Fillmore SS Shows

it's always like that even at non-sold out shows (the line wrapping around the block, etc)

my friend told me it's way oversold?

did anyone else go to the Heilung show last night?  Is it normal to take 2 hours for everyone to get inside during sold out shows? good lord - they had to delay the show by 1 hour because not everyone was inside yet.  Doors were at 7, we showed up at 7:15 and the line wrapped all the way around the block behind the fillmore.  We moved maybe a few feet in 45 minutes - took us 1 hour to make it inside (we made it inside at 8:15, show was supposed to start at 8).  It seemed something changed around 8pm and the line started moving much faster.  Totally insane though.

Haven't been to the Fillmore in a few years, but I'm pretty sure this is caused by a butts/nuts search and a metal detector.

sooooo… other than long lines and a lack of nudity, how was the actual show?  people were hyping this like the next coming of radiohead - t'was it?

I know …seriously at least 4 bordies attended this cult-of-death fest
Was their brainwashing going on and no one can remember the set…

It was…stunning.

ok, that's a start… sounds like it was a good show?

did they play their big hit, "ah-HUYAH HUYAH, WUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"???

Anyone else wonder if and how profitable Fillmore SS has been.
I mean I've always had precocious (or as an adult, classist/hipster) musical tastes, but am I just so old that I can't tell that the majority of the acts billed there are relevant? Shouldn't there be at least a few bands a month/year/decade that would catch my eye? I mean they're hosting proms and silent dance parties. Is it that unprofitable to host a few local showcases once in awhile (now that's just a loser band jerk gripe)?

It's 100% not profitable… I'm sure you could find the information here or the Google, but this was a heated topic on here years ago. I'm pretty sure they received millions of dollars in funding/tax credits/etc. I'm sure it some point in the coming years it will become a Fuddruckers or something.

There was a Fuddruckers within walking distance but it closed, just like most of the other locations.

Then crisp and juicy.

East West Hwy at Colesville

Always room for more 🐔

You'll be happy to know that https://donpollogroup.com is coming to the space formerly known as Noodles and Co. on Ellsworth. OHHHH DAT CHICKEN.

Found out last week that you don't need a ticket to the FSS, you can hear the show really well from across the street.

Awesome! Let’s have a meet up. Bring a lawn chair and cooler. Let’s pick a show soon
