text: I've only just now read the reviews here for the Marquee. I wish I had read them before I went to try to see a show there, and I might have saved myself time. I arrived an hour early because I could find no detailed information about the venue or the specific show online. The security was way over the top - after being patted down and having every pocket of my purse inspected with a flashlight, I expected to enter into an awesome venue. But there wasn't much awesome about the experience. There were two opening acts, and it took well over 30 minutes between sets for them to set up and go on. I don't know if it was the people at Marquee who were having issues getting things moving along, but the opening \"guests\" were hardly worth listening to, and any energy in the crowd had plenty of time to die down between sets. As the small crowd waited for an actual show, they were able to purchase $7 beers ($6 for a budlight) at the bar, or sit outside on the patio and smoke. Inside, the music pumped through the speakers bounced painfully from dusty cement walls to dirty cement floors and into my ears. No wonder I woke up with a headache.
