But here is a question for Bicorn. Let's say that your a person like Ian Mackaye who chooses not to drink at shows. How would you feel if you went to a show to see a band you really liked at a club, but for a lot of the show a bunch of obnoxious drunks constantly bump into you, never shut up and won't go away?
Not everyone likes to be in the presence of people who smoke and drink. When he puts on shows, Mackaye wants EVERYONE to have a good time.

If I were THAT person, I'd fuckin' LOVE Fugazi shows.
But I'm not. The "Drunk Guy" is a fixture of music that will never go away. He'll just drink outside if he has to. Get used to it.
I'm not advocating getting totally fucked up and ruining things for somebody else, but jeezus, sometimes all I want when I'm at a packed and sweaty show is a giant ice cold bottle of beer.
SO: I guess my point is, if you've got a band that doesn't want to play to a crowd of drinking smokers, don't book yourself in venues that allow smoking and serve alchohol.
Makes sense, right?
