David Nelson Venue Closes
Forums:
Actually it's just my local town bar. Many Rock and Roll greats have passed through it's doors. They did midget stuff recently.
"Lifelong Forestville resident and club owner Wayne Speer, 79, says he hopes to get permission to reopen and continue operating while repairs are made."
I should make him an offer. Who's in?

The Sunday afternoon shows
The Sunday afternoon shows were always sweaty and fun. Have seen some excellent music there over the years.
The ugly 70's paneling on the walls, complete with album covers decor, reminded me of basements on the East Coast. A true dive bar.

I think it was at this show,
I think it was at this show, or some related Kimock show -- the place was sweatbox packed and the bartenders were so drunk by mid-show it was impossible to get a normal drink. And the one bar-back guy would always pick the quiet moments to stumble through the crowd collecting glasses and clanking them so loud, it surely ruined the tapes -- and those glasses were definitely not washed too well, if at all, before they were reused. Good times...

I lived down the way on Occidental Rd and never actually went there unless a hippie band was playing. The local locals were generally not too engaging and it was more interesting to hang at the Sebastopol haunts. But that place raged when good music was in town.

on a related note -- anyone
on a related note -- anyone remember the DNB New Years Eve show at Ace Cider Pub? I got engaged that night and celebrated there. I could use a recording of that if anyone could point me in the right direction. Whatever happened to the Cider pub?.. for a short while they had music on the patio and served food.
