[Leica] California Theater

[Herbert Kanner]

Thanks, Jim. Actually, IMHO, it’s a crappy concert hall, at least in the balcony. We sit near the front of it, and the volume is unpleasantly loud. Once we came late, an temporarily had to sit at the top of the balcony. The volume there was intolerable.
