I just got this from Anderson. This shit is fucking weak.

----

I was looking forward to having you set up more shows
at Skybar...but I recently found out we're losing the
bar.

Not because of finances or low attendance, mind you
(I'm told I brought up attendance by 72% since last
October when I took over) but because someone called
the Somerville Fire Dept. and reported us for not
having a $30,000 "Rhode Island style" sprinkler
system. So yeah, they're shutting us down...possibly
as soon as JULY 15th. The owner doesn't have the $ to
renovate, which is going to leave me and all my staff
out of work. I'm scrambling to find another venue to
book so my sorry arse can stay off of disability. All
I wanted to do was help local New England artists and
it seems even that dream is being taken from me, too.

Matthew and I are trying to figure out our next step.
If you have any leads, or know of any clubs that want
professionalism, promotion, great music, and someone
who is ethical and honest, feel free to put them in
contact with me.

Thanks, and I look forward to working with you in the
future.

Yeah, because 70% of Boston's metal shows have been happening here since January. This is fucking gaysauce.

Correct.

The same reason Area Venue got shut down.

that fucking sucks. i've only been to the skybar 2 or 3 times, but it was an awesome venue.

It's also the same reason why a few other clubs have been shut down.

Hah - some dude whose dad works for Necco brought boxes of Necco wafers and Sky Bars to work, today. I've eaten so many of those damn things, it's disgusting.

damn that is wicked gay that they have to close down. but in all honesty, fire safety is obv very important and we wouldn't want one of our shows to go the way of that great white BS in RI.

it def sucks, but it is the owner's responsibility to provide a safe environment for bands to play - not sure how unsafe it was, i have never been. hopefully they can get their shit squared away as i believe we had two shows coming up there.

serious, all we need with all the bands there are now are more places for the bands to play.

Didn't this surface like a month ago? And it was dispelled then? Or is this something new and just plain suckage?

as long as the place isn't made of foam and there are no pyrotechnics it shouldn't be a huge concern

If I remember correctly an entire wall in the Skybar is made up of windows. There is also several objects which can be thrown at those windows in the event of an emergency that will require a life saving mass exodus.

There. There is your fire safety plan Boston.

[sigh]

that should be the way, but the place could be solid concrete and steel and they would still make a big deal out of it.

It was probably one of the locals who live around there who was pissed about having loud bands there. I hate Somerville.

In the old people's defense, lamp, most show-related drama that goes down is by the 16-20 year old younger crowd (perticularly hardcore) and they ruin it for everyone.

Forget the Station night club fire, the firefighters are the ones to blame here! Fuck heroes!



Skybar is a dive bar and that's why they cannot afford the sprinkler upgrades. Who gives a shit about that fag bar and darksky productions....even though they run "11% of the boston underground scene"...



toggletoggle post by timjohn at Jul 20,2007 12:37am
ya when i was in there i didn't even notice ANY sprinklers!



toggletoggle post by Hungtableed at Jul 20,2007 12:39am
When I was there, Darksky didn't pay us dick. Instead, they gave us a tally sheet in the form of a restaurant's menu that outlined their prices for "live recordings, pictures, etc..." Damn the Rev for free pictures!!! What a cheap bastard!
