Revolution Hall
A Portland concert venue (chat shorthand: rev hall), referenced 21 times in the corpus across 2020-12-05 → 2025-08-17 and all seven members. The chat's most-mentioned live-music venue.
Revolution Hall (chat shorthand: rev hall) is a Portland live-music and event venue, in the chat's vocabulary continuously since 2020-12-05. It is the chat's most-mentioned single live-music venue, principally championed by Kyle Derrick (concert ticket aggregator) and Matt (jazz/funk band scout).
First mention
The earliest in-corpus mention is by Evan Bbbender on 2020-12-05 in dog-walking-as-pickup form:
"Dan I'm walking to rev hall if you fancy bringing the dog and fam" — Evan Bbbender, 2020-12-05
The form establishes the venue as accessible by foot from Evan's residence and as suitable for a child-and-dog drop-by — a usage profile the chat has confirmed repeatedly in subsequent years.
Documented shows
The chat has, across the corpus, documented the following Revolution Hall events as proposed or attended:
- 2022-10-21 — Stavros Halkias (Stavvy) (Matt: "Want to go see Stavvy at Rev Hall in May Bender?")
- 2024-07-06 — an unnamed jazz/funk band (Matt: "Going to an old jazz/funk band @ rev hall tonight if anyone is interested. Tickets aren't particularly cheap though that's the only issue").
- 2024-09-26 — Explosions in the Sky (Kyle Derrick: "Explosions in the sky playing rev hall tonight of anyone wants to goon").
- 2025-03-15 — an unnamed instrumental-post-metal band (Kyle: "Anyone wanna take shrooms and go to an instrumental post-metal show at rev hall tonight? I got an extra ticket(gratis obviously)").
- 2025-09-09 — Dan Carlin live (Kyle: "Any of you hardcore history fans going to dan Carlin live at rev hall Friday September 9th?", posted 2025-04-10).
The list is the chat's most-attested per-venue concert-going history.
"That's just the cost to fuck at rev hall according to cullen"
Matt's 2024-07-06 follow-up to his own jazz/funk-band invitation is the chat's most-quoted Revolution Hall ticket-pricing post:
"That's just the cost to fuck at rev hall according to cullen" — Matt, 2024-07-06
The construction — Matt citing Cullen's pricing-philosophy in the third person to defend his own ticket purchase — is the chat's only documented case of in-chat live-music ticket-prices being explicitly defended-by-proxy.
"Quick fuckwater"
The earliest documented post-Rev-Hall itinerary is Daniel Miller's 2021-01-23 combined plan:
"Let's do rev hall, get some MCB and then hit steam for a quick fuckwater" — Daniel Miller, 2021-01-23
The construction — rev hall, then MCB, then Steam — is the chat's earliest documented three-venue Portland evening itinerary and the encyclopedia's preferred reference for the venue's role as a route-anchor.
Critical assessment
Kyle Derrick's 2025-08-17 post is the chat's only documented superlative declaration about the venue:
"I love rev hall" — Kyle Derrick, 2025-08-17
