Something so crazy, so insane, so bonkers, so nutty, so shocking, so tragic, so earth shattering, so off the hook, off the chain, and off the wall happened this weekend that I just had to come out of retirement and tell you about it.
I had to pay to get into Tower yesterday.

OMG! That's the worst. The other day, I walked away because I knew I couldn't get in.
Obviously we need more local shows, so we can get down with the kids.

OMG!
WTF?
KTHXBYE
That's good, because the money you spent will help pay for new carpet, a handicap bathroom, new projection equipment, and further investigations into the gambling racket Dave Smith ran from "The Tower Room"

what about the smell in the bathrooms? and i'm not talking about cigars.
I thought they were exempt from the ADA because of when it was built. How the hell are they going to make those bathrooms accessible? In the valley of elah was not worth the money I paid. It wasn't bad, I'd say it was worth about 4 dollars.
This doesn't bode well for the secret blog

No, they're not exempt from the ADA non-compliance. They've been sued once and lost after some wheelbound lady pissed herself in the lobby.
Those bathrooms won't be made accessible. There's a closet on the ground floor that employees change in. That'll be the ADA bathroom.
I don't think they're exempt from ADA. I think they're planning on putting a ADA restroom in the area known as the "emloyee closet" behind where the drinking fountain used to be. That's why they took out the water fountain five years ago. Cause that's the logical first step: tear out the one thing that works and is useful before any plans are drawn up.
I doubt the smell is going away any time soon.

You know, if somebody was putting ice in the urinals, then we wouldn't be having this problem. Back to the secret blog, folks!

The powers that be weren't happy with ice ice baby.
What's not to love about ice in urinals? Personally I'm a fan.

I think I've heard you refer to it as the sacramento treat.
if the ice is brought back, I will use the equal rights amendment to force them to put ice in the ladies toilets. i want to pee on ice, too! oh yeah, I forgot the era didn't pass.
Every time I hear about ice in the urinals I try to start a rally for ice in the ladies toilets. Some people (coughsecretblogcough) don't think it's necessary. The women's bathroom smells too, people!

wouldn't it be hard to keep ice in the women's toilets? i'd think you'd end up with porcelain bowls of ice water pretty quickly. more importantly who would be in charge of restocking this ice?

This process leads inevitably to the "chocolate snow-cone effect."
I'll have you know I tried reviving the ice in the urinal culture at ye olde Tower, but these new kids just have no respect for pissing on ice. If you don't wanna pay you could always try walking by the cashier with a big smile and waiving. I'd let ya go.
Every time I hear about the compliance, or mainly just the general good-idea-ness of having disabled access to bathrooms, and people point out when the bathroom was built, I just think "Um, wasn't the guy who was president of the united states when the tower was built in a wheelchair?" Surely such things were already being considered in those days.
Somebody needs to bust the "Save The Tower Theater" campaign wide open; possibly well-intentioned upon conception, it currently saves the Tower from nothing other than implementing intelligent changes and from possibly being owned and managed by people who give a shit about it.
