I wonder is Bourdain knows his BBQ? :P
Please do a good job on The Backyard, sorry but Austin Music Hall's revamp is a disaster. (Just my opinion)
You're not alone in that opinion.
I always thought The Backyard had the consistently best sound of Austin(ish)'s large venues, and hope they do the same good job at the new location.
^ On the other hand, the Bass Concert Hall renovations turned out beautifully (the designer was involved in both Austin Music Hall and Bass)
JohnM, thanks for heads up...have yet to see a show at the newly renovated Bass. I mean no disrespect to designer.
SO...are John Prine tix good even though all that is left are balcony (basically)???????????????????????????
THANKS JohnM!
I think Direct Events or whomever rushed AMH.
