by Rob D. on Basically, you're paying to have rather expensive drinks on what appears to be a derelict ship (the ship is defintely sweet, take a tour when you're sober, its much harder when you're intoxicated and it bobs up and down)...$8 a corona? $40 a pitcher of sangria? (they aren't even that large or good) Plenty of people from the office have been there and raved about it, but apart from the novelty of the boat nothing was special. Its very laid back and food is up-scale theme park fare.
by Laurie Tysdal on My first impression of this place, very cool. The good: The lights were dim; there was a small dance floor in the middle of the place, and a bar in the back. I think I ran to the bar out of pure excitement. It was not overly packed around 10pm. The sound was decent, the patio was cool, but I was in shock that people were openly smoking weed right next to me. I mean, call me prude, but I never see that... The bad: The drinks were expensive, and I realized while looking at my bill that they AUTOMATICALLY ADD TIP! Who does that? I am sure 90% of the drunken people add tip that they do not need to, only because who really looks for that crap? I was upset, because it's not like we were served right away. Toward the end it was too packed, Miguel Migs didn't start spinning until after midnight, I had to wake up early for work, so we left.... I will return, but next time on a night that I do not have to work the following morning.
by Doria Euber on This review writes from the perspective of the three types of people present at last night's show... -- (On The Ebb and Flow...) PrepubeGirl: OMG, Tina, it's this band's LAST show EVER! He's good on that guitar all by himself. Like Hendrix... or Kurt Cobain. I like them both they are so similar. All by himself. Doesn't that, like, blow your mind?! Bobby's emo haircut was so cute I think he went to the salon right before coming here. Let's go get some autographs... Girl'sMom: Boy, it's pretty inside. Wowie, two stories! Can you believe they only have one per-person bathroom? Me: ... -- (On Kid Beyond...) PrepubeGirl: OMG, Britney, that guy was SO kewl. He came out in a Batman costume, and beat-boxed and did this techno stuff all with his mouth. LOL, so funny! Doesn't that, like, blow your mind?! Zach looks so hot in his tight hipster stripes I need to go to Urban Outfitters like now. Let's go get some autographs... Girl'sMom: Oh, food! Do they have pineapple iced tea? When do you think the new TurboTax is coming out? Me: ... -- (On Scissors For Lefty...) PrepubeGirl: OMG, Scissors was awesome. They're like The Strokes and Panic! At the Disco put together with a singer that looks like Jason Mraz. All my favorites! And they came in costumes too! LOL. Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas! I'm SO buying another Jack Skellington hoody now. It's still so totally relevant. Doesn't that, like, blow your mind?! Kevin just proposed underage sex in front of my parents. Let's go get some autographs... Girl'sMom: I wonder if that Mitchell Theatre next door is still playing "Ratatouille..." Me: I HATE ALL-AGES SHOWS!! -- Retrospective: The bands were all fantastic, particularly Kid Beyond, and GAMH serves as a beautiful venue. DJ Felina, who spun between sets, carried the audience away with her blend of brilliant "Equatorian" rhythms. In all seriousness, it was a really great show. Thanks, Performer Magazine! Now I'm going home with Tina, and we're totally going to make fun of Bobby's over-conditioned hair... LOL. What a loser!
