Blue October at 713 Music Hall

The actors were amazing in this. Set it off play by Je'Caryous. One thing I wish I had known ahead was to: Not park in the assigned parking lot as it took me an hour to get out because people didn't see the pay online for parking sign and when they got to the gate, HAD to go online which took a minute or two every one or two vehicles. I would park across the street or rideshare. For those that don't know, this venue has multiple units for entertainment and what have you so when it comes to parking you don't only have those that are there for the event, but they are there for shopping or whatever else is available. And as far as this particular producer for plays, if I go to another one of his shows I will definitely go for the earlier show, as the later show seemingly brings a less appreciative crowd for the art. Talking, heckling, etc.

Saw Fit for an Autopsy, Sanguisugabogg, Kublaih Kahn, and Lamb of God. It was my first time at this venue and it was a blast. Large floor area for the kids working through their demons. The security by the barrier in front of the stage was very professional and took their jobs seriously. The majority of what they were doing involved catching people that were crowd surfing and they were communicating and using teamwork and handling everyone with kid gloves. Shout out to those guys!! Between sets the venue was handing out cups of water to the people in the front and beyond. Besides being a thoughtful kind thing to do, it prevents those people from having to wade through the sea of humanity and back and kept everyone locked in on the show. Really cool of them to do that. Beers were cold and bartenders were a hoot. Lively and fun and in a great mood. Lots of other things to drink and food as well. Looked like typical barroom fare, which is perfectly fine. We were able to get up on the second floor and watch the insanity from a distance, which was great for us older fans. And everyone around us was having fun, no fighting, no aggression, just sharing the experience, despite all of our differences. That’s the best part of these shows. Young, old, male, female, black, white, brown, and everything in between just having fun and letting loose together. The 713 Music Hall is a great place to do it!
