A few more details today about the CBGB biopic via the Savannah Morning News ...
• Crews are continuing to build the set that will replicate CBGB in a Savannah studio. "The actual bar — and toilets — of iconic club CBGB will be flown here and installed." (Ed note: And where have the toilets been in recent years...?)
• "There's also a lowered area where producers will shoot false exteriors of the Bowery, with virtual New York looking north across Louisville Road, west of downtown Savannah."
• "The open extras call for “CBGB” is 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Tuesday at Meddin Studios, 2315 Louisville Road. Producers are looking for music lovers, musicians, motorcyclists, 1970s car owners and people with an overall ’70s look."

Well, I guess there will be no casting call for someone who lived through the 70’s. Sigh, dazed and confused forever.
I read somewhere (thought it was here but maybe not) that all the CBGB stuff - the bar, the awnings, the toilets - were kept in storage in some Brooklyn warehouse since it closed.
Gabba gabba, we don't accept you, not one of us!
Some of the stuff is in the basement bar section of CBGB's Xtra Place. Which was currently used for special occassions
