That’s awesome. I’ve only been to 2 shows there and neither were too full but both good experiences

Excited to hear that. Somehow haven’t made it there yet but might do a show next week and already have tickets to Art Brut next year there, which I imagine will be sold out if it’s not already. Small venue with a clean layout is always ideal

Turf is solid but it just tends to bottleneck so hard at the sound booth, and if you get stuck behind that, it’s fairly far back.

Entry hypothetically you could get stuck a couple rows back on the upper part, but I’ve still not been to a show there where i didn’t have a good to great view

Nothing against st paul itself, it’s just much less convenient for me personally than venues i can bike to in 10-15 minutes over here, but that’s a me problem (and a lack of fast transit between downtowns especially at night problem)

this is the correct answer! (imo but also objectively lol) and i know and hear the arguments against it, but still would be my pick. the second bathroom and depot bathrooms help for that part at least

(message sent from a fairly full show at 7th st that just ended)

very good clarification and save on main room, was waiting for someone to say that but it becomes one of my least favorite venues when sold out. not as bad as fine line, but not great

like those picks. amsterdam is underrated for having a nice clean layout, only knock is it being in st paul…

definitely acceptable answer from my knowledge, albeit having not been there myself

finding exactly 1 penny and 2 quarters has been the hardest part of being a squished penny enthusiast for years. While we’re updating them, preload the pennies and add tap to pay and i’ll pay a whole $1

ha, that one was a first ave member ticket so i couldn’t pass it on even if i wanted to (which i absolutely do not want to do lol). excited for that show, will be my first time seeing them. hopefully you can find a ticket somewhere too

Your vocal support for ranking Davis over Fateh was all just a ruse to throw us off the scent. Clever scheme sir

uptown theater and the fillmore are both places i’ve learned to almost never buy drinks at, obscene prices (thanks livenation)
