Fingerprints in Long Beach.   They have some good pretty instore shows.  Saw 
the Gripweeds and Rockfour a couple or years ago.  Also recently saw Dave 
Alvin.

A new store, 2 blocks from my home is opening very soon..  No clue what kind 
of music they will focus on.  It will be interesting to see if this place 
thrives.
