If this is what is best in punk rock, then I will never buy such trash. Thanks for the education, but no thanks. By the time I was listening to the second track I was becoming appalled by the lack of imagination, the sameness of the melodies (what melodies?), the musical aridity and the unrelenting noise throughout, which Hilburn, regretfully, prefers to call "intensity." Thank God and the Queen for sending us, instead, Paul McCartney and Wings and for their new and truly compelling and exhilarating "Girls' School."

The food comes from Wild Ginger upstairs which is a great pan-Asian restaurant. Food isnt cheap but its high quality. They seat on a first come basis so if you wanna be up close show up when the doors open. But there isn't a bad seat in the house. i recall the acoustics are pretty good too. Not sure if I'll be able to attend myself but i did buy some tickets.
