I am wholly in support of all ages shows and venues. I would LOVE to see one executed well enough for long enough to actually work. I've always wanted one here, but I can't deny the track record. They don't last long.

Hopefully, this will be different.
There are 10 types of people in the world.

. . .and those who don't.

Big John wrote:maybe I mistook anderson's post. I really thought his reply was more or less saying "WHO GIVES A f**k" and my response "I DO" All ages shows bring unity and a feeling of community. Bar shows bring a sense of "I want to get messed up till this band actually sounds good." At all ages shows people come together with open minds to enjoy the music, hang out with friends and make new ones. I have absolutely no regrets from throwing the shows I did. When I have the opportunity to do so again, I will. I am tired of people automatically shutting the idea of an all ages venue down as soon as it comes up. How can you expect to get respect from the scene kids when all you are doing is waiting for a reason to shut things down. You get people together with different ideas, some things are going to happen. In my experiences I have seen a lot worse stuff go down at bar shows. The only reason people don't cry about it is because... it's ok they were just drunk, so we can forget about it tomorrow. But something happens at an all ages show let's bring it up every time someone is trying to get things started again. So, I beg EVERYONE... PLEASE Drop the negativity. THIS SITE IS HERE TO PROMOTE FORT WAYNE'S MUSIC SCENE not bring up every bad thing about it.

All ages venues are hard to maintain, and sometimes the kids act like tiny little hooligans. But that is what kids are supposed to do.

You posted the the place was opening up again.

Ando acknowledged that you have been involved in all ages shows for a while.

He relayed his experience and frustration with them.

He asked why you are still giving this a shot after the experiences he (and others) have endured.

You were a douchebag to him.

Was there something I missed?
What he said.

And to anyone who thought I was being negative, I was in NO way being negative... if you thought I was... whatever.

Thanks for staying on the topic...


The Back door originated back when the Modern Primitive tattoo and piercing shop was still open on Broadway (near Munchies).

They had a room in the back of the shop that opened up to a small fenced in area. They started doing shows there. Pretty much as simple as that. Then the shop eventually shut down, (Became Garfields for a while).

Now they are trying to get shows going there again.
