Aw, man.  Why does it have to be at Hugh's Room?  I'd love to go, but I can so very rarely justify seeing shows at that overpriced geriatric venue.

(Edit -- although the ticket prices for Mike's show aren't really that bad... in order to get a decent seat, one pretty much has to commit to dinner there or sit and watch people eat, and that's either overpriced and mediocre or awkward.  Plus it's a fairly lousy room.  I know he's trying to get the attention of the middle-aged Volvo-driving elementary school teacher crowd and all, but seriously... can't he play just one decent venue in the downtown?)
