ALL LIVE AWS EVENTS ARE CANCELLED!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This year has just started out very,very bad! On top of a very bad 2008 with the wrost economy in many years, After struggling to pay the rent and bills to keep our doors open for you the AWS fans. Well i was just handed paper work today from the INDUSTRY SHERIFF STATION stating that we are no longer going to be allowed to have our live events of any kind.
What has happend is that a flyer made by METAL HORDE PRODUCTIONS for a show in march was promoting the band M.D.C. that stands for MILLIONS OF DEAD COPS.The flyer was indeed over the top and not discrete at all! Someone in the department saw this flyer and reported it to the INDUSTRY SHERIFF STATION. They had went ahead and filed so much paper work on the AWS location, and have come up with so many ENTERTAINMENT licenses that there is no way that i can aford them.
Instead of just letting us cancell that show, they are not going to let us run anymore at all, if we try...they will shut it down and fine me.
Now without being able to do any live events and with the economy the way it is, i will not be able to aford the rent and bills to keep the AWS store open for much longer at all. It was my dream to make it to 10 full years in july.
but at this time i'm lucky to be here next month!!!
I'm sad, i'm sorry. i have done my best and there's nothing more that i can do! I wish the best to everyone and the socal scene,..but it's time for me to move aside and walk away from this business.
I just don't know what to say.
