It's in the new April 2007 issue. The 2007 Esky music awards. They say:
"Great sight lines on the floor, tiered balconies, four easily accessible bars, and an intimate basement bar perfect for escaping opening acts."
Congratulations to everyone. Congratulations to Seth? Seth is the booker at the 9:30 club?
They're correct in their assessment. I loved the OLD 9:30 club, too, though.

I've heard that Albert Hammond Jr. album is pretty good. I may come down and see him on April 5th. That's an early show isn't it?
Thanks,
