Steve was the manager. Always liked the bar. When we played people would drink, dance, and fight. And it was just out of the way enough to feel a little dangerous.

The're actually stain-<br /><br />less steel ladel cups bolted to<br /><br />form a decorative border, and<br /><br />weren't intentionally to represent<br /><br />a human body part. I was also the<br /><br />the curator for 2 yrs at the Bar/<br /><br />Gallery '85-'86. I performed at<br /><br />the venue solo and with a group<br /><br />called MOONBEAT. I remember fond-<br /><br />ly the bartender commenter. I don't<br /><br />recall your name, but you play<br /><br />flute and were connected to some-<br /><br />one at Island Records. We had a<br /><br />bunch of great conversations. Now,<br /><br />I'm "a real Mainiac!"
