bring a hoodie.  it gets cold up there after dark.
 
 
 oh, and...edit...but, i'm going to give you another little tip here.
 do NOT try and park by there.  do not have someone drop you before a show unless you plan on going really early, or missing your show.  there are a bunch of little shuttle-y type busses that go from around Hollywood and Highland - pay for parking around there, and then take the bus.  it will save you a lot of grief.

Wow...many thanks for the tip! I'll definitely do that.

convocation hall at the university of toronto.  it has a stained glass cupola dome that makes it absolutely breathtaking at nights when there is a full or nearly full moon shining thru it.
 
 i also like the vintage feel of the state theatre. makes me feel like i'm in middle america in the 1920's. and joe's pub in nyc. just gorgeous pressed tin ceiling.

I forgot the Riverside Church in NYC for Spiritualized.

I'm going to say Wolf Trap, too.
 
 As for indoors, I can't say I've been to too many places that I would consider "beautiful," but Meyerhoff Symphony Hall in Baltimore is rather nice. The Strathmore looks great from the pictures though, but I've never been inside.

Nissan.
 
  the parking lot is fantastic.

Coachella
 Teatro Kursaal (San Sebastian)
 Strathmore
 
 And I thought Liberty State Park was amazing when I saw Radiohead there in '01
 
 (Edit: Come to think of it, ANY venue is beautiful if Radiohead is playing      )

especially when you and all your friends decide to conduct mock tribal rituals around your minivan in a hillarious attempt to scare the drunkies

I haven't see enough around the world...So, I guess Warner Theater is pretty cool.
 Iota: artwork was done by Jane (co-owner), brick walls are cozy, NYCish, (although cumbersome for viewing); and the strewn lights help my photos look fantastic.
 
 I used to think Strangeways was cool w/ all of the mirrors.

The Gorge in George Washington (state).
 There is a huge valley (gorge) in the background with the columbia river running in the middle. and when the sun sets... fucking amazing.
 Imagine sunset with David Bowie playing ziggy stardust...  My best memory of The Gorge.

Saenger Theatre, New Orleans.  I think it is still closed... but I did love it..

The Russian embassy on Wisconsin Ave just up from G'towne.

Bowie could play inside of a toilet and it would still be beautiful.
