Current mood:  aroused Category: Games
For some time now, Ohioan has made our preference for performing all-ages venues well known. Places where people are not turned away based on the number of years they've been arbitrarily eating food, sneezing, and doing the dishes; and where the music doesn't come secondary to the sale and pursuit of alcohol.
So, Ohioan will begin discriminating as well: extending a bias in support of all-ages venues.
Double-standard? Hypocritical? Maybe so...
If you'd like us to play your bar/whatever, you will have to pay us a substantial amount to do so. Not a passing of the hat or anything of that nature, but a monetary guarantee.
We know you have the money, you're selling all that beer while we play.
More importantly, this should shed some light on oft neglected curiosities.
Who decides the parameters for the enjoyment of communal music experience?
Why a seemingly random number such as 21?
And for Ohioan in particular:
Why be swayed from a stance by mere money?
Are we being bought, do our ethics have a price?
For now, these are good questions to be asking...
full disclosure: Members of Ohioan do drink alcohol on occasion and imbibe various other intoxicants (coffee, sugar, azurescens, fresh fruit, etc). This is not an anti-'drug' stance. Although we are against the misappropriated concept of 'drugs' and the imaginary division of things dreamed up by financially responsible political agendas and corporate benefactors, we are not so naive to blame it all on a single fermented liquid who didn't ask for any of this.
We are against discrimination in any form, especially that which denies people the right to experience music.
