I've seen a few shows at this venue. All metal. In the past, I've simply thought of the myth as simply a crappy modern club. But yesterday(Dragonforce 12-12-08) the crossed the damned line.
If you've ever been to a metal show, you know that moshpits break out at the drop of a hat. During one of these such moshpits, I was pushed up front. Apparently being pushed up front at a metal show is a no-no, because the security gaurds on the barrier pushed me back by my head and said something to the affect of "Get the F*** back a**hole". I wasn't about to be kicked out, so I got the eff back. That was the first band of three. After that, I went to the bar to get a glass of water. It was a $1.50, or so I was told, When I looked at the reciept, I was charged $6.00. The bartender, was drunk, very drunk. I eventually got him to give me two redbulls. Later in the night, before dragonforce's set, I go outside to roll a ciggarette(bad habbit, I know). Once the security gaurd in the smoking area see's my papers, he tells me that I wasn't suppose to get those in the club, I show him that I'm simply rolling tobacco; He takes the papers anyway. At that point. I left.
I really hope this club goes bankrup. Generall mean security, drunk bartenders, and lame atmosphere.
Pros: Parking is painless. Its big for a club in this area
Cons: The staff, a bunch of blithering idiots.
