Thirded.

I love this venue, I hate the location.

Well, no one in the city likes the booker, and me thinks is directly responsible for some of the over-selling issues.
 
 Man, I hope we get to over-sell for the Festival...

The owner of the RNR is not on this message board so your complaints would be falling on deaf ears...
 
 And for the record, Smackette saw CYHSY while I was out with the Director and said that they are absolutely hit-or-miss throughout the entire show.  Some songs great, other songs just awful.  There was little in between.

The owner may not be, but I suspect others are... for the record.

I think that's an unfair generalization.  Steve has always treated my band very, very well.

I have run hot and cold with him, but your comments are some of the first I've heard on that end of the spectrum. I've had bands -- plural -- tell me they will never play one of those venues again, because of him. Don't know why this is, but  this is what I hear from folks.

Minus one occasion right after they had opened, our experience with everybody at the Rock and Roll Hotel has been nothing but positive, from the evening managers to the booking agent to the bar staff to the sound engineers.  
 
 Steve has always offered us great shows, and been understanding and respectful when we've been unable to play.  I obviously can't speak to anybody else's experience, but Steve has treated us very well.

...Because the denizens of 930.com have always been noted for not using this bboard as a place to bitch about everything! Never has this place been flooded with complaints about DCist, Pitchfork, the Washington Post, Bigyawn, etc, etc, etc.
 
 Discussing an issue about a local venue is as on-topic as anything else we discuss.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
 
 We are happy to announce that a 3rd show with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah has been added for Monday November 19th at the Rock and Roll Hotel.  They will be supported by Montreal's Malajube on the date.  The 100 fans whose tickets were being refunded due to an oversell mistake by the Rock and Roll Hotel will have the first opportunity to get tickets for the 3rd show.  A public on-sale date is set for Friday October 12 at 10am.  Tickets previously bought for the headlining Malajube date on November 19th will be honored on this date as well.  The Rock and Roll Hotel is very excited to have the great opportunity to host such an amazing band for 3 straight nights.
 
 Thanks! - Steve

We've never had any problems with him either, or any of the staff at The Hotel.
