Subject: RE: Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash V
To all who came last night...
THANK YOU!
The house was packed to capacity, and it appeared that everyone had a wonderful time, audience and performers alike.
And now some really hopeful news. It looks like there is a deal in the works that will allow CBGB's/Omfug and CB's 313 Gallery to stay in business. It's not finalized yet, and not details have been made public, but the odds of it happening are better than fifty-fifty.
In any event, the Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash will likely continue. We have scouted out an alternative venue in the same general vicinity of downtown New York, and if need be it should be available. But right now it looks like we'll be back at good old CB's 313 Gallery in 2006.
