| - Saw a punk/rock show here last night. We're not from around here so this is based off what we directly experienced.
Parking: metered parking or shady paid parking lot. Paid $6 to park my car, don't know if the guy was a legit parking attendant or someone making some cash on unsuspecting show goers, but $6 wasn't bad. Better to be picked up or dropped off I'm sure. My car and stuff were fine after the show.
Venue:
Larger on the inside than I thought. Lots of floor space and one large bar and another smaller bar. Saw a back patio for smokers, but didn't take a look. Tons of lighting and sound was decent.
Bathroom: there are like 5-6 stalls for the ladies room which isn't a lot in my opinion, the line was HUUUUGE. Also, mirrors and sinks are shared between guys and girls bathroom. Awkward much? Plus there's security who stands right outside to regulate the line and emergency exit?
Bar: didn't buy drinks but a small bottle of water was $4. They also didn't have any drinking fountains or give out glasses of water for free. You HAVE to buy water or you get none at all. Since we didn't bring any money in for fear of losing it in the crowd, we were really dehydrated.
Security: there's lots of them! Don't know if they've never seen a punk show before, but they literally had 3 huge dudes stand in the middle of the pit and grab people if they started even slightly pushing against other people. Grabbed crowd surfers by the ankles and yanked them down to the ground hurting more than helping. They also grabbed me when I was bent over on the floor looking for something in the crowd. Literally grabbed my waist and started yanking me away, I had to scream at them not to touch me before they stopped. Really rude and unprofessional.
My experience: tickets were affordable, show started on time, lighting and sound was decent, band was killer, the crowd sucked.
Also, this kid pissed someone off and got decked in the nose, which consequently broke his nose and he was gushing blood EVERYWHERE. Ran to a bar tender for some clean up and medical help. He seemed lost. Called another lady over, also seemed lost. I had to steal a towel from the bar tender and return to the floor and clean up the puddle of blood so no one stepped in it. Don't even know if anyone helped the kid or if they called him an ambulance since after the show he was sitting outside with his nose still bleeding. Blood on the dance floor, while hardcore, is really dangerous for obvious reasons, blood borne pathogens and slippery, and there was a lot and the only person cleaning it up was me? Ridiculous.
Probably won't ever come back to this venue.
