This will quickly change into "Shut down the Empire Ballroom"
Let's see...Friday went to Static X. Awesome as ever.
Got a new car on Saturday. I love her, she's awesome. Jolene thinks she's hot...I have to agree.
PM5k = a load of shit. The Empire Ballroom is the asscrack of venues. DO NOT go there.
Heres a breakdown:
Had to get tickets through Ticketmaster Canada, which seemed a little shady, but came through
Get there for show that was to begin at 8, drive in and park (this comes up as important a little later). They say oops, misprint show starts at ten. This place is on the strip, I dont want to be there at 10. But they are sorry & offer us free tickets to Veruca Salt (great a whole concert for three good songs), Dokken (do I look like I sport a mullet) or Buckethead (who?) for the inconvenience. The 3 of us collectively comeup with "no". So we get put on the VIP list, access to front of line, free drinks all nightwhatever.
Return at 10:30 because, no, there is no need to see the opening band (PRONG) because they suck, and get charged $5 a car for parking (which was never mentioned until this time, plus we had to leave and get another car because Jolene has to go to work)
There is no line so whoop de doo to VIP status, we should have taken this as a sign.
Get insidesound sucks big time. They let the bands do their own sound according to the manager who has changed the offer from drinks all night long to Ill buy you a round of water
Its like sitting in a feedback loop & doesnt get better between actswhich makes me believe they have a sound guy...and it's one of the two I saw licking a record which equals an utter and complete love of records or a coke habit.
We watch the a lady handing out flyers in between acts as they play the same crap music that didnt work when the place was Utopia....she's huddled on the floor looking sadder than I am for not taking a refund. We left three songs into the show because two feet from the stage all you can't tell who you are listening too and thirty feet away at the bar you can't take your fingers out of your hears to drink your beer...which wasn't free.
I'm emailing the empire ballroom I'll let you know what happens
