Yup, the skinny is the Kendall's for sale. The future of live music
depends upon the willingness of the new owner (I don't think there is one
yet) to carry on. Really sad. It's played host to some amazing artists
over the years while still managing to feel like a little hometown joint.

On the other hand, I won't miss the thick fog of smoke (illegal now!) or
the obnoxiously talkative crowd -- last Friday the Animators actually
singled out a table of five and asked them to shut up or go to the bar to
talk, only to have the offending table not only ignore their request but
talk loud enough to be heard over the music. Unbelievable.

I wonder what they'll do with all the framed posters signed by the
artists...
