Recommended Posts

I keep hearing people go on about it maybe shutting etc. Whats the score, is it just being watched or are they looking at their licence?

Any deaths or incedents i should know about?

The city of Chicago has been f'ing with Crobar for years. I personally don't think that they are going to shut it down, or change the license, the place brings too many tourists to Chicago.

The city is just paranoid because they suspect drug use and all that stuff, but I don't think it will go anywhere, they are just rumors. I think they are rumors started to draw people in thinking that this might be their Last night at Crobar....

my perception/understanding is this:

crobar got tagged with a 30-day license suspension in 1999 which has been under appeal ever since. I think they're about out of appeals and i don't see them getting this particular stint overturned.

i think cbar is trying to get their ducks in a row and settle all their differences with the city so when they finally serve this suspension the city wont jack them and pull any of their lcienses while they're shut and force them to reapply (ppa, late liquor, general liquor) which would take the better part of a year under the best of circumstances. (i've dealt with ppa apps before and it is a huge pain in the ass even under ideal cirumstances)

If we meet up before francis k tomorrow we can talk about this.

well this is what I've heard so far.. who knows how much is true..

crobar had a 30 day suspension of their liquor license back in 1999 for some violation.

they've been appealing and stalling and delaying the enactment of the suspension since then.

since the original suspension, they've had a couple more violations against their license.

all this has lead people to believe their time will be up soon.

i think they're doing a good job with their lawyers, bribes, whatever to stay open.. something Karma was unable to do..

they're still drawing lots of people, maybe not the huge business they were doing last year, but its still a major attraction.

rudy giuliani, the mayor of nyc and the mastermind behind the closing of twilo, is flexing his underground dictator tactics from here.

Thanx!!

Oh and Centro Fly,

b2b knows his shit, yo. i never really hit limelight or tunnel, but they are still open. you also have exit - a bit more cheesy/commercial than those two. then there is the pretty people place, world. fuck that place - ain't my bag.

there is the soundfactory, which i did go to appease some firends about a month ago. got the hear 20+ minute version of "hide u" - definitely a place to go and see at least once in your life. wild shows, lots of drugs, perhaps even a sex sighting or two. some people love it there, some people don't.

but as b2b said, i too dig vinyl and centro-fly. more so centro-fly. always good music and a good time there.

aug. 10-12, eh? cool - now i know when to leave town.

j/k - touch base around then if you want to meet up. i'll let you buy me drinks

Why people find the dirty little secrets of the club industry confuses me. I just go to dance and hear some good choons, that's all I care about. If the places closes down, the promoter will take it elsewhere, or some other Twilo/Nation/Crobar will open up.

As for Gatien the guy ripped off loads of people. I was talking to a girl who used to work for him. He screwed all his staff on tax, THEY had to pay his tax for him.. fucker.
