Obriens pub is closing[views:1972][posts:20]______________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 8:45am - Joe/NotCommon ""] yup, after august it's all done. Did anyone else hear this? It was announced Friday when Gut played there. |
| _______________________________ [Jul 5,2004 9:05am - Randy ""] noooo!!!!!!!! We're already short on clubs around here, and the beer is cheap.......just ask anyone who saw us play the other night. UGH what a mess. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 9:07am - Joe/NotCommon ""] If it really is closing then this will definately negatively impact what I do, not only because I won't have that extra club to book at, but also all the people who book the gay shows there may try to move into the Chopping Block. Is anyone here rich? Buy O'Brien's. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 9:17am - dirteecrayon ""] rev should buy the club and have PV perform every night... |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 9:18am - Joe/NotCommon ""] If someone else buys it they should hire me as the manager and Brian Morse as the booking agent. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 9:23am - dirteecrayon ""] and me as the bouncer cuz i'm intimidating RAWR! |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 10:16am - deadhooker ""] ill be the bouncer of o briens. i could rock that one out |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 10:17am - SUBJUGATE ""] hmmm we're supposed to be doinfg a bostons dead in sept |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 10:21am - Joe/NotCommon ""] i just emailed them about a september date, just to see what happens. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 10:22am - Joe/NotCommon ""] sep.11: Gut, BOE, Disengaged and Bitchslicer |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 10:28am - SUBJUGATE ""] we have a bostons dead i think on the 9.4.04 |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 10:29am - Joe/NotCommon ""] okay, well I can change the line ups from other september shows I want to do |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 12:15pm - pessimist ""] FUCK! |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 12:28pm - Dissector ""] This sucks. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 12:31pm - Joe/NotCommon ""] it's probably part of the conspiracy to keep metal out of Boston, I wouldn't be surprised if mass concerts bought it just to shut it down. |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 12:59pm - Robteratism ""] its gonna be a sad day... |
| _______________________________ [Jul 5,2004 2:23pm - assuck ""] god damn it all. i wish i knew that guy from lowell who won the 290 million. i'd just have him buy obrien's and then sell it to me for a dollar. |
| _____________________________ [Jul 5,2004 2:28pm - blue ""] this isnt happening. i refuse to listen. there is no reason for obriens to close. |
| _____________________________________ [Jul 5,2004 2:30pm - the_reverend ""] how many "o'briens is closing" or "o'briens is not doing shows any more" or "o'briens is expanding" threads are there going to be? |
| ______________________________________ [Jul 6,2004 9:14am - Joe/NotCommon ""] I got the real deal last night: FACT: O'Brien's is NOT closing. They might shut down for a brief period in the fall or winter to renovate the bathrooms though. FACT: O'Brien's is purchasing a complete and better sound system, within the next 2 weeks. FACT: Shred is now completely in charge of booking O'Brien's. There is also a possibility of one of the two things happening (the owners are seriously considering these 2 options): Knocking down the wall next to the stage, and expanding into the space that use to be the antique dealer. If they do this they may try to become 18+, or they might stop doing live music and turning into a Kinvara type bar. Purp told me the owners have been pondering those 2 ideas for over a year now, so he doesn't really think either will ever happen. |
