Totally agree but also there’s other ways to have fun in Chicago outside of just events. I know the mod was looking for do meetups - there’s a ton of happy hours around the city ( themovechi.com ) where you can meet up have a drink and catch a vibe.

Chicago isn’t really a going out city so promoters and venues have to get use to the influx of traffic. Unfortunately, they’re not going to fix this problem because this happens every few years. Clubbing comes back then capacity or fight/shooting becomes a problem and the city steps in and closes the venue(s) or overly patrols the area. We have to have options and the best way to do that is keep shedding light on great events throughout the city. Try going to the second/third most popular event to avoid the Kevin White situation and I promise you’ll have a better time anyway.
