I once owned a Venue/Bar. I made a lot of money in the 90s and early 2000s. Around 2004 my business hit rock bottom because of a lot of new issues and violation due to the station night club fire and new American policies regarding venues. I used to have the cash to bring in awesome bands to my place of business and I was able to pay them a good amount for their entertainment. What happened was more venues closed because they couldn't afford the changes that were required. Anyway long story short my bar had to close it doors in 05. People who support illegal shows in warehouses dont realize they take away from a real venue and make it so we all have to close. They have illegal shows in places that are totally against code yet still charge and sell/trade and byob so there is no need for real club anymore and we are all going under. So you can have your illegal venues but when you realize it only kills business and makes it so that way you can only play illegal shows and not have any cash flowing and it is killing what was once cool. So fuck you hipsters, oh wait you dont care about making money because you have daddies money to forward too instead.
