I saw Sleater Kinney there and swore I'd never go back. I went in and about 10 seconds later found out there was no in/outs - like a high school dance. They share a patio with a restaurant but you couldn't go out to smoke until the restaurant closed. There was no reasoning with security and they ran the place more like a penitentiary than an entertainment venue. I haven't been back to the emperor's penal colony since.
I live in walking distance and will probably go the show. Oh, the things I do for SY. I would have gone to SF just to avoid the Empire but I can't stomach Pearl Jam - or giving my $ to Clear Channel - but that's a different story.
