…tribute to cbgb…

My first time. How exciting. At least in a couple of years when my memory makes up a pretty cool story around this picture. I only went once to the CBGB in September 2006, one month before it closed. It was one of the places that made me feel comfortable, reminding me of some place I’ve been back in Berlin. I absolutely do not remember which band played that night, but when I went to the restroom, I had to take a picture with my cell phone. To go to the restroom you had to walk past the stage and go downstairs. While walking downstairs you could already see most of what’s shown on the postcard since there was a gap between the door and its frame. You had three urinals on the left and a sink on the right. But the most important thing was one step higher, standing there like a throne waiting for important people. I can only imagine how drunk you have to be to actually sit there while watching people walking downstairs. Or should I say while being watched by people coming downstairs? But the real purpose of this toilet was definitely not to sit on it. At least you don’t see the people walking downstairs while you pray to the porcelain god…

I guess I’ll always have this postcard “in stock”, if you want one just send me another postcard. But if you like you can also download the front and the back of the postcard and print your own.
