Save Green Room/Main Hall!!!


An asshole moved in right behind the green room/mainhall building just a few weeks ago, and has been complaining to the police and the city about the noise ever since... if you go to green room now, you'll notice that they had to install a new fire exit at the back to reduce the noise, which in itself isn't bad and was actually needed for a long time... but the guy has kept complaining about the noise!
Now, noise complaints are not to be taken lightly and everyone should be able to feel comfortable at home and not having to worry about whether or not they'll be able to sleep, but i remember walking in the alleyway behind green room quite a few times BEFORE they installed this new fire exit and i can't really say that the noise was an issue. it's also worth mentioning that the place has been open for 3 years and never had any significant noise-related problems...
I haven't witnessed this personally, but i've also been told by a very reliable source that the guy has been seen in his backyard trying to hear the noise last weekend.
In any case, this guy has made it his personnal cruisade to put green room/main hall out of commission and has somewhat succeeded, because both venues have had to cancel all their live shows until friday!!! at which point apparently, they'll try to settle something or whatever, i don't know the details.
So, if this thing isn't resolved soon, i've heard that there may be some actions that may be taken to save these venues... we're talking about benefit concerts, petitions, etc.
i just thought i'd give you guys a head's up cause i think it's a place worth saving and assholes like these may very well like to brag about their hot shot condos but they need to understand that the reason why they paid so much about it is in part because it's in an exciting neighborhood and if they wanted to put the places that have shaped this neighborhood out of business, they could have bought an exciting loft in boucherville...

I've been behind green room many a times, and you can't hear shit.

I hate idiots like that, moving in next to a bar, THEN complaining about the noise! Hey DOUCHEBAG! YOU MOVED NEXT TO A BAR! You want quiet, don't move next to a bar.

Its like moving next to me and complaining about the stink.
