@ dan bertolet: why does it matter if they hang onto the name? are you waxing nostalgic about some memories in your head? it’s okay, dan, you can still keep those memories. I just don’t see the “issue” with keeping the name, other than offending some “good-ol-days” sensibility.

@14, I don’t know who our next mayor will be, but he/she will be taking office in 2014. Nickels is going to get re-elected, Mike McGinn has no chance.

Gentle commenters:

Like I said, the venue is great. But why hang on to the name? I saw tons of great shows there and even played there myself a few times during the 90s. Life goes on.

I linked to the Obama facebook page cause I love how the page reads “Position: President of the United States” etc.

And I was wrong about our next mayor. It will be Mike McGinn, obviously.

@2 – there are bike racks and fully functional poles, etc. all over that block for locking up bikes. I think the owner of that mountain bike just likes trees.

Either this post was updated or a lot of people aren’t reading it through. He said it shouldn’t be called the Crocodile. That’s all. Not that there shouldn’t be live music there.

Lets get this straight. So it should have closed and turned into an empty storefront like the rest of the retail spaces on that street?

first, Dan Savage is a fucking wackjob and shouldn’t even be fit to run that washed up slog that used to be a magazine. If you are straight person seeking advice from a fag, you got a couple more issues to work out.

back on track, the croc is nice but they should have changed the name. The old croc had good shows but now it seems like gazing-at-your-shoes is the norm. $18 for a ticket? WTF?

Even if you mostly agree with Nickels’ policies you’ve got to notice he has a wonderful way of alienating people.

Dan,

I, too, have to disagree with you on this one. Like housing, even the Croc has to evolve. It’s great to see another music venue (re)open. In fact it reminds me of…what happened with…(nu)Moes…a great improvement leading to better music. Hopefully the new Croc will get people to shake it unlike the old Croc with its head nodding.

Anyone get in to see the new space? I hear they opened up the stage area and added a mezzanine.
