• Settlement: Often settled in CASH at the end of the night. Have a secure way to carry your payout.
• Load-In: Side of the building. It’s a tight fit for trailers.
• Insider Tip: “Parking is strictly enforced until 10:00 PM. Tell your fans (and your van driver) to use the Washington Street Deck (125 W Washington St). It’s a 2-minute walk, the first hour is free, and it’s safer than the street for a gear-filled van.”
