Yeah, Anonymous, take that! No one wants to hear a bar band at 1 a.m. on a Saturday! That would be like going to a bar on a Friday night and hearing music at 1 a.m. -- can you imagine how awful that would be? Ugh! Bars are meant for quiet discussions and thoughtful repartee at 1 a.m., not your crass rock 'n' roll music that always draws the wrong element. Have you learned nothing from what your Elvis Presley did, getting us all excited with his hip swivels, which continued to manifest themselves even at 1:01 a.m., sometimes 1:15? Bars are meant to be quiet places where people can drink themselves to death as they contemplate the fact their spouses and kids hate them, not rowdy meeting places for you beatniks with your copies of "Howl" in tow! When will you duck-tailed jeans-wearing delinquents ever learn?

Plenty of venues and bands don't get noise complaints because they do things like install sound dampening, remind their patrons not to be super loud and obnoxious when exiting the premises, not booking complete shit bands that thrash around like methed-up ferrets, etc.

So, are you confessing that you voted trump? You probably had it coming, whatever it is.

@Cassie Mae -- wait a minute, you're thinking Trump voters are moving TO Portland? Interesting. I got the impression Anonymous meant it was the liberal California crowd moving here that wants to make the noise complaints. I guess Trump is the punishment our nation warrants for not properly supporting Sleater-Kinney, though. If that is what you meant. Come to think of it, however, the nation DID support "Portlandia," which caused everyone to move here, so it IS the fault of S-K, or at least Carrie, that a club stopped playing live music, in a way. It's all starting to make sense now ... Fred Armisen probably owns a high-rise or two ...
