been to some dumps and dives) and the security was nice. Trust me when I say, security at the Troubadour sucked big time and same at the Marquee Theater. Again there was plenty of parking and I thought the sound was great. The only strange thing I thought was you had to stay at the bar and drink, you couldn't go outside the bar with your drink. Parking was plentiful and the staff was decent.
