Ian Mackaye of Fugazi lays down the funk on the DC Council when it comes to all-ages clubs. Listen to Mackaye, listen to what he has to say to the Council. Well said, Ian. It’s four minutes long, yes, but his points are darn clear: it didn’t matter what age the people at the club were, someone would’ve been hit by that bullet.
Banning all-ages clubs and events is a really dumb way of handling things in the wake of the situation that brought on the current legislation. It’s time to get the council to pay attention and work on problems that they CAN solve, not create ones that they can’t.

I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
