We went to the Grateful Dead tribute concert last night. A miserable experience that started before we were even in the parking lot. Beware of this venue.
1) With a dozen cars in line to get into the parking lot, they waited for you to get all the way into the lot to tell you it's full, do a u-turn and go to the paid garage across the street. C'mon guys, telling everybody in line before they entered the tiny parking lot would have shaved ten minutes off my experience. $7 parking across the street. Ouch.
2) Physically frisked by hand before entering the building?? Patted down? Use a wand, pls. I don't like being felt up. Also, they confiscated my fingernail clippers, because as the guy said... "they could be used as a weapon." Huh?? That angered me.
3) Okay, $6 beers are the norm, but a simple tap Budweiser had some odd flavor left over from earlier kegs that left a lemon flavor with the beer...at least that was their explanation. I was worried about being poisoned by soap or god knows what. They replaced them on request.
All in all, a very aggravating experience. The band was so so. We ended up leaving early. No seating requiring standing only is not my cup of tea.
