I've been attending shows at 9:30 on a regular basis now for the past six years. On my first few visits there, I was a bit tentative about my surroundings since everything in that vicinity was new to me. However, now that I am used to going to the club, I really don't have any problems. I've never had my car broken into or any damage at all done to my car. Normally what I do is any cd's or anything else that could be considered valuable, I stash under my seats. The only thing that sticks out is the sun shield for my windshield that stays rolled up in my backseat.
Now I do have to admit, that I did get a little freaked out when I left the club early Sat. morning and 8th and V were taped off with patrol cars there for whatever happened. That was the first time in six years that I was a little uneasy about being around there.
No matter what, there really isn't any place safe these days. And it's been like that far before 9/11 (before anyone hits that tangent). You have to watch what you do, and do the best you can to enjoy life. Anything can happen, anywhere, from the burbs, to the country, to the city. It doesn't matter.
