[Oo1wizard]

Dude, if you haven't been there you don't know security! I was there Nov. 22nd Method and Curren$y, I was the first one kicked out for smoking a doob at the smokers club tour lol but I got let back in, just shitty couldn't smoke!!!!!!! But they ragged on security all night even Smoke DZA lit up.

[HannaBanana77zz]

i have bin here aha its really cool. I live like an hour or like 2 away but its was cool

[allentown18]

the big acts definitely go there now

[endauthority]

this place is great if you like aggressive security thugs and employees that talk to you like youre a piece of shit no matter what

[popwarsk8er]

I've been there so many times, I live 20 minutes from there, me and Tom Taylor are pretty good friends

[GreatWasTheFall119]

The croc rock was the first time i saw for today, a plea for purging, crimson armada, the great commission, and tons of other bands security was good but not to good they will take someone out of there, but all together there isn't a better venue to see your favorite bands at in a relaxed but some how electrical atmosphere.

[spainoner]

thats on hamilton not far from the court house...i been there a couple of times specialy downstairs 4 karaoki...i used 2 come out of there at night and tag up jesussaves around the way :)

[greeneyedsteamengine]

I went to see Hank III last night and had a great time, the staff is friendly and I'll definitely be going back again. Thanks!

[Mercedes96xo]

i have a question.. how do u get up frontt???

[tjsvitak]

@Mercedes96xo pushing yourself up there

[oOkpd625Oo]

@Mercedes96xo If you want to get up front... There are two entrances 21 + in the front 18 and under on the side. Go to the 18 and under line (get there early) When they are let in they are closer to the stage. If you go through the front (21+) you have to walk through the bar then you enter the back of the concert area farthest from the stage. Other than that, push your way up. It is possible to get up there and creep your way between bands.

[jennyxfromxthexblock]

im going to a show there soon, is it a big venue? any idea of how many people fit into that place? like last month i went to a show at Theater of The Living Arts Center in philly, and i was just wondering if it was anything like that, because it was really small and a great show.

[cameroncrazy915]

Its a pretty small venue...its just all standing room with a bar on the side of the room. a couple hundered people. the shows are always real good there

[masterman3178]

@cameroncrazy915 well im not much of a consert person i just want to hear the music not jump around like im having a seizer so if i wanted to could i see the stage from the bar well im sitting and having a drink

[ellimem]

Best show I have ever been to was at the Croc Rock, 2 years ago I saw Against All Authority, Streetlight Manifesto, Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake. It was easily 120 degrees inside making it even better, the acoustics were perfect for a club and the ska sound is better nowhere. I have seen performances by lots of ska bands in lots of places, nothing will ever compare to that show.

[alwaysblinkin182]

how many songs did everyone get to play?

[ellimem]

AAA played 10ish, Streetlight played 12ish, LTJ played 20 and so did RBF. It was amazing.

[alwaysblinkin182]

well streetlights playing their soon and its just them, so do you think they will play 20ish or 12ish.

[ellimem]

20ish, headlining Ska acts usually play that number.

[alwaysblinkin182]

fuck ya, thank you so much, i hope your right.

[ellimem]

I hope so too, I'm hopefully gonna be hittin up that show as well, its about 4.5 hours away from me. After I go there I want to go down to Lancaster for the next nights show.

[alwaysblinkin182]

wow thats sounds amazing. i would do that too if i was able to, but im still only 17 and my parents wouldnt let me.... anyway ya the allen town show is only an hour away from where i am and so far i cant find a fucking ride there or back.... im sooo pissed.

[alwaysblinkin182]

so uuhh, im under 21 and i wanna get drunk before i go..... what do think good idea? or no

[Lunarsickness]

if you like metal you most definetly will get the big acts there :-D

[RotForMe76]

im goin to a show there, whats this venue like? ive heard the security sucks

[cameroncrazy915]

Its not too bad. they have seperate lines for 21+ and under 21 to get in, but inside it all standing room so I guess the security doesnt have too much power

[musicislove224]

I know people who perform there and stuff.. I really want to go see performances that are coming up and that place is like 15 minutes from my house why waist that opportunity! :)

[cameroncrazy915]

Yes I have. Most of the pictures, I actually took myself.

[a7x6freak66]
