Staying at the Galleon, at the north end of the island, my balcony overlooks one of the turns and is right by the marina that hosts all of the poker run boats. And it's a very short walk to Duval! It's a pretty hard spot to beat.
I mixed and my PA company provided sound for Damien and opening band Uncleknucklefunk on the deck of the Willis B Boyer freighter for the 25th anniversary of the Shed. That load in svcked. The load out was worse.
