ARgamdasd, Temple Club is closed down indefinately as of yesterday--I called to confirm the rumor today:

*ring*
lady: Temple Club?

me: Hi, I heard a rumor that you were closing, is that true?

lady: yeah,

me: ok, thanks.
*click*
*sobbing*

I hated, playing upstairs because of the awful sound, but where are bands going to play now? Animal-Collective-type popularish bands won't fit at mac's.

I heard that there used be a cool spot underneith Beggars Banquet. Lizard Lounge or something, the stones played there? Anyway, is mac's really the only cool venue left? What about The Litterbox? Magdolina's? Gone Wireless Cafe? The Gilchrist Pub?



Also, I got this late today:
