The Depot Sucks
Don’t ever go to The Depot. Every since the Zephyr closed there has been a huge hole in the Salt Lake music scene. It is amazing to me that no club has been able to get the quality and quantity of acts to come to Salt Lake since. I had high hopes for The Depot when they opened, then I heard who owned it. The same douche bags from United Concerts, Smith Tix, and Usana Amphitheater own The Depot. That means grab your ankles folks. The same ass hats who charge you a $12 “convenience” fee to buy a ticket online are now gonna try and ruin the club music scene as well. Shit.
I have been to a couple of shows at The Depot before and with the exception of Hank III they have all sucked. $7 fucking Bud Light in a plastic cup, no parking, slow motion bar tenders… I thought Usana Amphitheater with the mile walk between the wristband assignment and the beer stand and the 2 hour traffic jams to leave was the Citizen Cane of a bad customer experience, well The Depot makes Usana look like Gigli.
I was pretty excited to see the Henry Rollins spoken word show tonight. Doors opened at 7 I arrived at 7:15. The main level was pretty much packed. There was a 15 minute line for the bar. No problem I can go to the upper level. I go up and I am greeted by a surly wench who tells me the top is “VIP” seating and I must pay an additional $38 US American dollars to sit there. Yeah right. Eat shit you fucking money grubbing fuctards. I don’t care if Jimi Hendrix rises from the grave and does a one time show at your crappy club. I will never go to another show at the fucking Depot again. I wish a thousand lifetimes of famine and locusts on the owners of that entire greedy organization. Thanks to the dude at the ticket office for giving me a refund, after explaining my experience I could see that he knew I was right and the he knew he worked for the worst type of assholes imaginable. I could see the shame in his eyes.
Rock On
