My husband and I attended a concert here last night with a Van Morrison cover band. The band was great and the venue was very nice.
What was awful, though, was the fellow who got up on stage during intermission to make various announcements. He called up to the stage one of the staff members who was retiring and handed him a roll of toilet paper for some reason? So that was bizarre.
