OH NO! CBGBs is going away!

From the recent Fixer E-mail;
"Hey folks - Fixer hits CBGB, our favorite den of rock n' roll filth, this Saturday night for an evening of raging debauchery. With the club's demise imminent, this is likely the last time we'll play this venerable hell hole (in the sweetest sense of the words), so come on out. As you may or may not know, the satanic forces of the Bowery Residents' Committee are attempting to increase the rent to an unsustainable level for their tenant CBGB, no doubt to fund the BRC's nefarious "homeless shelters" and "outreach programs." Yes, it's Rokkers vs. Hobos 2005, and it looks like the Hobos might well triumph. (To be fair, they're probably due...) So come on out and spray the stairs with one last coat of vomit. Drop trow and enthrone yourself upon CB's illustrious toilet. And raise your fists in the air as Fixer rocks CBGB one last time... "
