interesting discussion going on hereseriously?
The fact that they are trying to shut down these house shows is absolutely sickening. Not only has every house show I’ve been to in Athens been completely welcoming - but never in my 3 years on campus has a show ended up in turmoil. And by commercial venue - you mean collecting donations for bands for gas money? It’s something that is customary at any concert [whether it’s a door price, or the band selling merch, some have even gone as far as having a donation jar at merch tables]. Never, ever, has anyone been frowned upon or turned away for not donating.
The people who are complaining about this are 110% bored - and WOULD wait until a time where the majority students were off campus to bring this “issue” up.
Also - they may want to pay a little more attention to frat/house parties. I sure there is some high statistic for rape, abuse, and fights being harbored there.
