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.
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.
