I have tickets to see a show there but don't know anything about it. Seems like a small
club type venue but I haven't got a clue. Anyone been to a show here before? If so
how early do you want to get there for a decent seat assuming it is general seating?
Thanks in advance for any help.

No seats. Unless they have begun catering to crippled baby boomers recently. You can drink at the bar in front and then cross over to the room in back where the shows are and they'll stamp your hand so you can go back and forth.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up. Is it is decent venue or cramped and uncomfortable?

It's a small venue. It could hold all of maybe 200 people if that. It's kind of a hipster place. They get quite a bit of attention for a small venue. You have to stand the whole time. How crowded it is will depend on the band.

Just kind of a little known folk singer named Greg Laswell but I wouldn't be surprised if he sold
200 tickets for the show.

Super small. No seats (take that back - there may be a bench or two along the right wall). Get there early to sit on the front bar - decent food too. If you are a big fan of the artist, go early and stay late - because there is no "backstage". They usually hang out in the front and mingle with the common folk.

Make sure you lease a car to drive down here.

The night will be a lot more affordable if you smuggle in your own 100 calorie packs.

Ok, yeah planned on getting there early as the person I am going with is a big fan. Was hoping to
get a cd signed or something as I usually do.

I haven't been there in awhile, but I think you're right.

There's a bench along a stretch of the right wall, and I think a few tables in front of the bench. These will go fast though since this area would probably only sit about 25 people.

Since it's a folk singer, they'll probably take the tables out so as to not risk people throwing them on stage during the performance.
