I hate to say it, but everytime us Tacoma folk try to throw an event, the shit goes haywire. Sure, fights are entertaining, but not when our local scene is trying to flourish. It's always some muhfuckas liquor'd up, funkin.. or out-of-towner-ass muhfuckas tryin to start some shit. I been to two events at the Area 151 in the past week and half.. been 2 big brawls.. I was out in Portland a month before wit Meezalini's people and he threw a show and had a similar problem, but someone got murdered.. he hopped onstage and spoke his mind.. and I felt dude because it's the same here. Been to a few Seattle events too and some shit popped off. I'm sure it's like this anywhere else (some worse or not), but coming from our region, this type of shit just fucks it up for our chances to get out of here. Promoters are getting scared.. and they're cutting off venues for potential events that would pop off. It ain't no love in the heart of the city.. and I don't think shit'll ever change.
