So what's the story?

at the brandon butler show there were some underage kids that were drinking and letting off fireworks.  the cops were called.  this could be the reason but im not sure..

Same here.  I've been looking forward to the Evens, Mary Timony and Shellac all summer.

[jude376]

Yeah, I haven't been yet either. But really looking forward to the Evens. Maybe Mary Timony as well - depends, as I've seen her (solo and with Helium) about a million times. Who's this Shellac everyone's raving about?

[bearman🐻]

There's always been an occasional cop around whenever I've been there for shows. I thought that was pretty much the norm.

between amanda's talk before head-roc and the first 10 minutes of head-roc's set, that was the most i've been lectured to since college.

The issue seems to be with people who haven't been to college yet and probably could use a lecture.

yeah, i'm not complaining, just made me feel old. those kids don't know what they could be ruining. can't they at least get stoned BEFORE they come to the park? idiots.

well someone like, attempted to torch the porta potty a few weeks ago or something...or at least that's what appeared to be happening.  what happened last night?  i don't understand how it's difficult to just sit on the grass without any firearms for a couple of hours.  whoever is being silly these days obviously hasn't learned to pre-game.

Some kid wrote an IM to his friend saying "Let's go smoke pot at Fort Reno tomorrow."  The kid must be a moron, because his mom found it and called the police, who then called Ft. Reno people.  Now, apparently, the police feel like they need to be more of a presence at the shows, and Ft Reno has to pay them to be there (I think 250 dollars a show) or risk losing the permit.  They said if that goes on too long, the season will risk being cut short, simply because the funds aren't available.
 
 It just pisses me off to no end.  If you need to blaze that badly, just smoke up before the show.

[you be betty]

yeah tell me about it...that is absolutely ridiculous.

[vansmack]

Bunch of savages in this town.

[Bombay Chutney]

I hope everyone here donates money to Fort Reno.  At least buy a t-shirt or give them a few bucks next time you're at a show.

wait, the kid's mom just flat-out called the cops?  instead of just confronting her kid??  wtf?!  whose parents do that?!

I know!  So messed up.  I'm assuming there had been previous problems with that kind of thing, hence her freaking out. . but still, messed up.
