I just thought it was funny how this story was breaking around the same time as that Chaoswave/customs thread. The Man sure is out to get the musicians these days!

I have seen some people elsewhere saying that the law could actually be a good thing for the suburbs, because bands would go play at suburban venues more often instead of going deep in the city. Surprised no one here brought that up...I'm sure the Pearl Room management was all for it!

Good point, Neil. However, what would stop the 'burbs from eventually following suit if it passes in Chicago? I think we just need to look at the smoking ban and how that progressed to get an idea.
