Neighbor Helping Lead Effort To Save Grace Street Music Venue
Bobby Egger, Pine Street neighbor and proprietor of Vinyl Conflict record store and label, has announced his involvement in an effort to make sure 929 W. Grace Street remains a music venue.
From his Facebook post:
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been working with a couple friends. This was just an idea and it simply whirl-winded into a reality. After speaking with so many of you yesterday, I realized we need to act on this rather than brainstorm.
Myself, Gabe Lopez and Harry Pinnix want to keep 929 West Grace Street a venue, just like all of you do.
I’ll keep this brief, I believe in this space. We will be taking the proper loans to make this right. We will continue to bring you the entertainment that you have enjoyed in this location for the last few decades. There is plenty that needs to change and we are already working to make sure that the space will adapt and update how it needs.
Help us share this link, there is a long road ahead of this, but I am confident in this decision.
yours in punk

A Good First Year For The Open High Fall Festival
While the morning was a bit droopy after last night’s rain, and I am sorry more neighbors did not take advantage, Open High’s Fall Festival was still a solid hit.
There was lots of great different kinds of chili for the chili-cook-off.
Tyler Meacham was one of the amazing musicians performing…here she does one of her own songs…

At any rate, here’s hoping that this tradition grows… perhaps next year the L’OPossum/OregonHil.net Jack-O-Lantern Contest can be incorporated into the festival…
Bowties At Benny’s
Here’s a ‘Throwback Thursday’ for ya…The Bowties appearing at Benny’s…
From Throttle Magazine, May, 1985–
Keith MacPhee has left the Bowties, so that band is in the market for a bass player to join forces with Lloyd Huckstep, 800 and Earl Smith and Michael Pritchard. Together since November 1979, the Bowties are one of Richmond’s most enduring groups.
Open High Fall Festival Scheduled For Oct. 27
This event is sponsored by the Open High PTSA for both the school and neighbors in the community.
With Hurricane Michael’s Remnants Gone, Weekend Folk Festival Is A Go
After slamming the Richmond area with a lot of rain and wind yesterday, what’s left of Hurricane Michael has moved off the coast. City of Richmond schools will open with a two hour delay, but the rest of the weekend weather should be dry and cool.
This is a relief to many, but especially the Richmond Folk Festival, which takes place just down the hill, and kicks off at 6 pm this evening.
Because of the massive crowds expected, visitors are encouraged to use shuttles and other options instead of parking in Oregon Hill. But hopefully, everyone can enjoy this great festival.
