I emphatically agree with Duane here.  This venue SUCKS! Unless they raise
the stage or else lower the floor in front of it (a more plausible solution)
I am never going there again. I made the mistake of taking a piss just as
BOC was starting. So by the time I got back, the floor in front of the stage
was packed. I cound not see anything at all. The security guys wouldn't let
anyone stand on chairs either. Luckily, my friend found a spot for us on
the side of the stage. We could at least "see" the band (most of the time)
but the sound quality sucked since we were behind the speakers. This was
the WORST BOC show I've ever been to. The show itself seemed great, but the
venue is horrible. The moral of the story is ... don't go to any shows
at The Edge.

p.s. - I missed you Duane. I was wearing my Nethawks shirt and some
       dude asked me if I knew you. I don't think he was on the list
       and I can't remember his name (I couldn't hear very well).
