I just got a call from the G/F. She is sitting at a bar directly across the street from CBGB's, with a ticket to tonight's show. (Yes, she actually flew out from California just so she could see it before it closed down.)
She asked if I wanted to fly out there with her this weekend, but I declined. First, I don't have an extra $1G to spend on a weekend in NYC hanging out at a dive bar, and second, I always told myself that the only way I was going to set foot in CBGB's was if I was actually
playing there.
That being said, CBGB's has an amazing history, and many great bands got their start there.
The world sure could use another Starbucks.
