Smallhouse Log

Sunday?

Right now, I'm taking out my frustration with my search for a halfway-decent IDE or editor for python. Finally found one that doesn't seem to be a kludgey mess, but I'll wait to pimp it until I'm a little more familiar.

Saw some good shows recently for free: Jon Drake and the Shakes at the Double Door, and Amy Ray at Lincoln Hall. Now, my love of the Double Door is well documented, but those who know me well are equally familiar of my distrust of anything to do with Lincoln Park, especially 'cultural' whats-have-you. I'm glad to say, though, that I can recommend the Lincoln Hall for several reasons. They are as follows, in the order which I noticed them:

  • Easy to find and get to. Helpful with groups, I'm sure, and the red line is right there.
  • The staff are both knowledgeable and nice. Generous, even. I mentioned getting in for free; well, that was because I got there after Amy's set was half-done. The doormen encouraged me to go in and enjoy the rest of the show, no worries. Just, you know, buy a beer or something.
  • No ridiculous rules about dancing. I'm looking at you, Metro! In fact, I saw several peeps dancing vigorously.
  • Green line on tap, 'nuff said.

It's nice to know that not all mass venues are hateful.
