Thank you...You just made my point....ANY place that has to "check you for drugs and weapons and shit when you go in and are policed" is no place for my child or ME to be:)

Just my opinion...Everyone's entitled to their own :cool:

LOL arent you going to clubs every night or so you keep telling us? i bet those places are far worse without police and/or bouncers....you wouldnt take her to the places you go? Are they safe enough for you but not for her?

We actually DO have bouncers...We dance with them...lol...And there are MANY places that I can go, that a child CANNOT...I'm an adult

Nothing bad EVER happens at our clubs...We're just cool people like that...Everyone pretty much knows everyone else...And, I don't go EVERY night...Actually, I've cut down to just Monday night and Thursday night...I had to take a break *whew* :D

I gotta agree with that, I've done the "harder" drugs at small clubs with local bands, but only seen the occasional joint at the big shows.

Exactly, shes going on heresay and has no basis of comparason....but what do we know?

Heresay?...NEWS is seldom considered 'heresay'...Remember a certain WHO concert?...Among others...I will admit that the MAJOR incidents may be few and far between...BUT...I figure that if there is one chance in a million of something bad happening to my kids, that's a chance that I'm not willing to take :)

You mean the one where the guitarist swung his guitar above his head by the guitar chord which then promptly let go and the guitar flew into the audiance? That incident?

LMAO...You can't be serious...You're just playing with me right?


THIS incident...

The Who began touring later in 1979, but the tour's momentum was crushed when 11 attendees at the group's December 3, 1979 concert at Cincinnati's Riverfront Coliseum were trampled to death in a rush for choice festival seating. The band wasn't informed of the incident until after the concert was finished, and the tragedy deflated whatever goodwill they had.


Following the Cincinnati concert, the Who slowly fell apart. Townshend became addicted to cocaine, heroin, tranquilizers and alcohol, suffering a near-fatal overdose in 1981.


There are MANY more examples of this type of incident...

Dec. 19, 1987, Nashville, Tenn.: Two teens killed in the crush of a crowd departing from a Public Enemy concert.

Jan. 18, 1991, Salt Lake City: Three teenagers killed when the crowd at an AC-DC concert rushed the stage.

Dec. 28, 1991, New York: Eight suffocated in pileup of people trying to get into City College of New York gymnasium for charity basketball game played by rappers.

July 1, 2000, Copenhagen, Denmark: Eight killed in crush of fans trying to get closer to Pearl Jam at an outdoor concert.

And the list goes on...


Along with multiple reports of fights, stabbings, rapes, etcetera...

It just isn't somewhere that I want my kids to be...That's pretty much all there is to it...So, can we end this now?:)
