Spent all of yesterday thinking about
@saintvitusbar while running my own show at
@robertaspizza with
@creemmag . The latter was a big success and thank you for coming if you did, it's definitely appreciated!
I started to go through some Vitus photos yesterday and just like my Roberta's gig, really didn't have that many! Because when you're having a good time, you obviously forget.
I'll miss the Manhattan Ave spot, but music will never die, and venues come and go. More than anything I'm thankful for the friendships and the memories made. But that's the best part, because those will never go away. Thanks for that
@arthurjshepherd @gslades and
@confinesworld
So for those of us mourning the loss of Manhattan Ave, just a reminder that a scene doesn't work without people. We were lucky enough to have THREE heavy music focused venues there for a while (
@theacheronbk and
@lucky13saloon ) so never take that for granted. Get out there and start a club for yourself, or start a band or book shows or just show support. Because the real value is the friends and moments along the way.
