Gary H posted topic Boxing Day Deals - or Not

lpoutine,

Gary H has just posted a new topic entitled "Boxing Day Deals - or Not" in forum "Retail Establishments & Grocery Markets".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Those Boxing Day promotions are often pretty lame.

I subscribe to a rather niche online store that specializes in AV equipment and just have to laugh at their 10% off site-wide Boxing Week promotion - with SOME restrictions/exclusions. Take a look at their email promotion and then the exclusions page. :lol:

It reminds me of this classic clip from the movie The Jerk where Steve is describing what a contestant can win...

akimbo posted topic Any good examples of neighbourhood densification ?

lpoutine,

akimbo has just posted a new topic entitled "Any good examples of neighbourhood densification ?" in forum "City of Victoria".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking for examples of SFH area densification that aren't neighbourhood crushers. There are some good older developments in Fernwood. The large lot is about 18,000 sq ft. Could potentially hold 8 townhouses.

The Copper Owl, the upstairs live music venue/bar at Paul's Motor Inn will be under new ownership in the new year. Events/shows booked through January will go ahead, and then then it will shut down for a bit before the new owners relaunch it as whatever they have planned.

Tried to find out who is taking over, but current ownership told me they can't share that info at this time.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Subculture Club - 625 Hillside

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Subculture Club - 625 Hillside" in forum "Arts, Culture and Entertainment".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
never heard of it before but here it is:

https://subcultureclub.org/safe-and-sober/ (https://subcultureclub.org/safe-and-sober/)

Things generally run pretty smoothly at SubClub but when we do have issues 90% of the problems are caused by people who are drunk. This is a little ironic considering we are an ALL-AGES space that doesn't permit drugs or alcohol inside the venue. Unfortunately some people interpret this to simply mean they should get drunk before they come in. When people stay sober we have no problems. When we have events where people are intoxicated we've ended up with cans, cigarette butts, puke and piss in our parking lot THAT OUR VOLUNTEERS HAVE TO CLEAN UP. Worse than this is the aggressive, abusive behavior that audience members and volunteers have been subjected to at the hands of intoxicated people.
I care deeply for people struggling with anxiety, depression, and addiction and I understand why people use drugs and alcohol. It's deeply rooted in our culture and one of the most mainstream, bonding behaviors we have. When we're drunk or high it makes us care less about what other people think and feel – that's probably why we're drawn to it, but we want SubCulture Club to be all about caring MORE – about art, about people, and about community.
This isn't about disrespecting people who like to party. There's a time and a place for everything and I strongly believe in letting people live any way they want to. Every other space from bars, to basements, arenas, theaters, and outdoor festivals combine music and drinking. We want SubCulture Club to be a truly ALTERNATIVE space. One space where you don't have to worry about the pressures and behaviors associated with partying.
I hope people can understand that SubClub isn't a house and we're not throwing parties. It isn't a bar – we don't have paid staff and bouncers to deal with people who've had a few too many. This is a community arts space, one that is specifically open to underage people and people looking for a safe place. We respectfully ask that if you don't feel you can spend a couple of hours with us without imbibing then please attend shows at another venue and let this space exist for people seeking an alternative.
