upstairs in the back of the main room (we try to keep the small poetry room open for browsing but if that space is needed, we can for sure use that space)  

Load in via the backstage door located on the northwest corner of the building. Artists are directed in the venue advance to call my stage manager upon arrival who will then direct the flow of gear and do check in's.  Some gear might be able to be carried up the stairs while some may be directed to go into the lift (located at the northeast corner of the building). Artists can park in the alley only to load in and out but must move their vehicles after to keep it clear for other groups.

Drive around the backside and load in by the stage

Bands can load in from the alley perpendicular to Walnut st. near the Emporium entrance. This can only be used for loading in and out. Bands must utilize public city parking.

The Artists are welcome to load in at Kens Muffler and load their gear into the Mothership side entrance, we will stage on deck musicians on the ramp and off to the side stage left. We will stage all other gear underneath the Mothership area, we will have stantions to block off the gear to make it a bit more organized. 

Artists are welcome to park at Ken's Muffler after 5pm, if it is before 5pm we ask that they find a spot in our regular parking lot or one block north off of Hickory St. Do not park in our employee parking lot, you will be towed. 

Back alley for load in, they can pull up along the wall of the parking garage, making sure to leave space for thru-traffic. Staging area will be in our back hallway.

Parking is on any of the streets, or the parking garage ($1/hour)

Load In:  Both stages- South gate   
Staging Location: down the hall to the left against the wall that opens toward the patio doors 

There is a side door on the east side of the building that can be used. Otherwise the main entrance on the north side of the building is fine.
