I'm a bit of a contrarian on this. The booking policy at Oslo was certainly good, but the place was narrow upstairs, cramped downstairs, the sound never seemed quite right, and the cigarette smoke -- well, that's a problem everywhere, but the music room was pretty bad for that. I was only there maybe six times, all during the festival, but it was not a place I really went out of my way to go. The problem was the darn booking policy kept bringing in my friends to play :)
