The interior of The Slowdown, photo taken waaay back in 2007 when the club opened.

Let’s assume you haven’t picked up a copy of the printed version of The Reader, which is (obviously) the most convenient way to read all the content included in the Reader‘s 2015 Music Issue.

Trying to read all the Music Issue information online can be a bit frustrating. It would have been nice for The Reader to place all the info into one “package” that flows from one piece to the next.

Fear not, that package is right here.

This morning my feature on The Waiting Room and The Slowdown went online at The Reader‘s website. It joins Wayne Brekke’s piece on the Harney Street Tavern and BJ Huchtemann’s picks of favorite venues including the 21st Saloon, and my feature on O’Leaver’s, which went online last week. Here’s the index:

The Reader‘s Music Issue — The Venues:

• O’Leaver’s
• The Waiting Room and The Slowdown
• The Harney Street Tavern
• Hoodoo Venues (BJ’s picks)
• The 21st Saloon

While were at it, here are the Reader‘s Best Bands lists:

• Tim’s List of Top Bands
• Wayne’s List of Top Bands
• BJ’s List of Bands She Likes

Of course, you can always just grab your copy of The Reader at your local bar, coffee house or bookstore.
