Question on the Idependent Venue

Yes-- It is GA-- There are some benches on the side of the venue where people can sit if they want-- they are elevated slightly off the floor, so you can still see the stage.. We are going to have to block some of the seats off for merchandise and extra gear, but there should be plenty of room
 
Yes there are in and out's and there are a ton of places to eat right near the venue...There wont be any problems where that is concerned...

Awesome list you compiled there Bear! I already have my eye on Tsunami! That's nice that soi many places to eat are so close!
 
Yeah-- the dining places around the venue are awesome - Great sushi for you Rick-- I know you are already drooling!! The BBQ place is the best in the city and one of the best in the Bay Area-- Also--better save room for Dennys on Drugs-- aka, our favorite 24 hour joint -- THE LUCKY PENNY! You will sing its praises by the time the festival is over--

I soooo much look forward to this. There is NOTHING better than a night full of drinking and an awesome time (not to mention a ton of kickass music :kickass: ) to be topped off by a late night meal at the 24 hr. diner. Can't wait to check out THE LUCKY PENNY. Usually if me and my friends have someone who is capable of driving we will hit the Denny's or the Adalberto's (24 Hr. Mexican). Nothing quite contends with (as Taco Bell would say) Fourth Meal. :kickass: :kickass: :kickass:
