Harper\'s Ferry in Boston to close
« on: October 01, 2010, 11:37:03 pm »
What a sad day *snarf*.  Harper\'s Ferry is closing on Halloween. (boo hoo).  I think I\'m gonna skip AC to pay my respects to the last night of this great venue.  Who\'s with me?  

Share your fondest Harper\'s Ferry memories in this thread.  I\'ll start:

1.  Breakfast gets their van and all gear stolen the day after 9/11
2.  Freddie and Nikki throw burritos and get banned fo life in 04
3.  Post-Phenway Breakfast show they make everyone stand outside for an hour while the band is playing and the club is empty.  Several sober kids are turned away for being drunk.

What a great venue.

Getting to sit down with Robby Krieger after the boys opened up for his band back in \'01...  I remember Tim coming off the stage all excited and saying I threw in my best Doors licks...

Is the Middle East still a venue? I saw you guys once in the upstairs; isn\'t there a downstairs also? the Paradise? Thats about the extent of my Boston venues. Is Bill\'s Bar in Boston? too small?

middle east down stairs might work. lots of room to grow. if we play there, we would have to do some strong promo. thanks for your \'ser-ious\' response frolf.

Middle East is there.  Upstairs is still a great option.  Best room in town for The Breakfast IMO.  Downstairs might work like Sequoia said, but it\'ll take some big promo.

Paradise is too big.

Bill\'s Bar is okay.  Prefer the Middle East.

Basically, I just don\'t know what Boston is gonna do without Harper\'s Ferry.  The world really needs more venues with mediocre sound, no working lights, half the venue behind the stage, no green room, lousy staff, crumbling walls, and no parking.  I think I\'m going to cry.
