Terrible venue. I drew a diagram of it on here once. Like 50% of the foot space has no line of sight to the stage. It's an old gay dance club that someone just threw a stage in the corner of. Great booker (for Richmond) but awful building.Guided by Voices

And when you write “I can’t stand him”….wow… I don’t enjoy listening to Coltrane’s Ascension but I still appreciate what he is trying to do….
