a warm up gig before the tour.

Exactly mate!  The HW Athletics club? Man.... That joint used to be  the 
Fetish years before and then someone  ruined it with Paris Hilton  and Shtney 
Smears. Sorry to hear about your mate there. Security  takes their jobs or job a 
little tooo serious nowadays. Or even ay before  that... Fuckers!
 
Cheers,

I  guess I have become used to a different 'ilk'...
going to venues like the  HOB is like a return to the early 80s for me..
i have thrown events in  what  some would call the dodgiest parts of LA, 
without a wiff of  trouble...
but i understand what you mean...the hollywood athletics club  security broke 
a friends clavicle...98, i think..

This for L.A. folks and what not, but I just heard this last night.  But I do 
not think it will affect upcoming shows.

WeHo House Of Blues' Future In Trouble
WEST  HOLLYWOOD The West Hollywood City Council Monday discussed  the 
possibility of revoking or suspending the House of Blues' business  license because 
of a series of violent incidents and management's  failure to address them. 


>From September 2007 to September 2008,  events at the House of Blues have led 

to 44 arrests, including for  fights, drunken and disorderly behavior and 
grand theft, more than  doubling the arrests for the same period in 2006 to 2007, 
according to  Councilman John Heilman. 

There have been more than 100 sheriff's  radio dispatches in the past year to 
the club at 8430 Sunset Blvd.  

"Unfortunately, for the last several years, the House of Blues  has had a 
history of serious problems and an unwillingness to address  these problems," 
said Heilman, who introduced the motion to begin  proceedings to revoke or 
suspend the club's license. 

"After each  serious incident, there is a perfunctory apology and a promise 
to  reform, but the problems persist and have escalated." 

The club's  general manager spoke at Monday's council meeting, pointing out 
the  club's high revenues for the city and ability to draw some 300,000  
visitors each year. But he did not address the history of problems that  have 
occurred at the venue. 

Heilman's fellow council members  also expressed unhappiness at the meeting 
over the club's failure to fix  the growing problems, which have caused 
distractions and inconvenience  to residents and businesses nearby. 

On Sept. 4, more than 100  people were involved in fights both inside and 
outside the club.  Sheriff's deputies required assistance by officers from 
the Los  Angeles and Beverly Hills police departments to keep crowds under  
control. 

Authorities arrested several people that night on  outstanding warrants, 
battery and drunkenness, and one woman was  hospitalized. 

Helicopter units monitored the area from above  until 1 a.m. while a stretch 
of Sunset Boulevard remained closed for  several hours. 

Because of the closure, several nearby businesses  lost customers and were 
not able to to return vehicles to their  customers already at their 
establishments, Heilman said.
