[Blacklabcollective] Very drunk people at black lab shows

[Lindsay Kasting]

maybe we should keep our safer spaces policy in mind when deciding to deal
with people that are being unsafe or aggressive in the space? i look
forward to this discussion as well. drunk or high or whatever, i think
bottomliners and volunteers and general showgoers need to feel as safe as
possible in the space, and we can't have people spending all their energy
babysitting wastoids when we're trying to put on a show (isn't that part of
why we end the shows so early?).
