a view from the inside @ Webster Hall - Oct 27, 2007 (CRED)
Jens Lekman

Have you ever noticed that little room behind the glass over the right of the stage (stage left) at Webster Hall? Have you ever wondered what those people were doing up there, who they were, if they were wearing clothes, or anything else wild and crazy like that? Have you ever wondered if they could see you staring up at them while they pushed their various body parts against the glass, blatantly smoked cigarettes, danced around, or just generally looked like they were having a good time while the real show was going on right below them? I wondered all of this during the Jens Lekman show at on Saturday night. Well, now thanks to the power of Flickr, we can get a glimpse of exactly what was going on up there on Saturday night....

Not really, because I have been up there. It is just a tiny room where the have bad catering food setup. Nothing special, especially considering how bad the food is. The separate staircase is nice.

I remember gay orgies up in that room in 2002.

I would imagine it is as illegal to smoke up there as it is out on the main floor. Oh wait, there are 2 kinds of clubgoers - us, and the kind who arrive in limos and are 15-19 years old with their dates who are 40-60 years old.

stage right is for the headliner, stage left for openers. no bathroom opener side, you have to walk around the crowd to go to the headliner one or downstairs to the crowd one. headliner side has nice couches and stocked fridge, opener side usually has just beers and waters. there is a hole in the ceiling of the opener side that was put in by someone who lost in a pullup match. he tried to do a pullup and jumped and put a hole in the ceiling, the ceiling is kinda short.

I think this is what they call a "dressing room." I wonder if the food is any good. Sorry, but this is one of the most retarded posts I've seen on this site.

That barrier should stay down. I've been to a few shows where it was up, but it was a lot cooler seeing Ted Leo there when it wasn't there. I hope it's not there for the Weakerthans tomorrow.

Is that the same barrier that was in place when it was the Ritz? I remember being smushed so many times against it.

Amy Winehouse is a scary looking lady. I understand why she is such a big Halloween hit. Love her music though
