Of all the rehearsal factory locations downtown, the Geary location probably delivers the best value in terms of location, room size, and good times. I like that the superintendent isn’t constantly barging into my band’s space(a problem we were dealing with in another location which will go unnamed). Basically, it lacks sketchy people, and that is awesome. Seriously. The hourly rooms are a bit tacky(themed rooms needn’t exist), but they do the trick and have semi-decent gear. Unlike a lot of hourly places, the drums are kept in good repair, which will shock and amaze you if you’ve ever seen what passes for a drumkit at some spots. So you should start a band with people who are rad, and play some shows. Work your way there by practicing at a decent spot like the Geary RF. Then scream Motorhead lyrics until your throat is hoarse. Party on!
