I believe the Temple of the Black Light makes an intriguing case for Luciferic-gnosticism. Not viewing Satan/Lucifer as an archetype or even an anthropomorphic entity. Rather, a universal force or current (a consciousness?) that lingers throughout the cosmos, when cosmos spawned from the nothingness of chaos. Their teachings are based off of numerous esoteric left hand traditions and ancient Sumerian chaos-gnosticism. Indeed. |

Fans have been spoiled to the point where they don't bother playing shows anymore. What happened to the good old days when there was one show everymonth or so and you went wether it was crappy or not? |

| ______________________________ [Sep 4,2008 7:39pm - aril ""] don't worry. nothing will be overdone. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 9,2008 9:53am - aril ""] rob, what's your number so we can meet up sometime and discuss it? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 4:50pm - arilliusbm ""] Bump for joint venture with alx casket |
| ____________________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 4:52pm - RustyPS should be working ""] Owning a music venue has been a dream of mine for years. I will probably never have the money to do it though. |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 5:01pm - josh_hates_you ""] I have 2 large pa systems that are just collecting dust that I'd like to put somewhere. You should have hit me up a year ago when I had 10k in expendable cash. I spent about 8k drinking in the last year which could have been put to better use..... |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 5:05pm - arilliusbm ""] wish I knew that a year ago :/ |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 5:08pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] bump for lol'ing at the concept of a decent venue making any money ever when you're not the mob, at least |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 5:29pm - arilliusbm ""] maybe I am. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 5:33pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i want in. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 5:41pm - Alx_Casket ""] Just read through this thread. Since this thread was made,Duffs moved locations and went downhill, as far as its feel. But the fact remains that every metal bar in the world I've been to is just that- a bar, not a venue. Let the casinos be built and let the economy fall further down the toilet before putting money or labor into this idea.when the time is right, which will happen in a few years, buy a church whose congregation can't support its existence any longer and you will have the perfect setup for a bar in the secondary rooms and a stage in the main hall.security,hvac, and ramp-up considerations cater to this idea. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 5:47pm - Alx_Casket ""] Also, metal karaoke night. Some of you guys know what's up. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 5:51pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i think the old Bickfords in Auburn would be a great place for a club. Surrounded by highways, plenty of parking (with a cheap hotel next to it for touring bands and peeps) and the area around it is pretty barren right now due to the shit economy. also i know a bunch of the cops since its my hometown. |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 21,2011 8:00pm - Alx_Casket ""] The biggest hurdle is political/law enforcement climate. Liquor license, zoning, permits, etc would all be a result of the micro and macro situations of each. Economy needs to tank more before I would get involved in a "legit" metal bar/club in the Boston area. The Czech area is a different story... |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 24,2011 1:35pm - Alx_Casket ""] If anyone here has business experience and is serious and PRACTICAL about the idea of operating a metal-themed bar, get in touch. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 24,2011 1:40pm - arilliusbm ""] Already ditched. |

| ________________________________________ [Oct 24,2011 9:23pm - grandmotherweb ""] i totally support this plan. if you need someone to cook your books -- i mean, manage your finances in a perfectly legitimate manner -- i'm a dab hand with excel. just as long as i don't have to set foot outside of boston. |
