The "O" n North Van....
« on: March 15, 2016, 08:14:51 AM »
One of the few holes I missed playing in bands at as a teen, but at the Jan Arden concert she commented how she used to play there in the 80's. I do remember it being demolished... An era gone by ;)

If we got kicked out of other bars (being under age) we could always count on being served the the O! The waiters were older and only cared about "one for yourself".
9 years and counting....

wait, what...? i knew there were lots of old washed up rock stars on this forum (myself included), but i didnt know you were one of them...?  ;) :) :cool:

lets hear some details...!!

An era gone by  ;)

i'm pretty out of the loop these days, and i know that there are still a few venues out there...but the live music landscape sure has changed a lot in the last little while. some of the holes i remember playing in that are no longer around...the columbia, the brickyard, route 66, the niagara, the marine club, the starfish room...and a few others that i never played at but used to frequent...the town pump, dicks on dicks...probably lots of others too that i missed out on...era gone by for sure but still lots of fun places to go too!!  :cool:

Thanks for this, Brian!

Silas, you sure dug up some old memories of the rock star days!! I played all of those rooms... I sure miss playing shows but oh, how I don't miss moving me drums around. Multiple times a night.... often after the singer/trumpet player/even the bass player has taken some fine young lady home for 'company'!!
