you mean someone booked a punk show and there was loud talking, beer drinking and people carrying on? in 40 years of punk i've never heard of such a thing!

peoples, B.B. is a business (a business in an area that's prime real estate) run by people who never intended it to be a venue for live music. like most businesses that start allowing shows, they clearly didn't know anything about shows or what to expect. maybe they were being nice, but more than likely they were hoping it would bring more people to their space so they could make money. shows booked at new/failing businesses are always short lived. if they don't freak out about the noise, crowds, hassle, etc. right off the bat, they will eventually. or if they can put up with all the shit that goes with putting on shows, they will start implementing some bullshit to make a buck, upping prices and taking a cut of the door, charging rent to people trying to book there, etc. it happens pretty much every time this sort of arrangement is made so why is everyone surprised?

quit pointing fingers and blaming people, it was going to happen no matter what. the neighbors were going to complain eventually (really, "loud talking" was the final straw?), or the owners were going to get fed up with the trash/wear & tear to property/power bill/scheduling/hassles with the law or neighbors, or the city/police were going to come down on it because they don't want kids hanging out in front of prime real estate. it's NOT A VENUE, and it's not run by people who give a shit about any music scene, its run by adults who were hoping it would get their business more traffic/press/attention so they can make some money.
