hey, i get my hair cut a milio's!

Do you get offered a Lou Reed mullet cut there?

Anyone dug up old venues in other cities?

two months after the fact, but here are the pictures I took:

Former site of Poor Richards:



Former site of the Aardvark Cinamatique:


with the Second City right next door:



Former site of the original Kinetic Playground/Rainbo:





The new Kinetic:



The former home of the Quiet Knight (and the only original building still standing. It was on the second floor:)





come on people, go explore your hometown and take some pictures for us!!

I have not the chance to travelling The States searching around the old venues where the band played on the past,cause i'm living in Europe but time ago ,found on net this elegant building pic, I'd like to share ......



January 13, 1966, Delmonico's Hotel, NYC, Annual Dinner of the New York Society for Clinical Psychiatry.

Did ya'll know that Scepter Studios later turned into Studio 54?

We should build a Google Map with all the Velvets' venues around the States... Where can I find a database with gigs, dates and venues?

I found all the chicago stuff by googling. Search for the names of the venues and the city (putting them in quotations helps - "poor richard's" instead of poor richard's, etc.) Most of the time I found them when people mentioned them in anecdotes, like "when I was in college, I used to always go to Bla Club at 123 Whatever street." Look at posters and advertisements too. It takes some work and a few hours but you'll eventually find a lot of information.

Any chance to see how La Cave & the Second Fret look now?

Great pics Sars!

I'm gonna have to trek around New England this spring and photograph the locations for the tea party , woodrose ballroom & hilltop fest.
