Rocket to Vegas - CBGB (1973-2006)

Famed punk palladium, CBGB & OMFUG, closed it doors for good the other night.

I finally learned what OMFUG means -- "OTHER MUSIC FOR UPLIFTING GORMANDIZERS" (owner Hilly Kristal defines a gormandizer as a "a voracious eater of music").

Kristal's moving it to Las Vegas (after being booted from their Bowery location after 33 years) to open it as a franchise.

I guess like a Hard Rock Cafe or something.

I can't wait to order a Thunder Burger or a Marquee Moon Pie.
