Is there some talk of it shutting down? I hadn't heard this.

Oh wow.
FAKE NEWS
I can;t wait to applaud the Howard's transparency when they leak their own emails proving they aren't paying their staff.

I've only been to one show there and it's the only place in my life I ever walked out on a bill. We had seats and waited nearly an hour to close our tab while asking for our check twice, so we just left. Thrifty!
But you left cash on the table based on what you thought you owed, right?

We had a very similar experience at a local dining establishment 10ish years ago. Only time I've ever walked out on a bill.

Yeah, that was pretty jarring for me too. Love that band though.
