Support Live Music! Something to do

The Big Dirty has announced that they will be closing Dec. 14. This comes just before Sam Bond's closes on Dec 18 (correction: end of December).

The reason these places are closing is simple: the audiences are not there. Eugene has a lot of amazing musicians and bands, but people don't go out to hear them.

Support local music by visiting local venues, while you still can.

Your privilege is showing. Know what also gets you into shows for free? Knowing someone. I got into Bassnectar at the WOW Hall for free because my friend let me in the back door. Told the volunteer he was the new shift to let him off, legend. Was a dope show, dopest ever at WOW Hall.

Just a joke because he has been exposed as a groomer and alleged sex trafficker

Was guessing that, unfamiliar with those allegations. He was still #1 DJ at that time.
