Looks like I got to BAR just in time.

...because apparently they had a bigass fire there! Which blows, because that place was beautiful. They had all these pretty candles...

Dan, got this from Rick at Bar in New Haven

"Hello-
As you may have already heard, BAR nightclub suffered some damage last week from a fire while the building was being re-roofed. Thankfully, no one was hurt. While the restaurant will be up and running before you know it, our Sunday night concert series is on hiatus until we can replace the sound equipment and repair the building. In other words, we're just taking some time to bring things back up to speed and make the night even better than before. Unfortunately that means cancelling some amazing shows that we've worked hard to get:

All shows at BAR have been cancelled until Sunday March 26th.

Again, the pizza restaurant will be operating much sooner than that, but we've got some work to do before we're ready for our Sunday concert series to be up and running. Obviously all Shaki Presents shows that are NOT scheduled at BAR are still on. And no, we were not able to put any of those cancelled shows in other venues (yes, we tried, but it just can't happen).

There will be more news, soon enough, but that is the short of it.
Thanks for your support.
