Fillmore SS Shows

Yeah, but I think Hardees hates hasidic jews, so eating there makes you a bigot.

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. 

they do that at hardees.  and hardees fucking rules.

You also need an adult diaper while dining at Hardees.

yeah, but hasidic jews hate women and think they aren't even human beings . . . so that just got trumped.  frisco burgers for everybody.

The ordering process at Nando's is like the one at Katz's. Makes little to no sense.

Just talked to box office person at Fillmore as to whether there's going to be an opener for Warren Haynes on Saturday.  Dude told me that they wouldn't know until Saturday.  Consequently they have no idea when Haynes will play…  sounds like a pretty strange way to run a venue to me?!

must be all that pot smoking they allow in there.

Nandos FTMFW!

That's not uncommon for venues to not know, especially when it comes to set times. The band usually has the say in that kind of stuff, so venues often don't know set times until the day of show.

Sorry, Bagman.  At least you will soon have "Pho and Roll."  ;D

how much is the service charge at the box office?

I went to the show last night.  The base ticket price before service charge online was $35.  The face value of the ticket at the box office was $37.50.  So they bumped the face value of the ticket $2.50..  Someone else in line had a face value of $33.  And then they charge a dollar for processing.  Not sure if they pull this move at every show.

I'm sure someone else mentioned this but you can only get one beer at a time too..  That was annoying, I couldn't get a beer for my friend while he held our spots on the floor.  We had to make separate trips.

oh my.. that is retarded.

good for them.  you can never trust anybody.  just like scaplers.  you got to stop the one trying to abuse the system somehow.  i'm sure them loosing their license by an underage getting alcohol due to the old "two at a time rule" never questioned is more important than you caring.

They wouldn't let me bring up my friends license to the bar either.  I get what your saying but there has to be a better system.

mekmad understood

you, hutch, need to go back to gaybonics school.

The one-per rule doesn't make sense if it is just in regard to underaged drinkers.  Sure, a willing over-21 person can smuggle a whole beer to someone a no-drink wristband on the tight (if show is close to, over over, soldout) floor.  But….the ID check at door–including a magnetic stripe scanner that could retain ID info or interact with a marketing or law enforcement or county database –makes it somewhat difficult for under-21 to get booze. 
Yes, if there's-a-will-there's-a-way; the rule forbidding more than one drink is silly because it chops severely at liquor sales and satisfied customers while only barely attacking the issue of the underaged.

Anyone, btw, have comments on that ID-swiping device at the front door….. "100 % ID Check Mandatory"???

The mandatory ID check with databases is a huge downer for me and I'm surprised no one has mentioned it.. I mean I mentioned it after going to see Ziggy Marley…. .I don't have any issues with the law myself but I just don't like it…


I doubt I'll go to more than a very rare show there when a friend is inviting me or something…this alcohol policy is also lame…imagine you are there in the middle of the floor with a friend and you want a drink.. you'd both have to go or take turns going to the bar.. thats LAME… 

what is unclear about the ID check is if they would just turn you away or arrest you or what..

Well you know its the FILLMORE so presumably that's the alcohol policy Bill Graham instituted in SF and NY back in the late 60s.  If you're going to perfectly recreate his vision you have to pay attention to details.
