oysterhead Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thinking about making the trip from columbus ohio to buffalo for the nov. 17 show and want to know how the venue is? Security? Vibe? Liquor prices? Will it be worth the drive? Also is there a hotel close by? Any help is appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Goat Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 It's worth the trip! The Town Ballroom is an old dance hall in the downtown Theater District. It's very intimate and the acoustics are quite good. The security is pretty laid back. I've seen DSO there a number of times and have never witnessed any problems. I'm not sure about liquor prices, but beer is reasonably priced. There are a number of hotels within walking distance (or a short drive) inluding The Adams Mark, Hyatt Regency, Comfort Suites, Hampton Inn, and Embassy Suites. The Hampton might be your best bet as far as cost and location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta agree with this, it's an easy drive, the streets around town ballroom are electric and stay open late after show time for some extra kicks and good munchies, that Comfort suite is right up the road, an easy walk and great parking, and it'll be "one more saturday night' I think I'm in for this one after cancelling Boulder plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Charlie Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 There is an after party with a good local cover band called the Maniacs on Friday night at Mr.Goodbar on Elmwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Goat Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I've seen them a couple times. They can really crank out, and the lead guitar player also plays pedal steel on a couple select Jerry tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
