The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that The Venue in Los Gatos, California has banned all-ages shows due a complaint about an interaction between a 13-year-old and a man in his 20s
According to Los Gatos mother Karin Nelson:
The punk and indie bands are bringing their entourages, many of whom are older. I was led to believe the Venue was for middle school and high school kids. A 13-year-old gave her phone number to a 22-year-old and he's calling at 2 o'clock in the morning wanting them to go out. There was some drunk guy on the phone. It was unbelievable. They're bringing predators into town and they're calling and texting these girls.
The result is a cancelled concert season. If shows begin at the venue again, people will be carded to ensure they are under 18 and there will be a security guard present during concerts.
