"personally organized our Democratic watch party at the Irish Penny immediately following the Democratic convention, and I made sure the event was clearly outlined and approved by the owner. However, on Monday, the owner called me, upset and demanding I cancel the event. I refused, and he then said he would reduce the volume. I agreed and ended the call. Yesterday, he called again, yelling and stating that since he gave me a chance to cancel, he would now cancel the reservations himself. He also mentioned that based on his observations on Facebook, he assumed our attendees would be “old white women” (no offense) and expressed that he didn’t want such an event or any media coverage at his establishment. Firstly, I had clearly communicated the nature of the event from the start, and he should have raised any concerns earlier. Secondly, it’s the public that supports his business. Thirdly, when it comes to money and business, political affiliations should not overshadow the value of customer . Roadie Joe's turned out to be much better venue. What a blessing in disguise"
