Halocene

The event was handled well, though a little confusingly. There should be directions in the email received from the facility re: will-call that if you are on a VIP for one of the artists, that you don't have to join the giant will-call line that already wrapped around 2/3 of the block almost 2 hours before doors. I'm giving the entire experience a 5, though I felt that The Athenaeum could have handled concessions a little better, they were overpriced - like movie theater priced. When you're not allowed to bring your own liquids, and there's inadequate airflow, a bottle of water should not cost $5 and only be accessible by running through a crowd or by signaling staff that you're about to pass out. As for the staff themselves, they did wonderfully with the setup they had to work with. They removed several people for what appeared to be medical issues (overheating I think) during the final performance, and did it quickly and quietly. Halocene was a once in a lifetime show that I will always remember, especially with how much my two kids enjoyed it. I hope to catch them again next time they're in the northeast, and would return to The Athenaeum Theater if that's where they decided to play. The same goes for Icon for Hire and Citizen Soldier.
