Kevin Grimm has just informed me that Juicy this Saturday at Circus has been officially cancelled. It's not that the bar is unable to host the event, but that the owners are afraid that we will get too crazy and destroy what they have done to amp up the venue. Regardless, there is no reason to go to Circus this Saturday.
What they don't understand is that if they had gone about closing and firing everybody at circus the right way, they would have had no need to fear this at all. If it had been announced in a timely and respectful manner the last Thump and the last Juicy would have been a pleasant night to remember. If we had known about it in advance, we could have known to enjoy the last of our time there, and given it a bittersweet goodbye.
The fact is, they have had these plans in line since January. They could have easily let us know that February was the last month we would have to enjoy Circus. Personally, I think they went about it in a horrifying insincere and foolish manner. Except for My Best Friends Party events, and other producers that I know and want to support, I highly doubt I will be venturing into Circus OR Skully's again. Its just bad business.
I am really sad that I won't be able to share any more good times at Circus with you this saturday. And that there will be no more Juicy's to enjoy. However, tonight is FREQ at the shrunken head. Lets all go and enjoy, and see each other there! Don't forget that our girl Lisa Clapp will be there to pour us all drinks and wash the sorrow away with good company and good music!
