I am fine with "vigorous enforcement" of the law. It's not Seth's fault, but the city can really make life hell for him if he crosses them in anyway. I just think if you're going to physically remove people from the premises for shit like this, you better damn well make sure you are getting the right people. As I said before, I've seen people removed from shows based on suspicion and that's bullshit.

For being a sold out show, it wasn't packed like 930 where you can't move.
Maybe they are using a relaxed standard to define sellout to make it seem like there is greater interest

I went to the Fillmore on Saturday and was not impressed. First off the sight lines are horrible. The stage is too low, I'm 6'5 and couldn't see much from the floor.
Really? At Blondie I had no problems seeing everything from the back of the floor - and I'm only 6'1" or so.
So we went up to the balcony and found out that you can't see shit up their either. The sides are way too deep, all you can see are heads in front of you.
That I definitely agree with. I went up there to check out the view and I couldn't see anything at all - and it wasn't even that crowded up there.

Anybody know what time shows start there? If the schedule says 7:00 and there's no opener listed, what does that mean?

For the P. Furs/Tom Tom Club the ticket said doors at 7:00. The website just said 8:00. Tom Tom Club came on at exactly 8:00 sharp.

Went for the first time last night. It was nice to be at a sold out show and have some space to move, good sound, and sightlines from the floor. Horrendous beer selection though and they need more bartenders.

He's Country. Sounds like a youngish Waylon Jennings. Not bad if you like that sort of music. Heard him live for a few songs a few weeks ago and liked him much better than I had expected. Could have gone into the show but opted for the police escort home rather than having to then stand around in the rain waiting for a bus.

They've had multiple groupons already. Chromeo was one of them.

Speaking of Groupons, the first one worth a shit (in a while) came through my email today. Nandos Peri Peri!

You should tip on the full amount of your meal, PRE groupon. IE, if you have a groupon for $20 and your bill comes to $40 (of which you'll pay the additional $20), you should tip on $40.

Don't think he was asking about the Living Social ettiquette, more the ettiquette of Nandos which has kind of a strange process for ordering, getting your food delivered, etc.

I think you leave a few for the busboy, but not a full 20%.

right, was asking specifically nandos etiquette. that seems about right.. for those who haven't been, it's a joint where you order your food at the counter, they give you a number, and they bring it out when it's ready. could also see this place blowing up, perfect combination of being fast, cheap, healthy and good for big groups.
