After a very long time away from this place, I've managed to come here twice in the last couple of months. The first time, it was to see one of my all time favorite DJ's, DJ Nu-Mark of Jurassic 5. That was an awesome show. Then, I came back to see DJ Neil Armstrong. The music was nothing short of amazing once again. The sound quality was spot on and gave the artists a great platform to perform their magic. I had a grand ole time both times. There are a lot of things that I really like about Mighty. First off, it's all the free parking spaces right outside the venue. It's great to not have to squeeze into small spaces or drive around in circles for half an hour just to find legit parking. Also, I like their set up inside. There's no VIP area which means that there's ample seating available to anyone who wants a place to sit down to cool off that blister on their big toe. Also, I like the bartenders. They don't mess around with watered down drinks and give you plenty of free ice water at the end of the night w/o any attitude. Now for some small details that I think this place missed. One of the times that we came to the Mighty, we came in a big group but two of our friends had to leave because they weren't feeling well. They stood outside for over half an hour waiting for a cab. Since the location of this venue is so secluded, taxis hardly swing by on their own. Be prepared to call in advance if you need a lift. The Mighty takes only cash for everything. Although they have an ATM on site, I still getting irked anytime a place has this policy. Lastly, this last weekend, someone in our group had their car broken into. BE CAREFUL PARKING ON ALAMEDA STREET. It is not well lit making it an easy target for vehicle break-in's. When we went to check out the damage of our friends' vehicle, we noticed that 3 other cars had passenger side windows smashed in. My friends purse was stolen and the vehicle behind them had items taken as well. Make sure you do not leave ANY valuables in your vehicle. Park on Utah, if possible. It's awesome that the Mighty brings around big names and draws huge crowds. I will definitely go back to check out more shows here, however I'll be very careful with where I park and what I bring with me.

Wow, ladies and gents! I loved this place. I know I know, I've only been there once and I didn't really fit in.. But, man, I just felt so free there! People are heavily inked and pierced and while I'm not, I still felt at home...after a few minutes! ;) People were friendly, it was cool. Plus, the 80's goth/glam goth and general modern rock that was being played was soooo fun to listen to...at least I THINK that's how you would classify the music played. I probably wouldn't have found this place on my own. Thanks KR for having a birthday and choosing this place as the venue to be! My only complaints: Beer choices could be broader. And that my honey wasn't there...oh wait, that second part has nothing to do with the Cat Club! ;)
