CBGB is closing. I'm hardly a gourmandizer, but I feel the need to do a bit of justice to the place that helped birth so many great punk bands -- the place where the Ramones were born and the match that started UK's punk fire. It's one of those things where you go "It's a frickin' institution."
So I'm goin' there.....tomorrow or Thursday. They close on the 31st, and the last show is Patti Smith at the end of the week. I won't be able to attend that, but I've gotta do a little something...spend too much on drinks and merch, etc.
....and I'm finding awesome places in the City where I might be able to go and check out some of the ACTUAL punk rock scene here. Mweeheehee...
