do you think any of the stuff will overlap between the two venues? like if i went to the 7pm sat at union hall would there be any time crunch in getting to the 9pm at bell house? i have no idea how long these things are supposed to last

things are timed so that you won't miss a thing in either place. obvs.

dumb question -- but they don't put chairs out at the bell house for this, do they? it's all standing, right?

they have chairs out for the shows at bell house. yes, the opening awards were a little rough, but invite them up was awesome and sold out.
you prob should show up early for maya even if you got will call tickets to make sure you get a seat. its a big venue, but the lineup sunday night is crazy.
now eugene is required, of course, to add a clause in his will and leave his skull to union hall, ala del close.
