Oh for the days of a five dollar cover charge! And we used to complain..lol. I saw One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest there and arrived about ten minutes late. I remember being told to go through these doors. Having no prior frame of context on what the show was about, I thought my companion and I had accidentally stumbled upon an asylum. I kept saying, "But we are here to see a show." I also think if memory serves, that I saw Patti Smith there. I remember meeting an old flame at the refreshments area on another occasion. What a great collection!
