First time I saw Gwar was at this club in Houston called The Abyss. They had someone paint the bands logo and the date of the first time they played there on the walls. Their roof was permanently stained from previous Gwar shows. I think my white shirt wound up...pink (?) by the time the show was over. The club was primarily a metal club, so most shows you could walk up to the day of the show and just walk right on in and pay to get in. There was always a line around the block whenever Gwar played.
