Funky place, Club Laga.  Fourth floor of 4 or 5 story building.  Very w-i-d-e and shallow, really high 3-sided balcony with almost stadium seating.  Ran right in front of the board, which is as deep as I could go on the floor and still be center (without runnig inside the barkeep or behind it in the caged-in drinking area).  My only complaint for the night:  the PA wasn't cranked enough.  As a result, the crowd was *way* louder than the music.  Compressed the audience applause to make listening more enjoyable.  Unedited master available if anyone really, really wants it.
