I think that'd be a neat venue visually/thematically; it's just that
all too often in places like that bands still crank the volume up as
if they're in an enormous concert hall.  I don't find that remotely
enjoyable, and that's what I was getting at.  I remember seeing shows
at the Brew House where we left the building, shut the big steel
doors, crossed the street, and it was STILL too loud to not use
earplugs.

I am soooo excited that this time next year, all venues here will be
no-smoking.  I saw a non-smoking show at the 9:30 Club in the fall,
and it was wonderful.  It was completely sold out, and I didn't have
to worry about backing into a lit cigarette or being ignited by
someone smokin' and dancin'.  I can't wait until everything's like
that...
