flairblair Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 heartily agree with most of these venues, at least the ones ive been to... gotta disagree with a few tho- electric factory hate it from the pat down getting in, to the no smoking signs that everyone ignores, to the kids that never shut the fuck up during the show. orange peel- dude at the door let me thru, then went and got me to take my shit. i love the whittaker center or sunoco palace or whatever in harrisburg. starland ballroom(?) in some armpit in central jersey, the hempiest place on earth. neighborhood theatre in charlotte, and my all time favorite place to see a show- the fabulous crystal meth(i mean rock) room in downtown portland oregon, where the floor is bouncing as hard as the hippies. its like being on the moon, with good beer. agree with some of the dishonorable mentions for sh&tty venues, but oddly, i ve had some of my best times at those places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simsjim215 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Penns Peak , Jim Thorpe PA- the band's energy here is aways amazing Electric Factory - Philadelphia PA - philly LOVES a good shakedown street, and the guys (and Lisa) never disappoint at this venue Sherman - Strausburg PA Wellmont - Montclair NJ Mercer County Park - love outdoor stuff Basically perfer GA over assigned seating. GA allows tons of room to dance and bop. Didnt Like: Rams' Head - Baltimore MD - over-sold and bad sight lines - no room to dance Grand Opera House Wilmginton DE- the crowd was soooo stuffy.

flairblair Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 simsjim 215 above with the comment on the izod shirt brought back a memory of seeing dso at princeton u, whatever the name of the hall is. anyway, as we're walking back to the car thru "downtown" princeton, a guy in the group of four in front of us remarked "i like princeton, it reminds me very much of the hamptons" so, needless to say, every walk back to the car, or the train or the tent is very nice, reminds me of the hamptons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
