House of Blues... any of 'em. Yes, they are expensive, but I find that it's well worth the cost. It's a a great venue, and usually the staff is very nice. Plus we ALWAYS manage to be the first in line thanks to their pass-the-line program. We just get there and eat lunch usually

- plus they're about the only place you're going to get
that close to the size of acts that usually play there (like Queensryche.)
Although the sound sucks down front, but who cares!?
