Best Skate Shop Music Venue

Okay, so it's probably the only skate shop/music venue. But there's a big stage, excellent PA (better than a lot of clubs), and lots of room to see bands, including Sixteen Deluxe, the Motards, and Buzzcrusher. Plus posters, skatewear, shoes, and boards. Music usually starts Saturdays at 7pm. Good deal -- you're depriving yourself if you don't check it out.
