#5 is the best news yet, quickly followed by #1
I liked the sandbags tho...made it feel like it was safer in case gunshots rang out.

nice.

Todd, did u just hear that sonic boom outside?

good deal. you guys should get a bigger drum riser too.

ummm yea ,what the fuck?

you shootin niggers again,mr.kok?

hahahahaha I wish.
I think it was the national guard practicin down the road.

sweet. those fucking barracades are bullshit.

i applaud the destruction of the fag wall, i hated that thing and it's lived too long... but i agree with HCN, the sandbags were a nice touch.

that wall blew. lets hope some ventilation system gets in there eventually.

and when you mic the bass drum, but some bass in the damn thing, countless times ive heard the bass drum sound like were were in the 80's, thats my request. but its good that wall is gunna ge gone, you should take it out back and burn it after.

hey todd do you guys need a painter....

I'll do a mural of CSDO on the back wall if you want.

u mean ull diarhea all over it and call it a day?

I have no idea what this wall is. somebody clue me in. Pictures too. I can't read.

the barrier in front of the stage.

since the last time youve been to the shelter, they have constructed a 3 1/2 or so foot wooden wall in front of the stage. imagine the metal barriers at the palladium only made of wood, and you have the amazingly lame wall at the bombshelter.

really? I guess I havn't been there in awhile. why on earth would they construct something like that?

To keep people off the talent's nuts.

tom should know the answer to why it's there.
andrew, the drunk. he would go on to stage for every single band and run around.

The wall is not down yet,no they dont need painters,the sound aint my problem(HAHA).Did I miss anything?

part of the reason why it was constructed was probably because of anthony walking on stage and grabbing the mic from pyaemia and shit. Yeah, I think they'd need it for the bigger shows because people will be pushed onto the stage every 3 seconds. I vote they get rid of the wooden wall, and get a moveable metal barricade for the larger shows so the people in the front have something to lean on / and so drunks stay off the stage.

they should get a nice removable metal railing.

"...and get a moveable metal barricade for the larger shows so the people in the front have something to lean on / and so drunks stay off the stage. "

Or, to keep the drunks ONstage!!

haha

Still say that plays needs a smoke eater and/or central air. Still would be the shit if the whole thing could some how move upstairs; it's fucking HUGE up there!

AH HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! I think you're right about that one!

and there was much rejoicing

That barrier coming down is awesome -- all that thing did was block sound from the amps -- and I know my amps sound better than they sound coming over that PA.

whats was the purpose of the sandbags?

So after a show you could not only have the stench of cigarettes oozing from every pore and piece of clothing, but be covered in sand, too!

honestly, the bombshelter was the first place i've ever been to that had sandbags indoors.

I hate that fucking barrier in front of the stage so much!

bommbshelter/ sandbags ? It was merely for the looks and I and a few others convinced him to get rid of them cause they are stupid looking

Oh yea,about the barricade, he may put moveable one up for the nationals and stuff,but wants to find one not to heavy ,then again not so light as so people won't be able to pick it up and wing it at some one ala ECW

Todd said:

thats why you get the ones with the metal grating that comes out about 4 or 5 feet onto the floor where the front row stands so people can't move it.

how bout they get read of the dead body smell, seriously i want to vomit from the smell of that place

anonymous said:

Shhhh.You'll give away our secret

Todd said:

HAHAHA, no but seriously, where are they? I thought there was a couple weak planks on the stage....
