UFO Factory is closing

[SlavicGoth]

If im not mistaken UFO is closing this week and might become a new place. And this would be the last event.

Fuck, I heard it changed ownership.  I hope they got a sweet payout for it.  I remember when that construction company "accidentally" hit the wall.  They survived quite a bit down there and I hope whatever the new place is continues to do so.

 

More than likely they'll make it some trendy as fuck place and jack up the prices 2x at least.  When I think about the gentrification going on I think about this:
 

 

I remember when Alex (one of the former bartenders at City Club) lived in a loft around the corner.  He had some guy stay in his place that he AirBNB'd out when he wasn't there.  Turns out the guy didn't even stay, he was just scoping out the building which he later bought and kicked everyone out to "renovate" it and jack up the prices.

UFO still seems to be a thing, and I heard Beborn Beton is playing at the next Something Cold on September 4th.  I plan on going if I can find a ride.

UFO is under new ownership. Renamed to UFO Bar
The people who oversee Spotlite are the new owners - specifically Roula David (whom I'm sure you'll be hearing plenty more about her soon enough.)

Beborn Beton is playing October 4th (not September 4th) and Something Cold has no involvement with that one.

Interesting times...
