-Joe.

I don't understand how a punk or hardcore show would work at this place.

Not saying anything bad, I think its a sweet place, just doesn't seem like it would fit the vibe.

Quite possibly even more awkward.

"I wanna see everybody off the couches on this next one!"

derek pretty much nailed it.

i would also like to see more $$ go to bands vs. the space and wish it wasn't down on the drinking. i remember drinking my fat tire out of a coozy while i was there, not a big deal, but less than ideal.

at this point in ames it's become an important space.
