This is a colaborative effort to regain control of the Arts Garage Waterfront from the current manager Brian Ixia Graniela. This would secure an open venue for customers who have been made to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable doing business with TAG Waterfront.
All bookings will be handled by Ola from now on until he appoints a new manager.
im still talking to people behind the scenes to make sure we get a fresh start at the venue. the stories ive heard from you guys about your experiences are exactly why we have to keep pushing for this change.

the momentum behind this is honestly wild and shows just how many of you want a better environment at the garage. it feels like things are finally starting to shift in the right direction.

I did a lot of work at the venue for free, organized an entire line up and room for New Era, by his request, the day of the party, it went really well, all vinyl old school house & dnb, but no one got paid. I painted a canvas for a charity auction that never got a donation, and I sold water by request last minute. He flipped out on me, cursing me out calling me entitled, and fake and said I might be talented but I'll never go anywhere, all over me asking for a $15 comp, when I've spent at least 12+ hours working in there, for nothing. He told me I'd never play there again. He also sent me a picture of some of my art buffed saying "fixed it." Bad vibes all around.

My experience with Brian ixia is this:
The first two parties were awesome. As soon as this guy started coming around, the parties just got worse and worse. We do not need this kind of person running this. It puts too much of a negative vibe on the party where it then becomes no longer enjoyable. This will then decrease the amount of ravers that originally come and want to enjoy their time there.
While at the Waterfront Arts Garage, I ran into this guy. I suggested a DJ to him that was well known to come and play at "the garage" He laughed in my face, became angry and then continued his ignorance by yelling at me aggressively as close as an inch away from my face. We love our scene but this type of negativity and by far the most ridiculous human being needs to go!

Never met the guy and he's threatened and harassed me, making a fake facebook using my name and claiming "I" snitched out the last party that was raided. Great way to bring unwanted and unwarranted anonymous aggression my way. I'm also disabled and waiting for a kidney transplant. The cause of the beef? Me calling him out on committing fraud.

You have no clue what happened that night if that's what he wants to throw out there I'm okay with that if I did in fact say I was a DJ and got in for free then what establishment is he really running. He's running a rundown beat up Barn he thinks is the hottest thing that happened to Philadelphia and he has run it straight into the ground

Bad vibes all around unfortunately everyone that runs into him has the exact same story. Everybody else is a nobody and he is apparently going far beyond everyone else he is a self indulged over-inflated ego and he will burn his own Bridge I'm sorry you had this experience with them I hope you are well
