"And the punchline of the joke is asking someone save us"

(There are maybe 10 of you who will recognize where I took the title of this post from, and are probably giggling to yourselves.)

Hey look at that! The world didn't end when the Large Hadron Collider was switched on. Of course, as several people have pointed out, there are all sorts of doomsday possibilities that would take a few weeks to really get started, but that just means everyone has time to prepare for the possible rip in space-time and/or a zombie uprising.

So I'm going to see the Sisters Of Mercy in November, when they play El Corazon. Because apparently I am an optimist, and think the show will be better than the last time I saw them. (You couldn't tell what songs were being performed thanks to the WALL OF DISTORTION, and the smoke machine was cranked so high that it set off the smoke alarm. Fun for everyone!) But my dear StuntHusband has never seen them live, AND stroppy_baggage is planning on attending. Mostly so we can tell people he's Uncle Andy's younger brother. (Because Andrew Eldritch really does look like he's the older, drug-addled brother of the Stroppy One. It's kind of eerie.)

I was at the ill-fated SoM show at that dreadful venue, but I haven't seen any shows at El Corazon yet (thinking of seeing SITD there though). Could you tell me more about the venue and what you hate about it? That might help me decide...

1.) Slightly weird two-tier layout that offers a surprisingly wide variety of poor viewing angles. 2.) More importantly, no ventilation to speak of. Which is a problem in massive black-clad crowds. When I saw VNV Nation there, I literally, no joke, ended up lying down shirtless on the linoleum floor, dizzily trying to remember what the symptoms of heatstroke are.

Ack - you're so right. Poor ventilation is a huge issue. I'll have to rethink this. Thanks much!
