    The Fox ruined the SF music scene, but The Fillmore is still going strong.

    Watch out if you got your tickets emailed. Bouncers might lie about you needing to stand in line, and be super rude when you're angry about having to stand at the back of the line again.

    Shop at Safeway and leave obvious Safeway bags in your car so it doesn't get towed.

    The bar is cash only (or was last night anyways) so be sure and bring some loot or you'll be forced to wait in the mile long ATM line.

    Don't bring your pocket knife or reusable water bottle. They won't let you in with the knife and your water bottle has to wait out front. #Lame

    Go and catch a sold out show. Say "hi" to the greeter, grab a fresh apple, and receive your free limited edition poster on the way out.

    The staff had an absurd dedication to keeping the bar and walkways clear. You WILL break their rules without know it. Prepare to be hustled rudely out of the way.
