You worked in there? Gawd!!! It was torn down to make room for another
Hilton hotel tower and parking. Both Don Ho and Jim Nabors
(Gaaaawleeee!) were the last ones to play there if I remember
correctly. Also, they were having a big problem with so many cats
living in there, and pigeons, which means there were probably a lot of
rats too.


When I was in high school I wound up carrying stuff and wrapping cables
for a lot of folks in the area. I think the Kaiser and the Conroy Bowl
were probably the two worst-sounding places I had ever heard until I got
to work a tent at the E.K. Hernandez Midway....

Not to worry Scott, we have some other REALLY bad places for you to
try. BTW, what show were you working on at "The Dome?"


Damned if I can even remember these days. I worked on a lot of things,
including a really weird local Dixieland group. I think I had just missed
Arthur Lyman at the time.

Look me up when you get here again. Of course we'll talk audio so you
can write off your trip too. I do this for all my audio friends!


I think it would be too depressing. Everyone I went to high school with
has moved to the Bay Area for the low cost of living. Places that I
remember as being cane fields are now hotels. I don't want to see that.
It's bad enough seeing what has happened here in Virginia in the past
couple decades.
