Thanks, Derby! Yes, 1st Avenue holds about 1100 people, tops, when it's really packed. It's a fantastic venue to see the "not quite huge" shows that come through town. If you're a Prince fan, you might remember this as the location at which the concert scenes from "Purple Rain" were filmed. They made it look HUGE in the movie, though. It's not huge. -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
