While this show rocked and I liked the venue. It was after the show where it all went to shit. It was a freezing December winter night, about 30 below out and trying to get a cab out of there was a joke. I went outside to get cab, my Cuz got a cab right away, but there were no more around. I tried going back in to the venue to call a cab. The dumb ass bouncer at the door wouldn't let me back in. I told him I wanted to call a cab, as I don't have a cell phone. The phone they had at the exit was broken, so I asked if he would call a cab for me. Well, the fucker wouldn't do it, he told me to wait outside for a cab. Well after a half hour of that, and no cabs, I am freezing my fuckin' ass off. I went again to try and get in the venue to ask someone to call a cab for me. Again, denied, I finally after a bunch of bullshit, finally asked for a manager to talk to and explain the situation. I finally did get a manager, I told him how I had been treated, and told him, all I want is cab so that I could get home. The guy I talked to was good, and in minutes I had a cab. A lot of bullshit for just trying to get home. To say the least, I was not impressed and the manager didn't seem to happy with his employees either. The problem was finally fixed and I did get home about an hour and a half after the show. No wonder this venue didn't last long.
