These venues suck because they don't care about the comfort of their patrons or staff. The lack of air-conditioning and proper ventilation in these venues poses a danger and makes shows far less enjoyable than they should be. Also, some so-called promoters have the false idea that if it's 110 degrees in their venue, they can sell more beer. In other words, the lack of A/C may not just be because they're stupid un-caring idiots. It may be because they want to sell you more drinks - which is them ripping you off. Let's all pitch in and let these promoters know that they have the responsibility to provide a safe and comfortable place to see a show. And, if you ever thought of being a promoter yourself, and you see that your city is on the "Heat List", it may mean that there is an opening for music promotions in your city. Go on. You can do it! All it takes is common sense and work. Let Reverend Horton Heat provide the "real" heat - not the greedy promoters. And don't worry, we'll still sweat - and love it!
