Alrighty. I'm 5 comments in and ready to add my two cents.

I dont think anyone's really blameless. Adam laid it down pretty objectively, but I would like to add from the promoter's standpoint that everyone was pretty hyped up. Eli got loud, didnt enjoy the way they were chastised (some have labelled the bartender's actions unprofessional) and a rumble erupted. From what I could make out in my booth while I huddled down, one party would push (doesnt matter who) and the other would return fire.

The show didnt go as well as I could've hoped (especially for what couldve been a Speakeasy - Eli relationship), but it doesnt mean what happened on one night is going to permanently reflect anything about Speakeasy as a venue or ELI as a band.

In fact, it's probably helped both sides realize what works and what doesnt for shit they need to happen musicly.

I have no idea what's going on, but this is probably the best thing I've ever read.

Katie W, I guess I thought if you had enough energy to commentate from afar, you might have the time to also to locate links. I'm not bitchy enough to link to a wikipedia article defining hyperlinks, but you are pushing me.

Here's a little about Y'all. Y'all is a magazine about Southern living:
* Y’all Magazine is a bi-monthly magazine with a readership of 250,000, in publication since November 2003
* Featured in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Washington Times, Commercial Appeal (Memphis, Tenn.), Clarion Ledger (Jackson, Miss.), and many other regional newspapers.
* Television promotion for Y’all Magazine has covered the markets of Birmingham, Atlanta, Austin, Charleston, Biloxi, and others
* Named by Folio Magazine as one of the top 30 launches of 2003, out of a total of 950 magazines.
* Cross-promotion with ABC, E! Entertainment and Turner South..
* Headquartered in Oxford, Miss., the South's literary capital.

Also, here is the name and contact info of the editor of MOJO... since you weirdly care so much.

Re: City Stages is dead… and this is the @#$%^ that killed it!

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I never identified with City Stages simply because of that very precise fact: they were VERY VERY detached with "the times" and any sort of affinity for local talent.

I'm still of the opinion he reaped everything he could from being a nonprofit and in the end, treated Birmingham how he really thought of it all along.

Damn, he is getting off soooo easy.
