Berkely...yuck...I was at the filming for Matallica's S&M thing in the Berkeley Comm. Theater, and it isn't set up for a modern concert venue, unless they've changed it since then.
I'm DT'd out, and their latest bores me to death, but I may go to see Redemption (and hopefully Ray is healthy).
Never been a SX fan, but Slim's is a good place to see a show. Too bad the 11th St corridor is so screwed-up with gangsters, right now (a Sureno/Norteno thing from a club called Caliente that's on 11th st & Harrison). So if you're going, watch your back!
