#venue-closure

Thanks for taking away one of my favorite venues. You say its because you were losing cash, but we all know you got a huge grant from covid, a loan from your parents, bought horses, and basically ignored your business; and whined about it.

In a video taken from her show at the O2 Arena, in London, on Monday night, she asked: "Did they say that G-A-Y was shutting down? That G-A-Y shut down? The club? Here?" When it was confirmed, she said: "They shut down the gays, how dare [they]?" which brought a loud cheer from the audience. "We'll just bring the gays here," she added.

Ask any music-loving Londoner to name the city's best venues, and there's a decent chance Corsica Studios will appear somewhere near the top of their list.

Potrero Hill music venue Thee Parkside could close after 25 years, as its building is in the process of being sold to a new landlord, Thee Parkside owner Malia Spanyol told Mission Local. According to a real estate listing, the property at 1600 17th St. is currently "in contract." Mission Local reports that the buyer signed paperwork this week to buy the building for nearly $1.33 million and it is currently in escrow.

"It is with heavy yet grateful hearts that we announce The Mayan will be closing its doors at the end of September, after 35 unforgettable years."
