| - I've been to the Great Hall on several different occasions: twice for concerts, and once for a yoga workshop. It's quaint and lovely inside, with creaky hardwood floorings and high ceilings, but the building does have its downsides. One sentiment that I can echo is yes, it can get incredibly hot inside. Being an older building, there seems to be a lack of ventilation/any sort of cooling system. Ironically I sweated my face off here during a *Cold* Specks concert, but the sound was great and her voice filled the entire room, so I'm not complaining.
Also - one time I was here a bouncer randomly came up to me and asked to see my ID (he wasn't checking anybody else's in the room). I willingly obliged and forked it over, as he proceeded to peer at it carefully and proclaim, "WOW. That is the BEST fake ID I've ever seen." My eyes widened into saucers and I was ready to protest when he grinned and told me he was joking. Seriously? Seriously?! Is that some sort of bouncer way of having fun that I wasn't aware of? That same night there was a crazy drunken woman roaming through the crowd screaming and dancing wildly and pretty much ruining the show for everyone, and I wish that bouncer would have noticed and done something about it. I ended up leaving early because I was having such a bad time.
ANYWAY, to sum it up: there are pros and cons to the Great Hall. There's a full bar, but drunken hooligans. It's a beautiful old building, but there's no ventilation. Such is life.
