Oh, gotcha. That’s an interesting thought, but I would still be worried about the possibility of bullets and molotovs flying around my venue and people dying, when all of that is avoidable by just saying no to having the event in the first place.

People are fantasizing about sticking it to the fascists (which, believe me, I’m 1000% for), but this just isn’t the way to do it, IMHO.

Did you mean to reply to someone else?

Would you invite a large scale firefight at your place of work? Probably not. This is unnecessarily risky any way you look at it. I don’t make decisions that put people in danger…

That’s pretty risky… As someone who works in many venues (touring live production), I wouldn’t want to throw venue security into the line of fire like that. No venue security crew is equipped to deal with mobs with molotovs…

Crazy how, in a country with 255 million (in 2020) citizens of voting age, more people will come out to vote against a wannabe dictator. What could possibly possess people to want to protect their rights, right!? Must be fake.

Well, it’s very meaningful to continue to support your emotional support corporations. They need us as much as we need them. That’s why you need to buy the product, and the “continued use” package. They’re not charging extra for standard things just to charge extra. It’s about the continued closeness in your relationship with daddy Tesla.

My soon-to-be mother-in-law is an absolute saint. I wish my biological mother was a lot more like her tbh

I agree with you that he’s a serial criminal. I don’t agree that he should be given the death penalty, unless he’s found guilty of a crime that would warrant that punishment.

We don’t sentence people based on our feelings about them because it’s impossible to do so in an objective, fair way across all courts. This man has enjoyed an absurd level of luxury/freedoms throughout his life, relative to just about everyone else. Let him rot in prison for the rest of his life. I hope he lives to 100 in there.

Have you? Houston isn’t the “concrete jungle” it was in the 80’s… I personally prefer it over NYC and LA. Chicago is a close second to Houston for me.

Livenation was founded in the mid-late 90’s, but didn’t hold significant power in the live music industry until the mid-2000’s. Before that, a pricey ticket for a national act was anything over $25. When I started my career in live production, in 2010, many venues were still putting on local/national act shows for $5 - $20 a ticket. Since then, I’ve seen ticket prices for the same type of shows double, in non-LN venues, and triple or more in LN venues. Same thing for drink/concession prices. If you were a teen/young adult in the 90’s you likely had better access to affordable concerts than people these days.

The problem is Texas has some of the most egregious gerrymandering/voter suppression in the country.

It’s not half of the US population. It’s around 30% of eligible voters (as of 2022). That’s still a huge number of people (74 million), but it’s a lot less than half…

Mhmm, sins of the parents pass down and all that. That’s sky daddy justice right thurr.
