I couldn't find this one in the venue section. Anyone tape there before? Curious as to what to expect. Got Mud coming up next week at this joint.
Much like Toad's place or Lupos... a big wide room with a stage and a bar.
been there a couple times and taped each time. Obviously this would depend on the people there, but it's been chatty as hell every time I've been there and I've yet to pull a tape that I would call good. They were all listenable, but I wouldn't call them 'good'.
No board patches... the owner is very anal about letting the sound guy give a patch even if the band is cool with it. If it's not too crowded I'd setup in the middle of the room ~20' back from the speakers. Otherwise you're pretty much forced to tape from the side of the entrance into the place which forces everyone who wants to get a drink to walk buy your rig (probably the biggest reason why the tapes are all chatty).
