The Bombshelter sucks ass.[views:12890][posts:79]____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:05am - ltdec-1000 ""] Just went to the agnostic front/Full Blown Chaos/ Champion/outbreak show. Some idiot came charging across the pit, and elbowed my fucking face now part of my eyebrow is the size of a marble, and its split open. I figured, wtf, and kept watching the show, some girl jumped on my back, and i was sick of it, so i shook my shoulders to try and get her off, and she full-out punched me in the back of the head. Also, as i was leaving, some guy asked me what happened to my bleeding face, and after i told him, he was like. "Faggot" So naturally im like, uhhh.... me? "Yeah you, fucking faggot." On top of that, the bombshelter was about 1/8 full. Looks like firing todd has killed business. And half the "crowd" got kicked out for fighting. The Bombshelter can suck my balls. |

| _________________________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:11am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] more or less I've been in a hole in the ground. tell me the story! I am shocked by this! |
| __________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:11am - powerkok ""] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh man. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:12am - succubus ""] there are other posts about todd...but yeah that place sucks...oh and the rev's on his way home |

He was accused of taking door $ which is total bullshit (imo) Todd said he didnt, and Ive known him for years, way before any of my bands played at his clubs, so I trust that he didnt. Anderson was fired too. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:13am - KeithMutiny ""] i didnt know todd got fired either |
| __________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:15am - powerkok ""] This Sat is our last show at the Shelter as well. Fuck them. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:16am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] in searching the threads for this I found out ANNE is leaving?!?!? yeesh. anyway, yeah that's fucked. Todd is a nice guy. Door money? What fucking door money? There's never been any fucking door money at this place. All I did was lose a jacket there, break my amp, and get paid $5 for our troubles over the span of...umm...like 4 shows there. That sucks, Todd is a good dude, his heart always seemed in the right place and he was pretty fair with all the bands. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:17am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] though we had some fun times there, and saw some great bands, overall I think that place has more cons than pros. All the bands we've played with there were a lot of fun, and people's support was great. But honestly, without Todd I dunnow...he made the administration tolerable. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:18am - powerkok ""] I estimate that place will be no more by the end of 2005. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:22am - ltdec-1000 ""] Oh, and i wouldve hit back, but i dont think it was intentional. but the kid outside callin me a faggot needed to get run over... I thought i saw the rev there... I was sportin my rttp hoodie, and i didnt even get a hello......? :( |

I was sportin my rttp hoodie, and i didnt even get a hello......? :( when i spoke to him before i told him about yer post and he said "i thought i saw him" he wasn't 100% sure he said he didn't see you get bloody either |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:25am - ltdec-1000 ""] Another problem with the bombshelter everyones been bitchin about. $15 at the door.... I had to pay $18 to see this fuckin show.... FUCK! He didnt see me get bloddy because as soon as i got hit, i booked it to the bathroom to check myself out, and after that, i hung in the back. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:26am - KeithMutiny ""] if i wasnt bleeding when i left an agnostic front show, id ask for my money back. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:27am - powerkok ""] ltdec-1000 said: the kid outside callin me a faggot needed to get run over... Just a guess....He was fat, bald, drunk and surrounded by at least 3 of his friends? |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:28am - ltdec-1000 ""] You got the friend part right, but he wasnt fat. Probably drunk though. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:29am - succubus ""] $18? serge is screwing himself...and making some bad decisions |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:30am - ltdec-1000 ""] ask the rev how *jam packed* it was. The place was deserted. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:37am - powerkok ""] Im sure thats because of his 0% promotion of any shows there. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:38am - ltdec-1000 ""] The bands were pissed off, because there was hardly anyone there, youd think with a decent lineup like that, people would come out. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:41am - KeithMutiny ""] sounds like more of a fashion show too me. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:41am - thedeparted ""] heh that place is never packed. im sure it gets a lil better turn out with nationals on the bills, but ive never had good experiences there either. drive all the way up from RI, to not get paid, and play at 1am for like 10 kids after the local bands played. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:41am - powerkok ""] Ya, I agree....I wouldnt, cuz its not my thing, but, you are right. Its because no one hears about it till after it happens. As the same with EVERY other BS show. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:43am - ltdec-1000 ""] The first ime i went to it was pretty full. Hed pe, Gizmachi, and disorder by design. That show had a really good turnout. |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:00am - the_reverend ""] it's hit or miss there a lot of times. AF was pissed about something to do with a standard part of their contract... Champion was just pissed about what, I don't know |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:02am - ltdec-1000 ""] What about AF's Contract? |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:04am - the_reverend ""] I dn't know... roger was just telling chris muscle city "it;s a standard part of all contracts blah blah just so you know." and chris was all like "I've done about 3000 shows and I've never heard of it" |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:06am - ltdec-1000 ""] Do they even know how to run a club? And could there be more fights at that show? Seriously. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:20am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Fuck the BS. |

