CBGB Day 1 & Washington Square Park on August 31, 2005 @ 2pm

CBGB's lease expires on August 31st (although shows are scheduled through September 10th). The NY Times reports that their landlord wants them out. Last night (August 1st) was the kick-off of the 41 day run of announced benefit shows at the club. According to Steven Van Zandt (not "ZANT" Daily News!), there's also a bigger concert taking place in Washington Square Park on August 31st. (let's hope for Talking Heads, Beastie Boys, Blondie, and the reincarnated Ramones.)
