Great concert but Birchemere needs improvement
by hawkc on 9/28/13Birchmere - AlexandriaSarah J was awesome. A great mix of songs from her prior work and her recent release. Her capabilities across a range of instruments is really remarkable. But the Birchemere needs to get away from its old business model -- force people to show up at 5 pm to wait an hour drinking $7.50 beers and eating small baskets of stale nachos, also $7.50. Rush in at 6 and then wait another 90 minutes for the show. The food and drinks inside weren't bad, just overpriced. I'd pay a premium for an assigned seat that I can show up and sit in at 715.
