340 Coup
so… is everyone going to the be at the sweatshop tonight? i haven’t been hungover at work in awhile. i also have yet to live out the dream of signing “Bastards of Young” at karaoke.
I was all set to agree with everything written hear until I read “good fries”. Define “good”, friend. They tasted like they were simmered in the sweat scraped off the stage after 4 metal bands finished lengthy sets.
That being said, this is sad. Pub 340 was the first public place I vomited at. *tear*
It is time to declare war once and for all on emo.
edr:
This sucks and the were the ony venu with a decent sound system and good fries…
Wow. Just…wow. The dearth-of-live-venues BS saga continues. I hate this town sometimes.
why? why Pub 340? why does this happen in the last place where you could get a reasonably priced drink on any day of the week and see live music? i’m fucking moving to Berlin with my girlfriend.
is it too early to ask if the vic square after party is still here?
Three of my friends were fired from Pub 340 today without any warning. Six people were fired in total. They are all being replaced by new staff of the screamo variety. The booker, Malice, has been banned from the bar for 6 months. My best friend David suspected that something was up last week when training some 21 year old with a lip ring (that I’ve been told by is going to be ripped out) who had the arrogance to tell him “things are going to change around here”. We suspect his girlfriend, who was also recently hired, has planned this whole coup in attempts to take over booking there. Fuck that place. I doubt they want their jobs back but they should all demand compensation. Of which they are all eligible for considering that none of them had received any written warning prior to being fired.
Something of a wake will be held tonight at the Sweatshop aptly titled the FUCK PUB 340 party. There will be drinks and karaoke.
