Where to shoot a video…or tape digitally

Hey, comics: We would appreciate your feedback on this. (Feedback is easy– just click on the “Comments” link at the end of this post. Comment anonymously, if you like.)

WHERE are the best clubs in the U.S. and Canada for videotaping one’s act? Important criteria are: Good crowds, good sight line from the camera to the stage, minimal waitstaff traffic, minimal audience noise, minimal bar noise, proximity to the stage, good sound system, aesthetic appeal of the backdrop, helpful tech staff. If the club has a system in place and it’s merely a matter of supplying blanks, tell us about them, too, and include a rating on the quality of the tape.

WHERE are the best clubs in the U.S. and Canada for digitally audiotaping one’s act? Please don’t leave any advice as to the best Mini-Disc recorder to purchase or how to thread a Sennheiser lavaliere up through one’s pantleg. Those are discussions for a different posting altogether. What we want is info on clubs that have a DAT system setup (and are cooperative about allowing comics to tape).

Keep in mind: If the club charges a fee to tape (video or audio), we’d rather not include them in this list. (And, please spare us the explanation for why the clubs charge– we’ve heard them all and they don’t wash.)
