  An early morning thunderstorm or two rolled through today so we stayed indoors until it broke up a bit. We ventured out to breakfast around 9:30am.
  As I sat in Everything Pop and looked around I really think if they did something to make it feel less of a warehouse it would be a better experience.. also maybe something to absorb the sound more. It can get loud.
