In the front right-hand corner is the Eagles section: there is a signed photo of the band (Timothy edition, Long Run era I believe) and a framed cover of the live album. That's it, as far as I could make out.
Was it blocked off and completely dark? When Dreamer, HB, and I went recently, it was somewhat dark and empty except for the bartender and a guy selling merchandise, but open. It's just that when there's a show, people hurry past the front bar to go into the backroom. It was nice for us, because we were able to order drinks and look at the memorabilia without bumping into others. I've been there on a weekend when the front bar is so packed you can't even get the bartender's attention.
If it was completely blocked off, I imagine it's just a temporary thing. I guess we'll see in January!

It wasn't blocked off, but it was completely dark and no one was there. The bigger, square bar in the stage area was open. Probably because attendance was so low that night, it didn't make sense to have both bars going.
I didn't realize you'd been there, Soda. It's a neat little place.

I have found a flight combination that can get me out on Friday afternoon though I won't get to LAX till shortly after midnight. That allows me Monday to travel home. Means I should only need one day off as Friday is a 1pm finish anyway. So I'm good for the weekend. I also have some dollars saved from our holiday earlier this year
