One way to see the inside of CBGB again



Here's a detail about the upcoming CBGB Music and Film Festival that we missed... Brooklyn Vegan pointed out yesterday that the original CBGB walls and sound system will be reconstructed at the Landmark Sunshine Cinema on East Houston next Thursday... on the occasion of the keynote addresses by former MTV President Van Toffler and former Guns N' Roses guitarist Duff McKagan ...

CBGB owner Hilly Kristal and club talent booker Louise Staley oversaw the removal of the interior back in November 2006... According to a news release that Brooklyn Vegan quotes, "Hilly wanted them to live on. He saved them for exactly this type of occasion," said Staley.

Meanwhile, "CBGB: the Movie" premieres at the Sunshine on Tuesday night. Maybe you read Marc Campbell's review of it at Dangerous Minds after you see it...

    How come nobody's made the obvious suggestion that the reconstruct the bathrooms?
