On the night of the show that occurred at 7 30 it took me a very long time to get home when ordinarily its smooth. Three times my house has been tagged with graffiti the morning after a concert. Reporter the Entertainment Commission at times appeared reluctant to grant the armory a fullfledged permit for even more concerts especially after two shows in february the neighbors said were extraordinarily loud and did not have the proper permits. Our windows were rattling. We couldnt go to sleep. Those events were too loud and we made a mistake. Theres no question that. I would go on record and apologize. Reporter the Building Owner came tonight armed with apologies and promises including soundproofing the doors and windows of the armory and controlling the music volume.
