    Do any Houstonians know of a practice space place in the downtown area that's NOT Francisco's? My band is looking to move.

    Thanks in advance for any replies!
     
  2. sorry can't help you with that... my band practices in a recording studio :) and i don't know squat about downtown... except where minutemaid park is
     
  3. Dude, you were at Francisco's? Was it the downtown one or the one off of W Belfort? If it was W Bellfort I may have seen you once or twice.

    I was at Francisco's off of W Belfort back when I was in my last band. Dear goodness it was in teh ghetto! Some dude got shot outside one time while I was loading my gear into the building after a gig.



    The Rock Center in Bellaire is pretty decent, but it's somewhat of a drive depending on where you live. http://houston.citysearch.com/profile/map/9936498/houston_tx/rock_center_band_rehearsal_std.html

    Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'm looking into the Rock Center now.

    I've never been to Francisco's, but I've heard enough about it that I want to avoid it at all costs.

    PM ryanown. He might know some other places. I want to say that he owns some practice space himself somewhere in Houston but I might be wrong.

  8. Wow...where? I live somewhat close to that area and I've never heard of any practice spaces in that area.

    I gave it a shot, but it seems username ryanown does not exist, at least according to the PM service.
     
  10. i don't know where exactly. i'd have to ask my friend.
    i'm assuming it's in the same building as the shops right on the intersection

    It is near I-10 and the beltway so it may be a bit far for you.

    Hehe... That's actually where I'm at right now. It is a bit far, that's partially why we're moving.

    That is funny. My office is just down the road from there.
