Hey Camille,
I played at CBGB's. It's one of the worst hell holes I've ever been in.
You're not missing too much, trust me. I went looking someplace else for
water closet facilities as the one in the club was far too scary. Have you
ever seen a kangaroo? That would be far more impressive for me.
Robert
