Very cool. Congratulations to everyone that mobilized support for this.

I heard about this. I don’t know how these things work but you gotta figure this thing is going to be a toss up if we’re being objective. I would like to know what the economic impact Wax Trax brought to Chicago tho because that’s probably the kind of stuff they’re going to be looking at. The cultural impact could be viewed as a fad or too underground by these bureaucratic types.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this tho.
