Back in early 1985, the last time I went to CBGB's, I went to take a whiz in the bathroom, which was down a long flight of narrow steps. My sister waited for me on top of the flight because no one was around and the bathrooms are pretty cruddy, so why wait next to them?
So I'm finishing and I hear yelling, so I come running out and there's Hilly the owner's girlfriend whatever her name was in a ruckus with my sister. And then my sister tells her, "See I told you my brother was down there."
So I'm rushing up the steps, it turns out she was yapping at my sister because she was standing in the way even though nobody was around at the moment and if somebody came by it was easy to step aside.
So we're walking away, my sister's freaking out because the woman had told her to move or she was going to 86 her. Unfamiliar with the term, she thought it was some kind of sexual thang as a threat. So I explained her, naah, she was just threatening to give her the boot.
This was a Hardcore Punk matinee, and I used to go to everyone since the end of October of 1982, but this time I hadn't gone for a couple of months because I was busy working 7 days a week doing stock in a clothing store during the holiday season. But then the scene seem changed, it already had a blaah air, and that confrontation only added to the ugliness. It was the last time I went to CBGB's.
Just thought I'd share
