Reply to comment by notnotpegbundy in Odyssey’s Liquor License by Dbol504

Yes, I've done underground raves many years ago including the ones that Springfield used to have in the warehouses under the Grant Street bridge near downtown as a teenager in the 2000s and the few that used to happen at Remington's downtown (RIP awesome venue). I do a few big festivals every year too. So getting Odyssey sold out on a Sunday night is as close as we are getting to a rave in Springfield these days.

I talked to the headliner DJ's tour manager last night and he was impressed we could sell out the venue. He was doubtful it would be busy and would keep us down to recommend to his counterparts for touring. Hopefully this can start to get us on the map for more acts to come through. Liquid Stranger is there in 3 weeks which is another huge get.

I was in no way trying to be bitchy with that comment if that’s how it came across. I’m sure we have crossed paths, though I prefer to remain anonymous for many reasons.

It’ll never NOT be funny to hear anything in Springfield called a rave, let alone one in a regular bar setting, and I will die on that hill.

I get it completely about the raves in Springfield. I’ll take what I can get without having to drive to KC or St. Louis and pretend it’s a rave.

If I was still in the scene, I’d do the same, homie. I’d do the same.
