It seems we have a plethora of the usual sentiments on this blog. This event was intended to highlight local music, and support the artists that are some of our neighbors. “YP’s, Downtowners, Hipsters”?…be serious. This city is far too stratified and niche oriented. Here we have an event attempting to bridge those gaps, and people are still focused on the same nonsense. I was actually at the event, and can saw that all of the venues were packed, WITH a line out of the door all night. It was great to see locals supporting the arts, and the Heights community providing an outlet for musicians. This city is packed with amazing talent, and we far too often lose that talent to other cities, because we don’t support the arts enough. Try showing love, instead of snubbing positive efforts.

there used to be the plaza and shortys and bash riprocks back in the day. the heights has always been a uncle woodys college dump where the college kids from defiance and tiffin hate the locals and the locals hate them. university area has always been run down and the heights is more run down than ever. in the wood is missed and five guys is a great addition but the area still struggles to be what it could be if you got rid of the slum lords and kept the obnoxious college kids on campus.

I believe Mt. Adams is for the YPs, and downtown is for everyone in between… Let’s get real. I’d chose Arnold’s over the yuppie Pavilion any day.

I don’t necessarily think Clifton Heights is an underrated part of town. For those of us who have already graduated, it tends to be a bit too young (aka obnoxious) for our taste. Don’t get me wrong, I still visit Murphy’s and Christie’s on occassion–but let’s be honest, that crowd IS the Cadillac Ranch crowd mixed in with a bunch of regulars and locals.

If I’m in the Clifton area, I much prefer the gaslight.

All that aside, the Clifton Heights area is competing with Northside (for the hipsters), Downtown (for the YPs), and Mt. Adams (for everyone in between).

The event sounds fun, it would have been nice, if they had publicized it more–but you are right, the scheduling is off. Most of us are still recovering from MPMF.
