CC Random thread

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Absolute tragedy in Switzerland.

Would they not have fire sprinklers?

Unpleasant yes.

Not the first similar circumstance, there are a long list of bar/club fire events in history....there were actually 2 other notable occurrences resulting in injuries and deaths in 2025 already.

What bars and nightclubs often have are severe overcrowding and low safety standards.

Combine that with dark, loud, panic & drunk and shit goes sideways quick.

Going to punk shows back in the 70s, 80s, a lot were in small clubs and illegal spaces. I learned early on to locate any exits.
Fire, cops, whatever... there was always a chance things could go sideways.

Yep...

....also not uncommon for serious fights to start at those gigs that turned into mini riots where having an exit strategy was the prime choice.

For example the Viking Hall on E Hastings.

The Buddah was no Heaven on Earth either.

Et cetera....

Exit strategy is always good but the crowd and panic factor is deciding. Too many people and a small exit is killing it.
Most punk locations where i've been weren't overcrowded.

I certainly feel the age gap between those of you that listen to punk rock (or at least used to listen to it) and me. I think it's all shit. :look: :look:

Punk had its day in the sun. I enjoyed it at the time but simply cannot listen to it now. The older I get the more I listen to music like John Prine. My old man ears can’t take punk anymore.

Drunken party goers probably thought it was part of the show.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

John Prine - excellent choice. Too bad he passed away a few years ago.
