RECORDING:
If you want a board recording of the show you will need to bring a recording device and 1/4 cables @ load in (7pm).
Keep in mind that in a room of this size a board recording will be very drum and vocal heavy. To get a realistic image of the performance you will need to bring room mics to balance the guitars and any other amplified instruments.
Please do not come up to the booth right before the bands begin or while they are playing and ask to plug in. We don't want to take the chance of unplugging something and impacting the show.


FOOD & DRINK:
(A few great places to get some food and a drink if you get to town early)
The Bookhouse Pub High gravity gastro pub, located in the corner of our parking lot.
The Local BBQ, burgers, wings, etc.
Cameli's Italian food. Giant pizza slices and awesome sandwiches.
Unique Pizzeria Beside the club, near load in door.
Marco's Pita Tasty Mediterranean food from the yellow building next door.
Soul Vegetarian For the vegetarians. Food is good, but service is notoriously slow. About a mile away from the venue.


LODGING:
The Highland Inn About a mile from the club.
Artmore Hotel About a mile from the club.
Clairmont Hotel Not really... seriously, do not get a room here! The lounge downstairs is a great place to relax with some classy ladies and a PBR after the show.

BOOKING POLICY:
Please send all booking requests to the email address. All email is checked. Please provide links to your music with your booking request. A Facebook page WITH music that can be streamed on the page AND listeners do NOT have to like the artist to stream the music is preferred. The agent WILL listen to your music if links to streams of your music are provided UNLESS you are using MYSPACE. WE WILL NOT LISTEN TO MYSPACE STREAMS. MYSPACE IS UNSTABLE AND USUALLY CAUSES THE ADOBE FLASH PLUGIN OF OUR BROWSERS TO CRASH. If you do not receive a reply within two weeks it is because we can not accomodate you in the room at that time or you did NOT provide adequete links to your music..

Please provide as MUCH information as possible about what you want to book as well.
