  Great venue, sad news.

• Yes its true.
  
  The owner won\'t sell to Bell for a reasonable price.
  
  I thought at first he was just playing hard ball but it now seems like he actually is set on a price that bell will not pay.
  
  too bad.
  
  glad i got to see a lot of great shows tehre while it lasted.

• Bell is the man. I hope he gets a place ...
  
  I will be there this Friday... SCC Acoustic Duo > Ryan Montbleau Band > Assembly of Dust!! Can\'t wait for some Pumpkin Ale, the beer there was just as good as the music.

  Since we\'re on the subject of burning down the house, don\'t forget Fire + Water cafe.
  
  Also gone (if memory serves me correctly):
  
  The Call
  Wetlands
  
  Did the Blues Cafe and Donovan\'s Reef also close?

• this is really too bad. it was a great venue, and even though i only saw one show there i had hoped to see many more.  The parking lot was super heady and it looked right out onto the water, plus the deck was really nice for setbreak as well.  just a shame really. :thumbsdow

• Porter\'s did close and even though it "reopened" it\'s dead to us now.  Have to give them credit for that.  Blues Cafe is a good addition.  Can\'t give them any credit for The Wetlands, they only played there once or twice and a ton of bands played there.  It\'s a venue that they happened to play that happened to close.  You look at the rest of that list, The Breakfast is among the leaders if not #1 in bands to play there the most.  There has to be a connection...if you were booking regular Breakfast shows from 1998-2001 and you weren\'t Toads Place or something, you were in trouble!  THE CURSE OF THE BREAKFAST!
