 2008 - Ban on people over 6 feet tall from attending ANY concert so nobody has to worry about not being able to see every inch of the stage.

HAHA!!! yes. DC would be the first place to do that too.

well said ... the large majority of people could give a fuck either way about this thing, and i'd be interested to see how many of the ban supporters actually go to bars (not restaurants) after dinner-time

ain't it great people who prefer to go to smokefree shows are bitchy... the only bitching i see here are from people bitching about people who want to go to smoke free shows.

Was it great because you said so, or was it really great?

Actually, it's because most moderates are apathetic.

Whoever owns the building should be able to decide the policies governing what happens inside so long as those acivities are within the law. And last time I checked, smoking was legal.
 
 That said, I won't be crying when the ban goes into effect, seeing as I don't smoke cigarettes.  Sometimes it bugs me a bit at shows, but not to the point of incessant bitching.

that place is like a airport smoking lounge, the ONLY reason anyone goes there is to smoke

[lbcardoni]

will smoke machines be banned?

[alex]

No, I do understand.  I understand that it's stupid for someone to not smoke all day, and then suddenly lose all self-control at night when they drink at a bar and feel the need to smoke with their drinks.  It's pointless, and adds to the already horrible air at the Black Cat.

If you don't understand it, then you've little room to comment.
 
 What, do you think people are lying just for the hell of it?  Just to fuck with you?  That's bullshit.
 
 The ban is happening.  The end.  As a "social, alcohol-induced" smoker I'm probably looking forward to the ban as much as many (I'm sure I'll quit, which is great) -- imagine how much more bearable Black Cat will be!!  But lay off the folks who will have big adjustments to make.  
 
 I have not had a cigarette that didn't follow at least 2 drinks in 6 or 7 years...Why would I make that shit up for you?? [/b]

I think my only real problem with smoking in a club like 930 is when you're smoking on the floor with a person next to you with really long hair and the cigarette is getting way too close. I don't know how many times my daughter has told me that story. If they could just say no smoking on a sold out floor, just for cautionary reasons, then that would be good enough. I mean, it is a club. I am more afraid of the burning hair aspect than the secondary smoke thing. I don't know which is worse, cigarette smoke or B.O.
