But it is not.
I just couldn’t do it. I love the group, I’m sure all the people who were there loved it, but the venue was just too sketchy. I was wavering until we were headed home from the opera and took a back road into a very sketchy area and come to find out we were a block away from the venue where C!C!C! was scheduled. That sealed it. Worse than I had pictured.
And yes, I know, and I don’t like the person I am either. I would love to still be the person saying, “we were coming home from the opera and the deserted graffiti-tagged street with cars on blocks didn’t bother me at all,” but I am not.
I didn’t get the tickets refunded because I do really like the band, and I hadn’t heard it was sold out, so I thought at least they’d get the money.
I hope things went well so next time they can go to Old Rock House or some other city venue with lights and parking.
Signing off: Decidedly Not Cool Little Old Lady.

Aw, that is sad. But also if you are not traveling in Groups and you also are no longer of an age to believe yourself (and your wallet) invincible, different choices get made sometimes.
KC – I can’t imagine a group my age who would consent to being there. Then again, I would happily go to the Central West End at night with a group, even though I know of an entire group robbed at gunpoint in that area by one man with one gun.
Makes no logical sense. Probably because I’ve been there routinely since a high school field trip.
