    I'm sure if you ask the person running the room "Can you play something from <Well Known Artist Name>?" they would probably honor your request.

    Where should i try to make a reservation for dinner? Pizza again for the out of town folks? Or somewhere else? As we found out last year, places had 2 hour waiting for walk in.

    I really don’t care how good the food is, waiting 2 hours for it is for the birds.

    The electronic music that myself, Dave and Drew listen to would test most of these setups to the extreme. I wanna hear and feel music, not tiptoe around and hope to hear a stand of hair break.

    That's why I like LSAF.

    It's not crowded.....well, it is during the day but...

    The nighttime is where it comes alive (even if you get into trouble).

    Just DO NOT lose the key to your room! Well, get it first before your sorry arse roommate goes off on a wild and drunken spree of $700 worth of wine testing....I won't mention any names Russ. I'm just not that kind of guy.
