State Theatre

Caught a show here on Friday night with a long lost friend. I was late, and still managed to end up directly in front of the stage. This is a beautiful theater, and they pull in some really great acts.

Apparently during the opening act I was standing next to the lead singer for the headlining band. No big deal, just chillin in Maine.

The bathroom and bar lines were really fast. Definitely a place I will revisit the next time I am in Portland!

Went to see Lamb of God on 6/16/13. The outside is deceiving, as it looks really small. Inside is much larger. Compared to the venue in Worcester, Mass, I would prefer this venue. The theater was in great shape, the sound was great. Parking is not too bad. We ended up paying only 5 dollars for a lot behind a bike shop a block down. Not too bad, but no outdoor smoking area :(

Just got back from seeing "The Moth" show. It was a nice enough show, but we must strongly echo other reviewers who talk about the seats. We are big girls, and used to getting seats on the aisle and being a little snug, but never have I paid so much $$ for  seats we (and other "average" and "small" size folks) just couldn't sit in comfortably, mostly because of leg/knee room. There isn't any, at least in the upper balcony seats. Luckily, the "sold out" show wasn't really (or folks just didn't show up?) and an usher directed us to empty seats in the front row of the upper balcony. What would we have done had the show been truly "sold out?" Not entirely sure. We spoke about standing in the back. We could not, in a truly "sold out" house, have spent all that time in those seats. Also, it was VERY hot and stuffy. The theatre needs to warn people about these seats. Or maybe charge five bucks for them. Or get some new ones.
