i remember valentines when the stage was in the back corner, not on the side wall. many a good one king down shows there lol, in fact thats where i got my first broken nose at a hardcore show. when i was in high school we used to drive up there (45 min from kingston) pound a bombers burrito, pound faces in the pit then drive home and hit the diner.
sad to hear the whole downtown is shuddering up. when i was at suny damn close to 10 years ago now going downtown was always nicer and a little more dress up than student ghetto bars like the post or the branch. idk if they are even open still
