Wow, what a dump.

I suppose Studio 54 wasn't particularly glamorous either.

I can't remember if we left any graffiti; I know we didn't have any stickers, which is too bad.
It was actually a very good place to get exposure on the nights when they'd just put 3 or 4 acts up there to see who got a good response... especially if you went on before the band that had gotten 100 friends to show up. Go on after them, and you'd be playing to an empty house, LOL.

That's the only venue where I ever got out from behind the drums... we used to do one song where we traded instruments, and I played bass on that one. The crowd didn't bother me at all, even though they were close enough to spit on you- I discovered my inner ham that evening, and nobody spat on me.   

They also used to do an all-ages hardcore thing, Saturday afternoons, I think- that crowd was a little intimidating, LOL.   Once I was standing there outside the mosh pit, minding my own business, and I got smacked in the face inadvertently by a size 15 Doc Marten- some skinhead had hurled himself, from behind me, at some other guy who'd had the unmitigated gall to come in there wearing a Members Only jacket during the hardcore showcase.
