She doesn’t ask - she always screams
Last week Dean and Britta played at the Triple Door in Seattle, which had been my favorite place to see shows ever. One of the friends I invited to come had asked “how does seating work @ the triple door?” It’s basically first come, first served with awesome tables, dinner served and a full bar, but what turned out to be the more interesting question was “what time do shows start at the Triple Door?” Because if you’re Dean and Britta, I guess it goes like this:
- Scheduled showtime is 7:30.
- Your opener cancels.
- You start playing immediately at 7:30.
What could be more obvious to your fans than that if your opener doesn’t show up, of course you should go on when the doors open? So stupid. At least I got there just after 7:30 so I didn’t miss much, and what I did see was terrific. I’m just glad I wasn’t the poor couple who showed up at the adjacent table who got there just in time to be told it was last call and who only barely caught the encore.
