Canterbury in Summer - Slower?

[chrisdhal]

I decided to try to show up to Canterbury "early" on Friday. After fighting traffic I got there at 6:30 and got a seat at 3/6 in 10 minutes. WTF? On previous Friday nights I have had to wait up to 2 hours for a seat. Granted, I moved up to 3/6 from 2/4, but even the 2/4 line was only about 10 deep all night (more or less, I wasn't keeping that close of tabs on it).

Is Canterbury like this all summer or was it due to one of the first decent weekends of the year? Personally, I like it. It was still busy with lines at 2/4 and 3/6 and all the tables full, but the lines were moving quickly. I'll definitely be down there more often if I don't have to wait 2 hours for a seat.
