The space is built like an ark, so those from the middle to the back can see nothing. The age limit is a problem, but maybe the assumption is that you need to get some dirt on your hands before you can appreciate good blues. Now, House of Blues is going electronic every Sunday night with a series called Nutrition, where Shovel magazine brings in DJs to spin...
