Bands on the Run
It sucks being out a place to practice but really, why the hell would you keep ANYTHING of value in that slum? Seriously, there is no security and it's pretty amazing they have not found a body in there. I used to go there when it was run by Pete Manning (who originally established the place) and it was very nice- the best we had around 1989 when it opened.— February 11, 2009 6:01 p.m.
Tweakers Took My Speakers
This is just sad. If ANYONE, after reading this story spends ONE THIN DIME with this company they are fools. I used to rehearse at this place back in the 1990's when the Manning brothers ran it. Believe me, it was pristine. Pete and Johnny kept it spotless. I was shocked at how downhill it had gone in just a few years. If you keep your stuff there, expect the worst. And this story just green-lighted the fact that this location is nonsecure, and is ripe for the picking by those who would seek to rip off musicians. And SDPD? That's a joke unto itself! SDPD is OK with the theft of musical instruments, because in their eyes that equates to one less noise complaint they have to field. One less barfight they have to break up. They don't care. A well-known drummer here in town had gotten his drumset stolen, filed a report, and waited. 3 months later he found his drums for sale on Craigslist, called SDPD and they flat-out refused to help him. What did he do? He bought his gear back from the thieves. The only real solution is to lie in wait for the thieves, and work them over with an ax handle. Of course, he law would penalize YOU for protecting your gear. Bottom line? Don't rent from this company.— January 30, 2009 1:26 p.m.
