(I'm really thankful for U Hall bookings...for upcoming bands but also for artists/bands that are popular - nice environment and cozier and less crazy than 930. It's like being back in college and seeing someone before they're really famous)

overall I'm thankful for it because anything that gives IMP more flexibility in booking different kinds of acts is a good thing..


but lets face it: the sight lines at U Hall are pretty crummy...

sightlines worse or better than dc9?

i'd venture to say dc9 but perhaps i'm just biased because i'm always convinced the floor is going to cave in when i'm at a show there and that low ceiling is borderline claustrophobic.

a true hero, to me . . . finally!!!!!!

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazine/news/20130429/jason-collins-gay-nba-player/

well that was quick

http://www.tmz.com/2013/04/29/jason-collins-mike-wallace-twitter-tweet-homophobic/

As much as I hate the Steelers (and I love football enough to understand he is no longer in PIT), Wallace is right. First off, a phobia is defined as someone whom has UNREALISTIC fear(s) about a particular thing. Wallace, showing no unrealistic fear in his tweet should never be labeled as a homophobe. Second, it is completely understandable that Wallace does not understand Collins' position. He is not a homosexual and most likely will never be. I am of the same mindset and can safely say that I will never understand the idea of being sexually attracted to another man. That does not mean that we have some fundamental disagreement with such an idea.

Third, even the disagreement of such a mindset does not make one a hater of homosexuals. One can question the lifestyle from a standpoint of right or wrong without deliberately questioning the reality of such. There are many whom are born with tendencies that have been deemed undesirable by the public. For example, there may be a man/woman whom is attracted to people of far too young of an age or someone whom is attracted to animals. Would that sit in accordance with the general public? The answer is no. They would most likely be incarcerated for sexual actions on either party.

This is not saying that we should do the same with homosexuals. I honestly believe in the true attraction between two of the same sex. But to say that Mike Wallace is a hater of homosexuals is yet another example of an unfair categorization of an individual for what may be his own personal beliefs.

Just as we should stop persecuting those whom believe in the attraction between those of the same sex, we must also be fair to those whom have have the slightest disagreement of the notion.

I agree with both statements...
Yeah I guess DC9 has better but a much smaller space with about 100 strangers pressed against you. (another just like I'm college type venue with the floor about to cave in)
U Hall you can see if up front or center middle (unless short) but on that concrete gets hard to stand esp. with nothing to lean on. We even ran into other fans - old like ourselves who just had to lean. (I found it was an elbow / purse fight with others who had already claimed spots on the counter / wall) Agree tho, even up front to the side is kinda awkward b/c of that wall and you are half in / half out of venue. Okay now I'm rambling in the thread which is why I miss so many announcements - sorry!

AM at U Hall the following week is good...haven't seen him with his music partner though.

I thought Wilco and MMJ were your favorite bands in the world?
