The drummer from All Out War once got the same treatment.....from a burst pipe....gross The last show that I remember happening at Hal's was Bring It On/Fuck You All/Severed Head/Erase The Past. a ridiculous amount of fireworks were lit off during Erase The Past's set, causing all kinds of mayhem. I'm pretty sure the cops responding caused the venue to get shut down for good, but I'm not 100% positive. I heard it was "not zoned for music" and that's why.

Loved the old folks running the bar, and how different bands would make use of the stripper pole. Saw Lungfish for the first time there, an almost empty show(?!) when they were between bassists. I have a probably horrible-sounding walkman recording of that show somewhere, and also Ultra Bide and maybe some more, will have to find some day. Lots of good times getting drunk with great music before I knew a single soul in this city. I loved Memory Lane, first place I started seeing music after moving to Baltimore.

I remember one night we were playing and a guy tried to jump off or the lower set of stairs by the stage into the pit. He ended up getting his feet clipped out from under him landed on the back of his head and was out cold. Couple minutes later I see the same guy standing along the railing drinking a PBR licking his wounds. Classic. Yeah man Hal Daddy’s we used to play there a lot with my band For The Pain.

Jules still lives there. We recently had a conversation about the dangers of bricks from an old building across the street possibly falling on children--he seems pretty active in the neighborhood community, if not the punk community anymore. Interesting character. I wish I had gone to some shows there. I've practiced in a warehouse space two doors down for the past few years.
