bgdesign Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Omar Rodríguez-López's new band is playing the Bottom Lounge in February. They are called Bosnian Rainbows and sound pretty good. I think I'll have to hit this show. It's only $18. http://youtu.be/CEBsYgg9Qg8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 when we were recently talking about favorite venues, i was thinking about how (obviously) size has a lot to do with how enjoyable the venue is. I got curious and decided to look up the capacity of [most] of the chicago venues. i was pretty surprised by how big and small some are.

steviex2shoes Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Yeah man sell it. You're going to be at the top level of Subt standing behind people, unless you're there super early and really want to be at the front of the stage. Pocket the cash see them at the bigger venue, and make some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smailtronic Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 She offered somebody else $250, so I'm going to see if she'll give me that for it. Think Subt will have a problem with both of us showing up but the ticket in my name going to somebody else? Holy Fuck Edit: Found a dude on Craigslist that is giving me $425 for my ticket. Gonna pick up a fake bill highlighter pen before heading up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 HAHA! Amazing! Good luck with all of that. If I had gotten a ticket I know I would have done the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy said he's done this at Subt Will Call before (and a Brand New show to boot), so I'm hoping for the best. Figure we walk up together, but I tell them to put the wristband on him. Perfect scenario would've been as a +1, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
