All ages venue Shire Road Club in Sacramento, CA is closed after a very short run -Word to the wise: If you like having an all ages venue in your area, talk to the folks at the venue and find out what YOU can do to support it and help it thrive. Having a venue is a HUGE responsibility / liability for the people in charge. Try to understand where they are coming from and do what you can to help keep the place open. BUT if you don't care, then this word of the wise does not apply and that is why your local all ages venue is gone while you sit at home or cry on internet forums about there not being any all ages venues.
