text: A 5-star performance in a 2-star venue - that's what it was when I recently went to the Marquee.\n\nTo be fair - there was some good.  It's conveniently located and, as far as I know, I didn't contract any strange diseases while there.\n\nNow, the rest.\n\nFirst strike - our experience trying to park.  First led into the tiny parking lot then told it was full by staff who seemed like it was their first day on the job.  How to get out?  They weren't sure.  What?\n\nOkay, parked across the street - still plenty of time for the show.  Then - the clusterf*ck that was the line to get in, aided by the total lack of signs differentiating between those there to buy tix and those with tix.  No rhyme, no reason.  Strike two.\n\nInside now - to the bar for a refresher.  $7 for a warm, flat beer served by a guy that acted as if it were solely my fault he had to work that night.  Strike three.\n\nThe show, as mentioned, was solid.  There are no bad seats (standing spots) in the place, though the acoustics are sort of like playing a stereo in a large closet.\n\nIt would take a band I really, really want to see to bring me back.
