good news for people who like bad news
I have yet to confirm this from an official source, but it appears as though the Lamplighter (at least as it currently exists) is going under. Between this, the Vogue turning into a supper club, and the Arch turning into a Mexica themed(!?) nightclub, it tops off a year that's... well... just like every other year in Vancouver. Speaking of places I like to go, does anybody know if DV8 is ever going to reopen?
Also, the Stars show is now at the Croation Cultural Centre.
File this under the potentially not terrible category: Ryan Adams has recorded an album with Willie Nelson. Now, I have nothing but love for either of these artists (even though Ryan's last - though first recorded - record of '05 is kinda weak), but I remind you that last time these two stepped into a studio of some kind the result was a GAP commercial.
I just downloaded the most lifeless cover ever.
edit: actual good news. Blood Brothers finally return to headline a show in Vancouver. Mesa Luna. January 29th.

Don't forget about the Ridge going under as well. I realize that there are never concerts there, but it belongs on that list.

Actually I saw the Cowboy Junkies at the Ridge in 1989.
Besides, it's not really closing. It's re-opening right after it officially closes and will be run by the fine folks (Leonard Schein) who run the Fifth Ave. They've already put brand new seats in (just saw Stop Making Sense there last week).

But The Ridge won't be a second-run theatre anymore.
