Welfare Records closes show space.[views:11583][posts:42]____________________________________ [Jun 2,2008 12:55pm - RichHorror ""] "Thank you to everyone that has helped out over the past year and to all the bands that have played here. We had fun but unfortunately the Haverhill Police don't like us having shows and were looking for every opportunity to give us a hard time. Luckily for them, there are kids who don't understand the concept of ALL AGES NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED! Anyway, we are losing our license and will not be able to have shows anymore. The record store and studio are still open!! Thank you to all of the people who loved and respected our place. Mike & Sabrina" |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 2,2008 5:04pm - xanonymousx ""] this sucks! but maybe, just maybe they shouldn't have let like 200+ kids in that place at a time. and people can't just go to a bar right down the street on the other side of that bridge..... |
| _________________________________ [Jun 2,2008 7:49pm - someone ""] Welfare was a profit pit for the people that ran it. They packed them in like sardines just to make the dollar. Am i surprised? no. Karma kills. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 2,2008 8:39pm - Czarnobóg ""] Bullshit. I know most of the crew that runs Welfare. They're hardly making a killing over there. Actually, last I heard they weren't even breaking even. But whatever, keep talking shit anonymously. |

Am i surprised? no. Karma kills. eh they probably had a few really profitable shows but most of the shows there probably make little to no money haha like the one i booked. |

They packed them in like sardines just to make the dollar. Am i surprised? no. Karma kills. while like i stated before they did have a lot of kids in there at once when they had their big shows... it was a fire hazard, but i'm sure they were not in it for the money. this was probably one of the reasons haverhill didn't want them to run shows, but the booze was the reason that they got shut down. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2008 8:55am - xanonymousx ""] actuall,y it wasn't the booze that got them shut down. someone did the ultimate no-no at a merrimack valley hardcore show and ummmm how do i say this? ate a pizza. :shocked: |

| _______________________________ [Jun 3,2008 1:14pm - tylor ""] this shop has the coolest collection of old movie and music posters, and old beer cans ive ever seen |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 3,2008 3:25pm - anonymous ""] The venue was shut down because some people had to ruin it for the majority. Stop blaming the police for doing their jobs! Even the owners acknowledge it was due to, and I quote, "kids who don't understand the concept of ALL AGES NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED". Suck it up and hold those people accountable for their actions to blame and stop taking the convenient (and typical) route of blaming "the cops" for spoiling your fun. You can dye your hair ten shades of parrot colors, wear as many studs as you want and declare yourselves anarchists all you want, but we don't live in an anarchist society. GROW UP! It was the immature and irresponsible behavior of a few who screwed it up for the majority. End of story. Put blame where it belongs, folks. And if you want to do something constructive, start a petition to help them re-open. Show "the Man" that most of you are responsible and went there to enjoy the music. But stop whining about it. |

| ________________________________ [Jun 3,2008 5:06pm - paul 2 ""] "THE MAN" shouldnt stop a show for kids drinking in the parking lot. I drink in every parking lot AND IT CERTAINLY IS NOT COORS LIGHT MY FRIEND!!. IF you want to drink at a show this is how to do it. a) buy a bottle of cheap rum,vodka, whiskey ETC... b) Buy a bottle of soda, or the beverage of youre choice. I wouldnt suggest red drink, the cops might think its wine. c) Poor out correct amount of beverage ( I enjoy the half half deal, but some might like less booze.). TIP! poor it out the window of youre car or in a random parking lot. BUT this needs to be done on the way to the show. d) Mix by putting the cap on tight and turning the bottle upside down. e) e stands for ENJOY YOURE BEVERAGE! You can purchase my book from the proteus myspace. Its called "drinking leads to real problems in youre life" |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 3,2008 6:08pm - xanonymousx ""] or you could just hang out a the many bars down the street.... and the drinking at the shows wouldn't be a problem. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 3,2008 6:16pm - paul 2 ""] no buy my book |

| ___________________________________ [Jun 3,2008 8:58pm - RichHorror ""] When we played at Welfare we drank inside while playing so GFY |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 4,2008 5:30am - rightbackatcha ""] If you drink in every parking lot then you should consider an AA meeting, my friend. Haverhill has lots of church basements with free coffee... |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 4,2008 12:58pm - anonomous ""] Too bad you'll be enjoying your beverage to the sound of your own voice or from the nearest car radio (it might not be your choice of music though...I guess that's the price you pay when you're righteous anacharists and you don't think you have to follow anyone else's rules, right?). So go ahead and throw back those brews and enjoy them! The few who chose for the rest of you should be sainted and I'm the jerk pointing out the obvious regarding who is to actually blame. |
