    Yes it's great to see. I think that group has been around for a while,like 20 years or so.

    For some reason I thought you were a really young dude.

    ^^^ Best way to be, we're in our 50s, and easily the oldest at a lot of concerts we go to (although sometimes when we do the Lyric or Ballet, we're among the youngest). We were dancing around, banging our heads and everything else at Sleigh Bells a coupla years ago at the Diamond, while most of the kids just stood there and nodded their heads, funny...

    I noticed today that the North front is all bricked up. Looks good.

    Criterion is taking all my money. I've already bought tickets for three shows. That whole Steelyard area is looking impressive from 235 going south. Very exciting time for OKC.

    Will it be a LED screen or just a basic slot board type of system with removable letters?

    Not sure if this has been brought up before, but is it really possible for them to get all the inspections they need done before opening in 3 weeks? Seems to me counting on the city to get that done between when they finish this and the first show on the 28th is putting a lot of faith in system.

    No kidding.

    They must be pretty confident in order to not only open on 3/24 but they have two shows the next weekend as well.

    They must be pretty far along on the inside too. They also have to get all the audio and lighting installed. Probably not a monster job for an experienced firm, but I can't imagine they're just sitting around waiting for the venue to say "go". If they pull it off, you should try and get an interview with the contractor and find out how they managed this schedule with all the subs.

    I know they were using a big east coast a/v consultant for their sound work and they specialize in live music venues.

    Same company is being used by the Jones Assembly.


    Being in the a/v business myself, I can tell you that the actual installation of the equipment can be done very quickly. Everything gets planned, ordered then you can pre-wire as soon as the walls go up. After they are finished with all the dirty parts of construction, you merely roll the equipment in, install it in place and test everything out.


    Much more problematic is getting a certificate of occupancy and your liquor license. For the latter, they won't even come out and look until absolutely everything is finished and all the furniture is placed. Then, it still takes weeks. I suspect in this case they will either open without a liquor license or already have some sort of special arrangement for a quick inspection and turn-around.
