The Stroke of Midnight

In about 40 minutes, the lease between the Bowery Residence Committee and CBGB will expire. Renewal will be put on the table. CBGB's luckily has the backing of Mayor Bloomberg, so hopefully renewal will happen. It's a crapshoot though.

Earlier today, I made a cameo at the Washington Square Park rally to save the club. Being at work though, I was only able to catch the first hour or so. Stevie Van Zandt was the organizer and there was a guest cameo of Paulie from Sopranos. He presented the Gavin Rossdale's new band. It was a bittersweet event, however I suspect many people that showed up had no idea what was going on. You had your slew of hipsters, drug dealers, 9 to 5ers, students, mullets, no t-shirts, tatoos, and strollers.
