I think the outside paints a pretty accurate picture of the inside of that place.
The Marquee is a pretty grimy place, but it’s still one of my favorite music venues. I actually like the grittiness there..it’s very farmiliar and comfortable, and i think it would just be odd if they changed it to one of those tidy little clubs that have sprout up all over downtown. at least they aren’t misleading anyone by the appearance of the building. I was very happy when they decided to keep it as a venue.
Birdland was the best.
Nah, Pub Flamingo was the best. Pabst Blue Ribbon!
No wait! Cabbagetown! Remember Cabbagetown? Pabst Blue Ribbon!
I hear Adam Sandler’s voice in my head..Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Birdland!!! awesome I almost forgot about the old hole under the Trade-Mart!Cranks, I remember the Pub Flamingo but I never did manage to sneak into there…:)
What’s it from, poop?!?!? It’s driving me mad! I know I know it, but I’m old and don’t have the same access to stored memories that I used to!!
Cajun Man! (Or..Cajon Mon!) I know what you mean about the memory thing..but i hang onto all of that useless funny crap. Go figure. 🙂
