Best place to throw a show that’s not a house

Seeing bands play at Third Space Art Collective always reminds me of going to a house show. Maybe it's because the room is often filled with college students who already know each other. Or maybe it's that the musicians stand so close, get so intimate and usually hang around afterward. Just like a house show—except that being a collective and whatnot, it's easy to experience Third Space on another level. Pay $50 per month and gain access to the venue's art supplies, studio space and—yes—the ability to throw events. That means house shows, without wrecking your own house. 946 Olive Drive in Davis, (530) 341-0540, www.thirdspacedavis.com. J.B.
