The Anthem officially receives the YSOA.
A few thoughts from my evening:
• Showed up at 7:40pm and walked right in, zero line if you came down the side of Shake Shack vs. the other entrance
• Absolutely gorgeous venue, one could say it’s a work of art or a museum of sorts
• There is a very special usher working the venue that hopefully you all get to say hi to
• Two thumbs up for the free beer on the house
• Not a bad seat in the house based on last night, I’d imagine some of the upstairs standing areas could be bad if you had multiple people in front of you.
• The water sensors and soap dispensers are indeed not working (luckily no growler action). My partner had some issues with this flaw.
• Do people actually listen to Andrew WK?? That was painful
• The sound was nearly intolerable at times (not sure if that was due to a half empty venue, if they were just testing the sound at max levels, or if Andrew WK is just doubly terrible).
• Uber is definitely a hurdle post show. I had four ubers cancel on me (my assumption is due to confusing roads down there plus the Maine Ave addresses may??? Not be fully integrated in Google maps, etc. yet??)
• I still want an AMA with Seth as a 2,500 person show there will feel very empty and I think they’ll have a hard time selling 6,000 tickets for many shows unless it’s of the Foo Fighter type event
• Looking forward to a visit in the near future!
