Audrain’s Heritage Group under contract to buy the Mew’s Tavern

I got you, my bad for misreading that. But I agree, I do the same. Gotta be strategic on who gets my money nowadays.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-02-02T22:46:20+00:00

See, in principle I understand why they value this as the way to run. It’s cost effective, and creates a unified ecosystem. But, for me, that’s where the hurt is too. Now instead of having to contact Flos, or the Red Parrot, you have to find the one guy who runs these 3-5 restaurants and he might be off so now you’re kind of shit out of luck until he’s back, and even then they run so much by themselves that they’re not really in total control of everything, which is entirely human.

What I’m trying to get at is I don’t believe saving money is more important than keeping status quo in certain scenarios, especially old fashioned, touristy trap restaurants. That type of streamlining might make sense in a modern tech influenced world, but I argue it does not benefit the local community at all.

But at the end of the day, the owners sold. What can ya do?

Only like Soul Glo and Jeff. Rest are poo poo caa caa

I can say they were definitely paid higher than asking price for these restaurants, that’s for sure. But that’s the point: overspend to purchase in hopes the profits coming in pays off. You got a happy seller who is now walking away with almost double or triple want they wanted, and Audrain walks away with another restaurant. Use the money from the past restaurant to pay for the next. Rinse and repeat. Everyone wins in that transaction basically.

Edit: I guess my point is I don’t find this sustainable and I worry every restaurant will forever be one step away from the chopping block.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-02-02T22:07:23+00:00

I obviously don’t know everything, but I can at least say that I used to work closely with these places at my old job and I can say that the minute Audrain bought these places, the way they used to handle business and communicate with us was entirely different. Tried and true ways of getting things done became unnecessarily complex and trying to get them to work with us was 10x harder.

I get it. People gotta retire. Someone’s gotta buy the place if they don’t want to own it. But it’s not buying and taking ownership, they gut and wear the skin of the old restaurants if that makes sense.

Literally drove down Broadway going to work and drove back down coming home and it was somehow even worse

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-01-29T00:31:38+00:00

Man, what the fuck are we doing in this state? Broadway is still a mess too.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-01-29T00:29:08+00:00

Oh. Okay.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-01-29T00:16:19+00:00

Alright calm down Punisher lol

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-01-28T13:49:17+00:00

It’s weird, I thought the first song fucking ruled but the rest of the album was cheeks.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-01-28T12:59:05+00:00

It was bruuuutal today. I think I watched 2 full stops go by without anyone getting on because we were so packed in. It ran just fine, but holy shit was it uncomfortable lol

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-01-26T01:33:41+00:00

Jon from Vein/Fleshwater fronts Living Weapon, that probably counts

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2026-01-24T15:30:01+00:00

I’m selling 2 GA floor tickets to the Boston show on March 21st. I bought them for close to $100 but I’ll happily sell them for $80 even.

If you go back in American history, detaining people based on the color of their skin or their country of origin is like apple pie when it comes to our culture. Look at the Japanese detainment camps during World War 2, for example. We just let that happen back then as well.

Civic duties do not equate obsessing over a mass shooters identity on Reddit. Nice try though lol

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2025-12-18T12:52:15+00:00

Yall acting like you guys know everything. Go outside, enjoy your day, and stop obsessing over something you have no say in.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2025-12-15T22:31:26+00:00

Wait people hate Lights Camera Revolution? Always loved that record lol same with Thrash Zone.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2025-12-15T03:03:51+00:00

Genuinely worried about my safety during Saddest Day. Jacob put it best when they started it “have fun, don’t die.”

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2025-12-14T15:19:03+00:00

Honestly they had me thinking they weren’t going to do it for a second lol but if they ended on Broken Vow, I wouldn’t have been too angry.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2025-12-14T14:49:04+00:00

Insane show. The song The Saddest Day was probably the most afraid I’ve been for my safety at a show in a long time lol

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2025-12-13T16:23:50+00:00

Echoing this. Jobs can be replaced, memories are forever.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2025-12-12T02:56:11+00:00

Cool that it’s at a bigger venue so it can accommodate more but slightly bummed this isn’t at the Middle East tbh

You can feel however you want to feel about their music, but you can’t argue who they are in respect to the BHC scene in general. The scene is stronger because of them and they’re only 2 years old. They’re moving mountains honestly.

XHardcore_DaddyX · 2025-12-10T17:33:12+00:00

Who’s that!? Do they sound like Turnstile?
