I tend to have that effect.
 
 Seriously though, I'm as shocked as you are.  6 years into this lousy board and most of my Ween posts have been met with indifference.  I'm glad most of you yokels are catching up  :D

Agreed, and I only read it because I was wondering what the hell happened at the ween show to make the thread 20+ posts.  The answer?
 
 nkotb was there.  'nuff said. [/b]

This is what happens when bands like Phish break up.

I still say The Arcade Fire is proof that DAR can be an awesome venue.

thank you.  i've given up on replying to all the people who say that DAR is inherently bad.  it's definitely not the world's best concert venue, but it is no where near being the worse.  it can be made to sound great (arcade fire, pet shop boys, foo fighters, etc), but can also made to sound like ass (about half of the show that roll through there).  the sound techs actually have to work, instead of relying on presets and the "these settings work everywhere else" approach.

people here aren't complaining about the sound, DAR doesn't suck because of the sound ... it sucks because of everything else (bars, seats, soul-sucking atmosphere, etc)

bars: agreed, sucks, but i've never had a big problem getting tipsy if i was in a drinking mood.
 
 seats: mixed blessing.  having a more or less defined amount of space reserved around you is a nice change-up from GA sardine-land.  some shows are better b/c of seats, others definitely suffer.
 
 soul-sucking atmosphere: maybe you need to consider going to different shows   :p

Ding ding ding.  
 
 I'd rather see a show at a venue with sub-par sound, as long as it, you know, felt like a rock club.

So what other bands do WEEN fans like? (nkotb doesn't need to answer this one).

The show in Richmond last night was unreal.  Toad's Place was a great spot with plenty of bars with no lines and great views from everywhere, cool staff I could go on and on.  A lot like the layout of the 930 actually except done up without all the black paint and more room in the back and balconies.
