LOL! I think everyone has had the same experience at Gabe's, it's just worse in the winter. I swear those shakey stairs are meant to be bolted to the side of a building and not sticking straight out the back door. In talking about this same situation one of the guys in Slobberbone said they played there in the dead of winter and after the first load up the stairs he watched their van slide down hill towards the street on the ice.
