Danny Doubt Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I'm sorry to hear this but i hope all goes well...and gd luck in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Storm Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Warning...As much as I would love to allow it I can't. If I find anyone damaging or removing any part of the venue thinking that they want a piece of the place for old times sake then they will be dealt with! Anything broken or missing will have to be replaced at 'my expense' and believe me I've put enough of my own cash into that place!!!! We are still tenants we are simply ceasing to trade! It's not a padlock on the doors situation!!! Please be respectful and also pass the word around.Thank you all. Words fail me!!!!!!!!!Jim (I'll be the one growling at you just before I set Sharon on you if you misbehave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 right, should I go buy a big bottle of cider and tan than before i come down tonight?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project S.A.M. Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Ah yes, I remember the pillaging that went on when the old Drakes closed down- bins, small pirates, drink price lists... I legitimately obtained some of the photos that were pinned to the bar, and a broken cymbal that once belonged to Cost of Status, of all people. But any loot I got was freely given by bona fide Drakes staff!Currently cursing the fact that I have to work tonight until ten. Hopefully it won't be packed to capacity by quarter past and I can get in. How about opening up the secret masonic tunnel under the balcony if the bar gets too busy?The open mics have been a long-running tradition in Drakes, and an appropriately inclusive way of signing off.Hopefully be there to drink Drake's Brew one last time in about 3 hours time.
