3.0 Mag Earthquake in Santa Monica Bay Reminds Writer’s Ass To Move Westward, Begin Shaking
By Ryan - Tuesday September 30th 2008
30 September 2008, 757pm: The 3.0 magnitude bump recently felt, by my ass, on the hardwood floor while halfheartedly watching the closing credits of a three-year-old episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” serves as a friendly, if not altogether unsettling, reminder: It is time for my ass to get my ass off of the floor and start making his way over to the Temple Bar for the venue’s closing party tonight. End of an era and all that. Hop to it, ass.

The temple bar was AWESOME last night! Sucks to see it go.
Must agree Tawnya. They had a good run and that was a great way to end it. It will be interesting to see what kind of acts show up next in the joint.
For those of you who missed it, there were something like 40 people on stage around 1130pm, each taking turns freestyling and lauding the establishment through verse and song. Dwight Trible took a turn. The first time I saw Dwight Trible, he shared a billing with Pharoah Sanders at the old Catalina. Not bad for a free party.
Most importantly, though, the Westside Rentals sign guy was there – in full effect!
What is the coolest, closest, live music venue located near umm say the Water Gardens in Santa Monica? Hmmm… there must be a map online that pinpoints live music venues – any suggestions? I recently went to Cinema Bar located off of Sepulveda in Culver city to see a friend play and it was cool but TINY inside.
DeMarco was purportedly working on an interactive venue map for our site a couple years back. After he blasted off into space, though, I don’t have high hopes of seeing it completed.