| ___________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:35am - RichHorror ""] When I get backstage... If I don't see a bowl of brown M&M's and a bucket of distilled goat load, I don't go on. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:59am - dwellingsickness ""] I drove by, the parking lot did seem kinda empty for a Agnostic Front show.haha --Todd And yes ,Serge fired myself and Anderson ,within a week of each other for supposedly stealing cash from the door. I think most of the story is in the thread about the june 4th show there.:middlefinger: |
| _______________________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 8:48am - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] has no one burnt this place to the ground yet. |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 10:38am - RustedAngel ""] well, maybe an hour for each of us and for those shows we all took seperate cars. Either way, the distance is beside the point. Even gas money would have made us happy. oh yeah and the pizza there sucks cock. |

I mean, that place looses a lot of $$ and he works at the walmart distribution center to support it. I think that he's just taking some bad advice... especially lately. I have no doubt his heart is in the right place. Serge is very bullheaded, though...he doesn't listen to advice too well and he is too quick to make decisive judgements. I think what was good about Todd is he seemed the opposite...like he was willing to work for things he wanted head on, and also question them along the way to make them pallatable to everyone involved. If I were Serge, I'd at least consider the state of my affairs and start taking input from people...maybe get some advisors I trust and some way of receiving more fair input. Also, to be frank, I have NEVER understood the not advertising thing....advertising is 99% of how a club get people in...the other 1% being the line-ups, the specials, etc. If people don't know you exist, or don't knwo what's going on, how the fuck are they going to go to your club? It's not the public's fault, it's the clubs fault. You can't expect the masses to just assume your club exists and that you're having a show they want to go to. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 12:51pm - ltdec-1000 ""] Does the bombshelter have some sort of advertising phobia? |
| _________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:01pm - powerkok ""] Ya, its called shelling out cash for anything other than coke. |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 1:44pm - Distrust-Kevin ""] OK, The Bombshelter has been fun every time I've played or attended a show there in the past, But the 3 major shows I saw there this year (MADBALL, CRYPTOPSY, and AGNOSTIC FRONT) were all poorly attended. Either it's advertising problems, or maybe people just don't give a shit enough to come out anymore. When I saw Madball there back in '03 the place was PACKED, i mean for real packed. Like there was practically no room to move. |

In my one and ONLY defense of the guy, He is not a coke head, he is more straight edge than 99% of the hardcore kids...No drugs,No alcohol and he only smokes cigars occasionally. |
| _________________________________ [Jun 3,2005 2:59pm - powerkok ""] wow...no shit? Well I apoligize then. I know I wouldnt wanna be called a coconut if I wasnt. But if hes not spending the $$ on that, what the hell is he spending it on? |

Sucks to get hit but complaining about it on a message board doesnt do no good. The bombshelther over charges for shows and its in the worst location, behind the coke factory. No one is gonna show up to that also because if you dance or mosh or whatever you always get kicked out it seems. When my band played there a while back I didnt mind it, but the turnout was fucking sad. |

Job satisfaction must be at an all time low at that place. Granted, stealing is wrong, but I feel like a good manager would question why his employs feel the need to steal in the first place. Todd isn't greedy and there's not much monye to steal anyway...I think the problem lies deeper. I don't think it's a problem with the employee, I think it's a job that has so few perks that eventually anyone would start to go corrupt. I mean let's not pretend the world is black and white here. oh and also making fun of people for being handicap just makes YOU look like a fucking idiot, not Todd. You think people don't notice that you're making fun of a person with a disability? You think you're just invisible while you say cruel shit? Get a life. |
