I hate not having a consistant venue. Everytime I go out now I can't just say Gino. I have to say where I'm going, where that is, and how long I'll be and how the hell I'm getting all the way there and back. *sigh* I miss the Gino.

The Gino Sucked!!!!!! Big time!!! The place was a dump. Granted what it did for bands was great, but Windsor needs a real all age venue.
A place where kids of all ages can just go and hang out all day long. A place where bands can just jump on stage and strut there stuff whenever the stage is empty and special shows are planned every weekend. A place where the younger bands can meet the older bands and maybe get some connections going.
All I know is that Gino sucked, but it was all we had and it was great. Someone needs to step up, someone with the big bucks and get some kind of venue like that going.

Yeah K of C does do shows, but its $500 upfront, its not like Gino where you could just pay if after you made the money, not too many bands can afford that especially after having to rent any equipment like the P.A.'s and what not and just there spending on everyday equipment.

man fuck that shit....dont say the gino sucked...the best shows I ever saw were at the gino
-RUF matt's last show -RUF final show -Majority D's last show -Any old SWN show
People took the gino for granted. It was a common place that everyone new, but some people screwed it up for everyone....just like alot of other venues. People need to stop trashing places where shows are at and actually go and see some fuckin music

No my friend you have it mistakin the gino did suck as far as scenerio goes, and cost for whoever booked it, although its hard to find any other hall cheaper then that.
I know its supposed to be about the music and not the scenerio, but what Windsor needs is an all age venue, with a great P.A. system and enough speakers to fill the room with a great sound, a real stage so you can distinguish the band from the crowd lol, drum mics and speaker mics for the amps depending on the size of this venue and just how loud you want your music to be, and of course vocal mics.
What we need is a venue for the bands, by the bands that anyone of any age can go to. There needs to be a meeting with every band in Windsor, and some donation shows to bring this venue together. This could be pulled off with enough planning, if enough people cared. It would have to be a profitless organization and all profit goes towards making the venue better, and your band can play there no more then once a month, and a few people each month or two are elected to watch the venue, and if anything goes missing they are resonsible because they are the only ones who will have the keys. Of course the shows will always have the bigger bands in Windsor headlining it and I think there should never be a show where its all the biggest bands in Windsor, so it gives the little guys a chance to be heard by everyone.
Anyways these are just ideas, and I think the venue for the bands by the bands is a great idea, tell me what you think.

well, im sorry i like going to punk shows where the crowd and the ban are on the same level and the crod can just go up and sing if they so choose.
The price at the gino wouldn't have cost so much if stupid drunk kids didnt fuck everything up. People need to go to shows to see music, not to hang out outside to drink and smoke pot and do E.
The reason shows are sucking isnt because of the venue its because of everyone just walking outside and sitting there the entire night after paying $5 to get in.
The gino was amazing, but thats dead. Let's hope the Sonik can open things up for this scene

neybe you didn`t read what other ppl have said, and they brought up alot of good points, like: parents not letting them go cuz the bar upstairs its downtown and its harder to get to show run late, so ppl leave b4 it ends and so on.....

See what I mean by people ruining good ideas for everyone in this scene and trying to sabatage them, maybe instead of being a fu<k a$$ try and help out the scene when you see someones trying to do some good here, even if you don't like the stage thing it was all ideas and thats why there would be a meeting with everyone who wants in for fu<k sakes.
