Victimized: Churchill's Pub and the angry bum

Far be it for me to complain about a place I do truly genuinely like but on Saturday I had some unfortunate shit happen to me outside of Churchill's. I went to attend the laptop battle pretty excited about seeing what seems to be a new form of music evolution. After finding a parking spot I began walking to the car when the prototypical bum begins asking for money. I informed him I only had $20's so I would catch him on the way out if he was still around. As I walked away I heard him mutter some explicatives but didn't bother trying to listen.

I have to admit I wasn't terribly impressed with the battle itself. While there were some interesting characters performing I was let down by the fact that some people actually had made pre-recorded MP3's and just hit play on their media player and danced around likg fucktards. The videos I saw online were more impressive with people using synths and ableton live. To add insult to injury as we were leaving the venue we were stopped and told by someone we had a flat tire. Brand new car, brand new tires. The angry bum from the start of the night outside of Churchills shanked my tire. So I'm calling the owners out. If your gonna have bums wandering around your venue then at the very least hire someone to walk around and watch for shady shit. Don't leave your patrons hagning to fend for themselves.

i always thought that shadiness was part of the charm of going to a churchill's event?
Amen x1000. Laptop battle fail, bum ethics fail.
pop lock and drop it
I party in downtown 24x7 so Im well aware of shadiness, and yes to a certain extent it adds to Churchills charm. however as a venue, with parking you have to afford some kind of assurance that your shit isnt gonna be vandalized just cause u didnt give a bum $1.

sorry about your car b.a.c., it's a bummer getting vandalized.
BUT
it's a little unfair to point the finger of blame at churchills when
1- the parking lot (with the double deckers) next door and next to sweat are owned by the very same owner of churchills who could very well put a $5 parking sign up and up it to $7 on busier nights, forcing people who don't have the cash to park further away from the venue and into harms way. he's even had offers in the millions for the lot next door but has refused them to keep parking for his customers.
2 - there are guys who hang out in the parking lot and watch the cars - they're not bad people. some of them have other odd jobs they do. they just hang out there at night for a couple of extra dollars. i think they do their best to control the crazies that would do things like slash tires.
3 - aint no place safe no more. i had my car window bashed in and shit stolen in a bright as day parking lot on 14th with cops strolling around, before midnight even? park on the beach and get your shit towed or pay veritable highway robbery prices for safe parking. you're not even safe in kendall anymore, with some stalker rapist on the loose the other day.

::sigh:: it's a sad, sad world.
kisskiss bangbang.
I'd blame it more on the broken glass and other random sharp shit populating that lot.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
The slash was on the side of the tire which resulted in having to buy an brand new tire......Oh well, its just a tire but it was just incredibly frustrating non the less.

Right, above the grass line and near the rim. Also the exact size of a knife (about 1.5"). And the AngelBum said he saw the slashing occur. ugh

Any chance you have an Obama sticker on your car? happened to me in little havana, only I got 3 tires slashed 'cauase of the Obama bumperstiacker. Life in the city...
i told a guy around the corner from vagabond that it was public parking and to buzz off. he told me "then your car is public property." came back and he'd bent my door open, busted in and dropped the seat back just to show me what he could do. i wished he'd just stolen it and drove it off a bridge so i could get an insurance check.
I generally don't have any problems with the bums but when they think they can bully us into paying them "protection" fees is when shit really gets out of hand. Case in point your situation. But in the current state what can be done? Valet seems to be the only answer if you wan to avoid parking on the street. Then again valet drivers can be pretty crappy as well and your bound to get nicks on your nice paint job.
