Ruggles Warehouse

Played here twice and both times everyone involved was super cool, even letting us in the house to watch the Giants game and play with their (adorable) dogs. Super cool joint, looking forward to playing there again next time we’re out by Sac.
I’m really not sure what one expects when they go to a house show and complain about it being small (it’s not tiny — the garage will hold about 50 people) and getting a little beer spilled on them (I doubt I’ve been to a show where a beer was NOT spilled). House shows are fun precisely because they are small and crazy.

How is it a small small shed? Its one of the biggest garages for someone’s house that I have ever seen! I agree with Toni, it takes a great deal of patience for someone to open up their house and have floods of strangers there wandering around. Have you been to a hardcore show before anywhere? I suppose it’d be nice if every show were at Ace of Spades so no one can ever spill beer on you. Oh shit, you probably shouldn’t go outside either, I heard there’s a bunch of jerks out there too. The only time people really complain about the cliques at shows is when they feel like they aren’t getting the red carpet rolled out for them. Just thicken the skin up, yeah?

Aw, I’m sorry that Arianna M. had a bad time at Ruggles Warehouse. I don’t go there often enough, but I thoroughly enjoy it whenever I’m there. I’ve gone to tons of shows at houses and I admire anyone who has the patience to put one on. It seems pretty generous for someone to welcome random people and bands into their home — or garage, in this case.
*I’d also like to note that because you’re a punk or dress how you feel like dressing, doesn’t mean that you don’t take a shower. Just sayin’.

This venue is shit. The people who go here are all this one little group of people who all know and accept eachother and shun anyone else who looks different and smells appealing. I’m sorry Ruggles Warehouse, that I shower and don’t dress like my clothes came out of a trash can. The people here are all assholes, and they scream at you to turn the lights off. NO I DID NOT PAY 5 DOLLARS TO TURN YOUR LIGHTS OFF FOR YOU! YOU SPILLED YOUR BEER ON ME YOU TURN OFF YOUR OWN DAMN LIGHTS! The actual venue itself is a shed. A small small shed, covered in mattresses for sound proof… these mattresses are dirtier than the people who come here. And did I mention the people are assholes?
